Whirlpool faucets are essential to a bathroom plumbing system. Faucets also add to the style and design of an entire bathroom. There are three standard types of whirlpool and tub faucets. These include free standing, wall mount, and deck mount.

Bath and Kitchen Studio carries whirlpool faucets from American Standard, FV, Hansgrohe, and Opella.
Free Standing Whirlpool Tub Faucets
Free standing whirlpool and tub faucets are known for their exposed piping and vintage or antique style. Free standing faucets are mounted to the floor and are a direct extension of the pipes that move water throughout your bathroom. Stabilizing brackets, which are often designed to resemble the piping, are sometimes used to secure the faucet to the wall or edge of the tub. The exposed look of free standing whirlpool tub faucets can be the perfect solution for a bathroom in need of functionality and fashion.
Wall Mount Faucets
Wall mount faucets are similar to free standing faucets in the respect that they are both connected directly to the plumbing pipes that run behind the walls and beneath the floor. However, wall mount faucets are referred to as concealed faucets because only their handles and spouts are exposed. The decision to purchase a wall mount faucet system will depend on the type of whirlpool or tub for which it will accompany. Wall mount faucets may require a diverter valve which will direct water between the main faucet and a shower head.
Deck Mount Whirlpool Tub Faucet
The third type of faucet is the deck mount style. Not to be confused with an outdoor patio, deck mount faucets attach directly to the edge of the tub and are the most popular option for shower and tub combination whirlpools and tubs. Deck mount faucets are ideal for saving space in small bathrooms. Their capability to add a hand shower accessory also makes the deck mount faucet option ideal for washing large objects, or the family dog!
