EquipmentBlvd2 Sets of Wall Mount Faucet 1/2" NPT Tapered Brass Mounting Kit for AA Faucet, BK Resource, T&S, Fisher

I ordered this kit and did a test fit when it arrived. The threaded nipples where clearly too short. I could easily screw all the pieces together on my new tub without coming close to getting a water tight seal. I emailed "123Buy Equipment" and they quickly sent me a set of replacement nipples "from a different manufacturer". The new ones were MUCH tighter and even though they were the same length as the originals, they worked MUCH better. I don't know if the diameter is bigger or the threads are better machined or what. But this will work great. This explains why some users complain about leaks and others do not - depends on how good your nipples are!

Bought these after reading the reviews. The tapered NPT brass ferrules allowed me to snug them down on the faucet. They must be tapered or the connection will leak. Despite not having a molded nut to turn them, there is enough space to grip them with a large pliers without crushing the threads. I used blue monster tape with blue quick dry Rector Seal. The crush washer helped to snug them to backsplash of a standing stainless sink. The two 30” stainless water lines connected easily and didn’t leak.Was stressed out by all the negative reviews proclaiming leaks. After junction dried (@ two hours), I turned on the valves and it didn’t leak. Whew. I recommend these as I’m not a plumber but I took my time and got it done. Make sure you tape and apply sealant and then screw them in deeply. That’s key.

The deep rosette basin washer is exactly that....a washer that is too thick, even after crushing it down. I got the 1 1/2" long nipple and it is still not long enought to seat the NPT threads. A 1 3/4" length nipple would work. What is needed for a backsplash mounted faucet is a thin threaded nut that can be tightened independently and sandwich the backsplash between the faucet (female NPT) and front of NPT nipple. A 1/2" NPT fitting should use minimal teflon tape (liquid preferred) and be tighted to about 54 ft-lb. Trying to estimate a washer gap after fully tightening both sides of the NPT nipple (elbow & faucet connection) that keeps the faucet tight to backsplash is very difficult, and will most likely result in the NPT fittings not being torqued enough or seated and therefore leak. The rosette washer needs to have a deeper range of crushability and be thinner, or a longer nipple. Nipple length of 2" (common size) may be too long (exceed 2" space before wall). The sequence should be to fully tighten the NPT fittings, then tighten the faucet to the sink backsplash. Any possiblility of getting 1 3/4" nipples?

From what I can find on-line - this is the best choice. It has tapered (NPT) threads that will seal with teflon tape. It's also designed to firmly attach (clamp) to the stainless back-splash. It has a full flow inside diameter to allow big gallons to a commercial faucet.

I bought this for a new compartment sink we had. We searched some hardware stores for these parts, but it was too expensive to buy these parts separately. This kit also comes with tapered threads instead of the regular straight threads so these fit much more snug and are less likely to leak.Elbows allow the sink to be fully pushed against the wall and don't get in the way. I did have to purchase a 30" hose separately to connect this kit to the pipes underneath. We have used the sink for almost a month now and no leaks.

It worked, but I had to purchase extra items.The supplied pipe nipples were not long enough. Unfortunately, the longer pipe nipples I purchased wouldn't allow me to fully tighten the faucet to the sink. I added several rubber washers as spacers and was able to get everything working.

They do the job but depending on your faucet you might need to check the tape.

The threads on the female side, where the nipple goes in to, were machined AFTER threading so they are completely flat and won't seal tightly. You can see when you zoom into the photo, there is no pointy edge to the threads, they are flat. It has caused leaking and no amount of tape or thread sealant would stop it. Cheap product, would not recommend. Beyond my return window now, so I am stuck with junk that was made incorrectly.
