Hello everybody, I'm a having a little dilema with an old sink faucet, the one shown in the pictures further down. I'm not sure if it was an American Standard faucet, since the logo and/or brand have been erased by time (usage and cleaning). It was originally installed in 1979. There's rust coming out and staining the sink. I would like to change the faucet. The stains do come off the sink, that isn't a problem.
Also, the faucet seems to be 3" in diameter for the single hole, quite unsual for what I've seen around. I haven't removed the faucet as to measure it exactly (I'm afraid I will break the faucet if I do it, being so rusted) but from the lower side, inside the sink's cabinet, it looks like a 3" diameter or very close to it. And it's also got a peculiar angular shape, which helps compensating for the sink's slanted border.
All of this makes the selection of a new faucet difficult. These are my specific questions:
1. Is there an equal replacement to the faucet to be found anywhere? (I haven't found anything online)
2. If there isn't an equal replacement, is there any other faucet that will both fit the 3" hole and give an appropiate water sprayer angle? If there isn't any faucet that can fit the hole size, is there any ring-type or similar adaptor that can be used to make it fit?
Can anyone help me? Thank you all your very much,
Mike.
