And if you’re searching for a product to offer an eye-catching focal point, while providing durability and reliability for a lifetime, look no further than Delta.

Low lead compliant refers to a faucet that will meet the requirements of low lead laws in certain states like California and Vermont. There are always minor amounts of lead in the metals used in the manufacture of faucets but only a few states have laws which require you to purchase faucets with a certain level of lead used in production. The Delta DST Faucets are compliant with these laws because the water never touches metal that contains lead.
The plate under the faucet is what's called an escutcheon and it is included with the faucet. It usually acts as a cover for other holes in your counter/sink, such as going from a three hole installation to a one hole.

Like many retailers, Build.com can choose to set its own prices independently. And even though manufacturers require Build.com and other retailers to display a product's "minimum advertised price" (or MAP), the retailer can choose to sell for less than that. But the price must be conveyed in other ways, and each individual manufacturer's MAP policy determines where the price can be seen.
To see the price for this product at Build.com, you'll need to place it in your shopping cart, and maybe even proceed to final checkout. If you're not ready to buy the product, simply remove it from the cart.
Build.com apologizes for any inconvenience. We'd just like to offer you the chance to save extra money while we adhere to manufacturers' MAP policies. Build.com is also working to educate manufacturers on how their policies impact customers and their buying behavior.
