Works great

I needed a new pot filler. When I replace the old OTR microwave oven, there was no longer any room for the old pot filler. This HAVIN “upside down” pot filler was the only affordable pot filler that would fit my new space. BTW. The distance from the center of the 1/2” NPT pipe that comes out of the wall to the bottom edge of the aerator is 5.5” (I could not find this detail anyway in the online spec sheet). Action is smooth, water flows smoothly without splashing, flow control is great, finish quality is top notch. Highly recommend. Also. The addition of a spare internal valve replacement is a nice surprise.

Only Pot Filler found which sits below the water outlet. When remodeling, I had only considered the fill nozzle height above stovetop with a tall pot, not the vent hood. I chose an 18 ga stainless sheet backsplash, requiring a 1.5"D hole to expose the water outlet (bought TCT hole saw). Even with the hood a high 31" above stovetop, a common Pot Filler which swings above the water outlet would interfere, but this one fit perfect (photo).I had already installed the vent hood before receiving the Pot Filler, so had to take apart the first valve section to screw it on without bumping into the hood, but easy - remove setscrew, set of metric set of allen wrenches. I epoxied the 4-hole flange to the stainless backsplash rather than drill holes. If so, don't use the thin rubber washer between them. A 26 mm open-end wrench fits the valve body.Many buyers report problems with leaks at the water outlet. The nipple has an internal hex (10 mm), which allows you to screw in the shorter NPT side to your water outlet without marring the threads with pliers. I used thick yellow ("gas") teflon tape. My copper outlet had an exposed hex (pulling it out slightly) so I could back it up with a wrench to get the nipple very tight, without risk of damaging the behind-wall tubing. The O-ring on the nipple then extended 1/4" past the flange face which was sufficient for it to slide into the valve body for a circumferential seal, as the valve body was screwed on. A setscrew in the flange then locks the valve body from unscrewing under torque of the filler arm.The instructions state that if the nipple O-ring sits too close to the wall to fit inside the valve body, you can use teflon tape between nipple and valve body. I doubt that could work since both are straight threads, unlike tapered pipe threads which jam together as you screw together to capture the teflon tape (or pipe dope). That may be why many reported leaks. When plumbing your house for the Pot Filler, the outlet should be flush or slightly proud of the finished wall. Best is secured to the wall studs so it can move slightly in and out from the wall to perfectly match the pot filler's valve as you screw it on. That allows relying on the circumferential O-ring to seal, as designed.

Have had for almost two years been working great

Only used the pot filler once since I installed it. Very happy with the purchase and seems well built and sturdy.

It’s great. Just what we were looking for. My original one was installed too high.

Bought the right side up unit. Due to my microwave being a little lower due to the slide out shelf, this was perfect! Although it's a little lower than the right side up filler, it works as it should.

Fit my spot perfect. Also if any issues or questions, great customer service.
