American Standard Belmeade Two-Handle 8-Inch Widespread Bathroom Faucet - AMS-7426801

The Belmeade two-handle faucet is built for a 3-hole sink drilled on 8-inch widespread centers, with the spout and the two handles mounting separately. It will not work on a 4-inch centerset deck plate drilling or a single-hole sink. If your existing holes are 4 inches apart, you need a centerset faucet instead.

The drain is included. Each Belmeade widespread kit ships with a pop-up drain assembly, Speed Connect supply hoses that snap together for a watertight joint, supply lines, and the handles already assembled. For a straight replacement you generally only need the shutoff valves and any new supply risers if the existing ones are shot.

Yes. The Belmeade bath faucet is stated compliant with all national and regional lead-free regulations, which covers the potable-water requirements property managers and institutional buyers are usually asked to document. It is also WaterSense certified, so it meets the reduced-flow criteria some jurisdictions and green building programs require.

Three finishes: polished chrome (7426801.002), brushed nickel (7426801.295), and matte black (7426801.243). If you are standardizing a floor of units or matching existing trim, chrome and brushed nickel are the usual pairings with older American Standard accessories; matte black is the darker contemporary option.

All metal construction on the body. That matters for turnover units and high-traffic washrooms where plastic-bodied faucets crack at the shank. The valve is a ceramic disc cartridge rather than a rubber-washer compression stem, which is what keeps it from weeping at the handle over time.

Go by the deck drilling and the look. The Belmeade widespread is a two-handle layout requiring three holes on 8-inch centers, which gives you separate hot and cold and a traditional sink appearance. A single-handle faucet needs one hole (or a deck plate to cover three) and is quicker for tenants to operate one-handed. If the sink or vanity top is already drilled for 8-inch widespread, the widespread is the only drop-in choice without replacing the top.

Yes, it is WaterSense certified, so it qualifies where a project or utility rebate program calls for WaterSense labeled lavatory faucets. That makes it a reasonable pick for a portfolio-wide fixture swap aimed at cutting water use.

It is set up for a single installer. The handles come pre-assembled, and the Speed Connect hoses snap together rather than needing wrenched compression joints under the deck, which is the part that normally eats time in a tight vanity cabinet. The pop-up drain is in the box, so the tailpiece and lift rod are done at the same time as the faucet.
