Vintage Artistic Brass Swan Bathtub Shower Faucet Fountain Old Stock
Item History & Price
This is a 1980's Artistic Brass "Swan" tub and shower valve.Found at an estate-sale....NEW OLD STOCK.Tub and shower valve is either antique gold or antique brass.Even though the valve is "new" there are parts (washers/o-rings/packing) that can dry out over the years...I have replaced or lubricated/oiled all the moving parts that could be affected by sitting over 35 years.This valve can be installed in various ways for a bath-tub shower combination, in the wall or on the deck.Valve is c...alled a (3) valve diverter system and it can be installed in a standard 8" spread or by changing the 2 "pipe-nipples" between the 3 valves can be extended or shortened as needed. Always use brass nipples on brass valves (galvanized steel nipples just for display and not included)3 handles...left is hot, right is cold, the center handle is called the diverter and it directs the water to the swan-spout or to the shower-head...btw, shower riser can be capped off if there is no shower in your install.This valve could also be used for a fountain install.Artistic Brass was a division of Price Pfister and manufactured in Los Angeles.All the mechanical parts are still made by Price Pfister.This is not a throw-away faucet like much that is manufactured today.Note: The swan is shipped from the factory with the wings off... I will ship the same way.
