This Company In Brief

T&S Brass and Bronze Works, Inc. is an American manufacturer of commercial and specialty fau­cets.

It has begun designing fau­cets specifically for residential use and some of its commercial fau­cets can be adapted for use in home kitchens.

Firmly utilitarian in style, the fau­cets are generally of exceptional quality.

It manufactures its own fau­cets but not necessarily in the U.S. It opened a factory in Shanghai in 2004 that manufactures T&S products primarily for the growing Asian market but also supplies components to the South Carolina plant.

T & S Brass and Bronze Works, Inc. is a privately owned U.S.-based manufacturer. Its principal paroducts are heavy-duty commercial and specialty fau­cets.

However, it is expanding into the non-commercial market with recently introduced lines of fau­cets designed to attract residential buyers.

The Company

T & S Brass and Bronze Works, Inc. was founded on Long Island in 1947 by George I. Thei­sen (1926-2004), a U. S. Marine veteran wounded in the battle for Iwo Jima in World War II for which he was awarded a Purple Heart.

The company moved to Travelers Rest, South Carolina, in 1978 and opened a West Coast distribution center in Simi Valley, CA in 1992.

In 2022 it ccompleted the first phase of a planned $10.3 million expansion of its South Carolina operations.

Its initial product was the pre-rinse commercial kitchen fau­cet invented by Mr. Thei­sen.

It is still owned and managed by the Thei­sen family.

Claude Thei­sen, a son of the founder, was president and CEO from 1992 to 2024 when he moved up to chairman and Eva-Mar­ie (Thei­sen) Fox assumed the position of president and CEO. Other members of the Thei­sen family occupy management positions with the company.

The company manufactures and sells two brands of fau­cets, fittings, specialty products, and accessories for food service, industrial, and laboratory markets: its original T&S Brass brand and its less expensive Equip line.

Manufacturing

T&S Brass manufactures its own fau­cets, but not necessarily in the U.S.

At one time it did, and all of its fau­cets qualified as "Made in U.S.A." products. That has not been true, however, for at least two decades.

The transition to foreign manufacturing got a major boost in 2004 when the company opened a Chinese factory, T&S Eva Brass & Bronze Works, in Shanghai.

The Eva Works manufactures T&S products primarily for the growing Asian market but also supplies a substantial part of the components used by the South Carolina plant, as well as some ready-to-sell finished fau­cets.

Most, if not all, of the company's fau­cets in its new residential collections, LakeCrest and WaveCrest. are produced by T&S in China as are its Eterna compression valve cartridges.

According to import and customs records for the past 24 months, the company has also imported fau­cet parts and components from:

At this point in its history, it is doubtful that any T&S fau­cet still meets the stringent requirements for advertising "Made in U.S.A." status established by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The FTC rules require the following:

Most T&S faucets sold in North America qualify for

"Assembled in the U.S.A."

or

"Made in the U.S.A. from Imported Components."

However, they contain more than a "de minimus" amount of foreign content and cannot meet the requirements for an unqualified "Made in U.S.A." claim.

The Faucets

T&S Brass invented the pre-rinse fau­cet, a style now found in almost every commercial kitchen and a growing number of private homes.

It is still the backbone of its line of commercial fau­cets. T&S makes more of them in more variations than any other manufacturer.

A great many other companies have copied the style but none has improved on it.

Many of the T&S pre-rinse units are not suitable for home use.

Some are too tall (taller than the ceiling in most kitchens), require more water pressure than is normally found in a residence, or require attachment to a wall behind the sink that not available in most residential kitchens that have a window over the sink.

However, T&S has a line of low-profile pre-rinse units suitable for residential use. They are unrivaled in quality and function — a brass, chrome, and stainless unit for under $400.00 (street price, from most sellers).

These are hulking, massive, heavy-duty, industrial fau­cets, weighing up to 20 lbs., designed and engineered for nearly constant use and a lot of abuse.

In the last few years, T&S Brass has begun modernizing its look and adding fau­cets that appear to be purposely slanted toward the residential marketplace.

The new collections are the Crest series composed the WaveCrest and LakeCrest collections, the Ultrarinse series and EverSteel® Stainless faucets.

WaveCrest

The WaveCrest collection contains sensor fau­cets intendef primarily for installation in commercial restrooms. An electric eye senses hand movement and turns water on at a previously set flow rate and temperature. The touch-free operation is intended to improve hygiene in public facilities and save water. It is suitable for hotels and university housing, but not private residences.

The company also sells electronic fau­cets in three older collections: CEF, Checkpoint, and Equip.

LakeCrest

Faucets in the LakeCrest collection are manually-operated fau­cets with "commercial grade construction." Most are lavatory faucets.

One lavatory faucet is a designed for commercial installation. The other fau­cets in the collection, however, would be at home in a residential bathroom. The sole kitchen pre-rinse or semi-pro fau­cet is clearly intended only for residential use.

Most LakeCrest fau­cets are single-handle designs and include a ceramic mixing valve cartridge that is guaranteed for just two years.

Ultrarinse

Also new is the the Ultrarinse collection. Its claim to fame is a patented spray wand with multiple "fan spray tips" that "maximize surface area contact and clean and rinse more quickly."

For buyers that do not want the size and height of a pre-rise fau­cet, these might be a good choice. In our tests, however, T&S pre-rinse fau­cets generally did a better job of rinsing and were better suited to rinsing large and bulky items items.

EverSteel® Stainless

Eversteel is the company's premium line of commercial fau­cets featuring "time tested" commercial designs but made from stainless steel rather than brass. The collection includes fau­cets, full-size and low-profile pre-rinse units, and glass fillers. All of the products in the collection are made in China.

Faucets in this collection are guaranteed for a "limited lifetime", but that term is somewhat deceptive since it does not include every part of the fau­cet. (See more, below)

The stainless steel used is described by T&S as "premium", a term that means next to nothing. There are all sorts of alloys of stainless steel, each desgined for a particular purpose, most of which can be described as premium.

Fau­cet steel is usually 304 or 316 stainless. These alloys contain 18% chrom­ium and 8-10% nickel. The T&S announcment of the EverSteel line in March, 20024 identified the steels as 304L and 316L – low carbon versions of the basic alloys. Low carbon alloys have a slightly better resistance to corrosion.

Nickel gives the steel a particular crystalline structure which increases its strength and malleability. Chromium (or chrome) helps the steel resist corrosion. A small amount of molyb­denum (2-3%) is added to 316 steel to better resist acids.

Both alloys are austenitic steels, meaning they are low- or non-magnetic.

Stainless 304, known as "food grade" stainless, is by far the more commonly-used alloy for making sinks and fau­cets. However, 316 stainless, known as "marine grade," has superior resistance to pitting, corrosion, and staining, particularly in acidic or salt environments.

For kitchen fau­cets, 316 is considered the better material, but it is more expensive. Only a few manufacturers use it to make fau­cets.

switched from 304 to 316 stainless in 2019. sells stainless kitchen fau­cets made in Italy by Super Inox S.R.L. These fau­cets are also 316 stainless.

We don't know which products are 304 and which are 316 stainless or if all products are a mix of both alloys. The company website does not identify the steel used in each product. We have asked T&S to identify the alloys used, but have not yet had a response from the company.

Why Stainless Steel Does Not Rust:

Actually it does rust, but very, very slowly.
Properly alloyed stainless contains at least 12% chromium (which gives stainless its slight yellowish tinge) and a dollop of nickel. These form a coating of oxides and hydroxides on the outer surface of the steel that blocks most oxygen and water from reaching the underlying metal, retarding rust.
The coating is very thin, only a few atoms thick, so thin that it is invisible to the eye under ordinary light but thick enough to protect the fau­cet.
But, if left in a humid or acidic environment for long enough, rust will begin to form. It can be removed, however with Bar Keepers Friend (which contains rust-destroying oxalic acid), a sponge, and warm water.
New Finishes

To acompany its new fau­cet designs, the company has introduced two new finishes to supplement its standard Polished Chrome. Some of the fau­cets in the new collections are available Brushed Nickel and Matte Black. These finishes are very adventuresome for T&S which has rigidly stuck with its basic Polished Crome finish for most of a century.

The sole kitchen fau­cet in the LakeCrest collection is in Brushed Stainless Steel. No lavatory fau­cet has this finish.

Faucet Valves & Cartridges

A few years ago, all of the company's fau­cets were traditional two-handle styles. It has recently introduced single-handle fau­cets, in its LakeCrest collection, most for the lavatory but also in a few kitchen fau­cets. The styling looks like something out of a 1980s catalog, but the quality is very good.

Eterna and Cerama Valves: Two-Handle Faucets

The standard valve for the company's traditional two-handle fau­cets for a half-century was and still is the Eterna cartridge.

It is a compression valve, the oldest type of fau­cet valve, invented in 1845 by Guest and Chrimes, a brass foundry in Rotherham, England. It controls water by screwing a rubber washer into a brass or bronze seat to stop the flow. Backing the washer away from the seat allows the flow to resume.

Despite the implication of its name, the Eterna valve is not eternal, or, if it is, it is being short-changed by the company warranty which guarantees it against defects for just one year.

By comparison, the Qua­turn compression cartridge made by its rival, the is guaranteed for five years.

The Quaturn is not a better valve, it just has a better warranty provided by a company that is less timid about its warranty protection. Five years is not a great warranty, but it is better than one year.

The T&S guarantee does not include replacing the compression seat washer from time to time as it wears out. Replacing a worn seat washer is considered routine maintenance, not a defect.

The company also offers a more modern ceramic valve cartridge, the Cerama, that controls water using nearly indestructible ceramic discs.
Buying Rule for
Smart Faucet Buyers

Valve Cartridge

Never buy a fau­cet until you know the type of cartridge used in the fau­cet and who made it.

Its cartridge is the heart of a modern fau­cet and should be your very first consideration when making a buying decision.

It is the component that controls water flow and temperature. Its finish may fail, and the fau­cet will still work. It may be discolored, corroded, and ugly but water still flows.

If the cartridge fails, however, the fau­cet is no longer a fau­cet. It is out of business until the cartridge is replaced. It's important, therefore, that the cartridge be robust and durable, lasting for many years.


For more information on fau­cet vales and cartridges, the differences among them, and the history behind each technology, see Fau­cet Ba­sics, Part 2: Fau­cet Valves & Car­tridg­es.

Turning the handle aligns strategically placed openings in the disks, permitting water to flow.

The Eterna is the company's standard valve because, surprisingly enough, compression valves are the preferred valve technology in commercial kitchens where the ease of replacing the seat washer outweighs the nuisance of having to replace it fairly often.

An Arby's or McDonald's kitchen cannot shut down for a day waiting for a replacement valve to arrive by FedEx, it needs to be able to get a malfunctioning fau­cet working again right now, and replacing the compression seat washer — which typically takes about 10 minutes and uses parts carried in every plumber's toolbox — usually does the trick.

For residential use, however, a more maintenance-free ceramic valve cartridge is preferred. The T&S Cerama valve cartridge is guaranteed for a lifetime and is available as an option for most T&S two-handle fau­cets.

Standardized Ceramic Valve Cartridges: Single-Handle Faucets

All valves for the company's single-handle fau­cets are also ceramic but are not Cerama valves.

These are not proprietary valves, designed and engineered by T&S.

The cartridges are in developed in the 1980s by Galatron Plast S.p.a. , an Italian company, and widely adopted in the fau­cet industry.

For a video on its stem cartridges produced by T&S, click here.

We don't know for certain where they are made, but based on import and customs records believe the manufacturer is probably Geann Industrial, a technical ceramics manufacturer specializing in fau­cet cartridges based in Taiwan.

Geann's cartridges are generally considered among the very best, used in good quality fau­cets like those sold by

Most of these companies guarantee their Geann cartridges for a liftime. The T&S warranty, however, is just two years. Why? We don't know. Our examination of the cartridges revealed quality manufacturing and robust cartridges unlikely to ever leak from a manufacturing defect.

Special Purpose Faucets

The company makes dozens of fau­cets for special requirements, including fau­cets specifically designed for laboratories, pet grooming salons, convenience stores, and healthcare facilities.

Some T&S faucets you will rarely see in residential use, like wash-down hose reel units, glass fillers, and tin-lined fau­cets with snap-on hose connectors for chemical laboratories.

Some, however, have residential applications. These include fau­cets with wrist blade handles designed for hospitals but useful in home kitchens to operate a fau­cet when your hands are covered in soapy water or salad dressing. Because they were developed for hospitals where hygiene is king, the wrist blades are anti-microbial — coated with a microbe-killing barrier.

The T&S Brass Website

The T&S website is aimed at designers, architects, and engineers – folks who specify fau­cets for commercial uses – the company's bread-and-butter business.

It is filled with details about each fau­cet. These include comprehensive specifications, dimensioned drawings, installation instructions, the standards to which the fau­cet has been tested and certified, the material from which the fau­cet is manufactured, flow rates available, handle options, aerator options, and any special features.

A T&S Brass wall-mounted reel fau­cet – a commercial fau­cet largely unsuited for home use. Its 30' hose is intended, among other uses, to pressure wash an entire commercial kitchen.
The Wheel pulldown kitchen faucet by is one residential adaptation of the commercial hose reel fau­cet.
It is no more practical for home use than the more common spring-style pre-rinse faucet but it certainly makes a statement (for an outlay of well over $10,000 as shown).

The extent of detail provided is a model that other fau­cet companies would be smart to follow.

Omitted Specifications

A couple of critical specifications are missing, however.

The first is the source of its valve cartridges.

The Eterna compression cartridges was at one time made in the U.S. We do not believe that's true today. It appers to be made in China by the T&S factory in Shanghai.

The Cerama ceramic valve cartridge for two-handle fau­cets and the ceramic mixing cartridges for single-handle fau­cets are probably made in Taiwan by Geann Industrial Co., Ltd..

Also omitted are the processes used to produce its fau­cet finishes.

We know that Chrome is an finish. Brushed Nickel is also most likely electroplated and Matte Black is probably a , but either or both could be produced using the more robust (PVD) process.

Stainless steel fau­cets have no applied coating. The "finish" is the material of the fau­cet buffed and polished or brushed to an attractive finish.

The finishing process largely determines the durability of the resulting finish. Powder coatings, for example, are only semi-durable and require care not to mar or damage. PVD finishes are very hardy: by some estimates, ten to twenty times more scratch- and mar-resistant that electroplated chrome.

Buy American Act

They Buy American Act is a Depression-Era federal law that requires the U.S. government to buy products made in America if such products are available and not unreasonably expensive. Originally, a product was considered made in America if it was manufactured in the U.S. and more than 55% of its components were produced in the U.S.

Recent federal legislation has raised the component requirements. As of 2024, it is 65% rising to 75% in 2029.

If you are interested in buying a faucet produced in America, the Buy American Act is a reasonable guide, and T&S Brass publishes a list of its products that meet current BAA guidelines on its website. (View the list of BAA products.)

Faucet Warranty

T&S constantly stresses the reliability and durability of its fau­cets. It taglines are "Reliability built In." and "Install It & Forget it." But when it comes to its warranty, the company's effusive confidence in the reliability of its faucets seems to disappear.

Its warranty is the weak spot in an otherwise sterling operation. It's OK but not great as a warranty for commercial fau­cets, but as a warranty for residential faucets, it falls woefully short of the expected lifetime warranty pioneered by guarantees its heavy-duty commercial faucets for five years, a warranty that is considered by the industry to be very generous.

Faucets used in commercial applications are hard used. In a residential setting, owners are unlikely to abuse their faucets. If the building is a revolving door for visitors, like a school, stadium, or office building lavatory, faucets must withstand constant heavy use, and even occasional misuse from unfamiliar users.

Likewise, faucets installed in a restaurant or institutional kitchen are likely to get more use in a few weeks than a residential faucet will endure in a year.

Defects in the commercial faucet are likely to manifest within a few months of installation rather than the years typical of residential faucets. From this perspective, then, a warranty that would be unreasonably short for a residential faucet is acceptable for a commercial faucet.

Nontheless, a company like T&S that sells faucets that will be used in both situations should offer a warranty suitable to both.

Definition of "Lifetime"

Some T&S Brass faucet components, such as fau­cets in the Ever­Steel collection and the Cer­ama ceramic cartridge for two-handle fau­cets, are warranted for a lifetime but we don't know how long that lifetime is. The term is not defined.

Lifetime could mean the lifetime of the buyer, the lifetime of the fau­cet, even the lifetime of the component. As U.S. courts have stated time and tima again, the term is not self-defining. It needs to be explained.

The ambiguity resulting from failure to provide a definition is a violation of the Mag­nu­son-Moss War­ranty Act (15 U.S.C. §2301), the federal law that dictates the minimum content and form of consumer product warranties. This law requires the duration of a warranty be stated in such a way that the duration of the warranty can be determined with certainty. (16 CFR §701.3(4))

This is, unfortunately, a common mistake in warranties not written by a lawyer, and sometimes in those written by a lawyer who needs to go back to school for a little warranty law refresher.

Magnuson-Moss has a solution, however. The application of the doctrine of Contra Proferentem requires an ambiguous term to be given the meaning most favorable to the consumer – in this case, probably the actual lifetime of the buyer.

In any event, the lifetime warranty, however long it is, does not apply to every part of an EverSteel fau­cet. Eterna valve cartridges are still limited to one year, hoses just 2 or 3 years, and EasyInstall pop-and-lock technology, available with some EverSteel faucets, to three years.

Shipping and Handling Charges

A customer already vexed by the failure of a fau­cet that is supposed to be a heavy-duty, commercial-grade product, is going to be even more annoyed by this provision:

"To obtain warranty service, products must be returned to T&S Brass and Bronze Works, Inc… Shipping, freight, insurance and other transportation charges of the returned product to T&S and the return of the repaired or replaced product to the purchaser are the responsibility of the purchaser."

Taxing a customer with shipping and handling charges may save the company a few pennies, but costs the company a lot in goodwill.

The customer is probably never again going to buy another T&S product, and will probably not have nice things to say about the company or its fau­cets to friends, family, and fellow carpoolers.

It makes absolutely no business sense whatsoever.

The company should be looking at a warranty claim as golden marketing opportunity, a not-to-be missed chance to cement customer loyalty to the company and its prpducts by providing an exceptional warranty and outstanding claim service that minimizes the burden on the customer and restores the defective fau­cet as quickly as possible.

Instead, it views a warranty claim as an annoyance to be avoided where possible and minimized where it cannot be avoided.

Ownership and Transferability

The warranty uses a lot of words to simply state that the warranty belongs to the consumer owner of a product, not the trade professional who may actually buy the product and, once it reaches the consumer, it is no longer transferable. Here is the language:

"This warranty is provided to the original purchaser only and may not be assigned or transferred by the original purchaser of the product, other than when purchased for resale, in which case the reselling original purchaser may assign the warranty to the purchaser from the reseller who shall be deemed the original purchaser under this limited warranty, but the warranty may not be assigned thereafter."

What the warranty writer is touching on is the problem that may arise when a product is not purchased by the ultimate consumer, but by a contractor or plumber for or on behaf of the consumer. The writer wants to make it clear that the consumer is the "original purchaser" entitled to the warranty, not the contractor or plumber.

There are a lot simpler and less verbose ways of doing that. Conside the following:

"This warranty is provided to the original consumer purchaser and may not be assigned or transferred to a subsequent owner of the product."

Why does this language work? Because the plumber and contractor are not consumers. They are buying the faucet for resale and by law a reseller is not a consumer. So the warranty bypasses the trade professionals and attaches to the customer for whom the product was purchased.

The second problem with the language is that while it prevents the warranty itself from being transferred, it does not prevent a subsequent owner from benefiting under the warranty.

Consider this situation:

Floyd buys a faucet from T&S and installs it in his kitchen. Years later he sells his house, including the faucet, to his good buddy, George. A few years more and the faucet's Cerama cartridge breaks. Does the lifetime cartridge warranty still exist? If it does, who has it?

We know it's not George because the warranty is not transferable. But we also know that the warranty has not expired because Floyd is not yet dead, and Floyd dying is the only event that terminates the lifetime warranty.

So, the warranty is still in effect and Floyd owns it. Can Floyd make a claim under the warranty to help George?

In most states, he can. A party to a contract (a warranty is a contract) can claim under the contract for the benefit of a person who is not a party to the contract so long as the possibility of such a claim is reasonably forseeable at the time the parties entered into the contract.

What T&S needs to forestall this situation is different language, such as:

"This warranty is provided to the original consumer purchaser ("Warantee") and continues in effect while the Warrantee owns the product or for the duration stated in this warranty, whichever is the shorter."

Why does this language work? Simple. There is no possibility of the warranty being transferred to a subsequent owner because the very moment that the warranty transfers to the next owner, it ends.

Customer Support

A faucet company selling commercial faucets provides outstanding customer support or it does not stay in business very long.

T&S Brass is no exception. It has been in business most of a century in no small part because it customer service is excellent. Agents are familiar with its products and able to handle just about any pre or post-sale question, issue, or problem.

The Better Business Bureau scores the company A+ for its handling of customer concerns – its highest score – rrpresenting the Bureau's very high "opinion of how the business is likely to interact with its customers."

Testing & Certification

Where to Buy

T&S Brass commercial faucets are sold at foodservice dealers – companies that provide equipment for commercial kitchens. Its residential faucets are available at plumbing suppliers, both brick-and-mortar and online. These are listed on the company website, but not easy to find. Click "CONTACT" at the main menu, then "Where to Buy."

The more consumer-friendly retail sites such as Amazon.com are not identified.

If converting a commercial faucet to residential use, you will probably want professional help from a kitchen planner to ensure a configuration that will work and is legal in your locality. These are available at most decorative plumbing showrooms that carry T&S products.

Faucet Street Price Comparison

In U.S. Dollars
Minimum Advertised Pricing

No matter where you buy a T&S faucet, however, do not expect dramatic discounts from the company's list price. The company maintains a Minimum Advertised Pricing policy that prevents retailers from advertising a price below that which is allowed by T&S. A retailer can sell below that price, but cannot advertise the lower price.

The purpose of the policy is to keep online sellers with their much lower overhead from undercutting the brick-and-mortar showrooms that are the company's bread and butter.

We are not privy to the actual policy – not being authorized retailers outselves – but from comparisons between list and advertised street prices, we found the allowable discounts to be somewhere around a rather generous 50%.

Some online sellers discount further, they just don't advertise it.

Comparable Faucets

Companies selling commercial fau­cets in the U.S. and Canada comparable to T&S fau­cets include

Central Brass, Elkay, and most Franke fau­cets are made in Taiwan and China. Chicago fau­cets and Symmons commercial fau­cets are made or assembled in the U.S.

Conclusions

If you are in the market for a solid, reliable fau­cet, especially a pre-rinse fau­cet, T&S is worth a look. Not particularly stylish but durable and reliable, T&S fau­cets should give you years of trouble-free service.

If buying a T&S pre-rinse fau­cet, however, keep these thoughts in mind:

No matter the type of fau­cet selected, choose the ceramic ceramic valve cartridge. Ceramic requires less maintenance and has a longer warranty. If the Cerama is not available for a particular two-handle fau­cet, choose another model.

We think it unlikely that a T&S fau­cet will develop a defect. If it does however, keep in mind that the T&S warranty is barely adequate as a commercial warranty and it is truly anemic as a residential fau­cet warranty.

Additionally, you are liable for all of the costs of shipping a failed fau­cet to T&S Brass for inspection and repairs and the costs of shipping it back to you – a true penny-pinching provision that saves the company a few cents but paints it as mean-spirited and rapacious.

The majority of the members of our rating panel would buy a T&S fau­cet only with "some hesitation," primarily due to the very short-term warranty. Only two members, both with food service experience, would buy one with "no reserations."

We are continuing to research the company. If you have experience with T&S Brass fau­cets, good, bad, or indifferent, we would like to hear about it, so please contact us or post a comment below.
