what really bothers me about this setup is that the cold is on the left
There are places on earth which actually have standards about which side is hot and which is cold, and marking them clearly? I want to move there. Even my HOUSE doesn’t stick to one arrangement or the other (… not even the two one-handle mixer taps).
I wanna move there. How easy is it to get a green card these days?
How did you get in my house?
“…not even the two one-handle mixer taps).”
LOL – you or someone else put the faucet back together wrong. Seriously, you can often reverse hot and cold on “mixer taps” if you don’t re-assemble them properly.
Probably european. Their put hot on the wrong side.
guess which civilization exists longer buddy.
you americans started doing everything wrong after you got of the ships
yeah dude, i believe Americans had indoor plumbing first! So yeah, you silly eurpeans with your bad teeth and french women with their braided armpit hair.
We left because you guys were wrong
(and can’t spell)
though neither side seems to have much use for capital letters or punctuation either
Well, you sold us the junkers that you put together wrong in the first place. So, it must be your fault.
Probably you should travel more.
..or just get out of your own country once!
Cold on right hand side is a world standard, as more people tend to be right-handers all around the world
My travels abroad have mostly taught me that indoor plumbing is a luxury, especially hot water. People were still mostly right-handed, though, so I’ll just concentrate on that.
No way, hot is left out here as well. Not sure where in Europe you went? Maybe the UK, but plumbing isn’t really their forte anyway, the Brits still need to discover how you can mix hot and cold BEFORE it leaves the tap.
Experimental evidence
This would have cost as much as most kitchen faucets.
Why would anyone do this to their kitchen?
Did you ever price a new set of faucets? this is cheeper that why
Because they can. This website exists because there will always be people who look at their work and say, “Meh, good enuf.”
The fail is that someone thought this was steampunk.
This doesn’t swing.
Somebody was a little annoyed at the old, drippy faucet, eh?
Because, you know, putting in a normal faucet that is designed to fit there is just too hard.
Another fix by “MR FIX IT”.
Them wood shop class ain’t four nutten!
These people are going to get hosed if they pay this bill from the plumber.
This proves two things- he’s not a plumber or a carpenter (three if you count interior decorator).
You are correct, but he does have brass valves.
Is that some kind of euphemism?
The term, as seen here, is derived from STEAM, as in, “Huh. Maybe there really is hot water hooked up to this thing,” and PUNK, as in, “inexperienced person” and/or “of poor quality.”

eh, what really bothers me about this one is that I’ve done exactly that before
mi a fasz?
Well, it’s original. I certainly never wood have thought of that.
Beautiful granite countertop. Upscale tile backsplash and recessed stainless steel sink. And, granted, the hardware is brass, but… huh? This is like wearing sneakers with a tux!
I like the bodum drying in the dishrack in the background. “We absolutely care about making fine coffee, but who gives a rat’s ass how we get the water!”
Is it still proper Steampunk if the pipes are corrugated plastic instead of mirror-polished copper?
No, the pipes should have been molded black cast iron pieces carefully bolted together with leather washers to insure no leakage, and a CROWN emblazoned on each faucet.
maybe it’s a temporary thing. like if you and/or your spouse special order the one faucet that you need to have and then it shows up damaged. so instead of keeping the sink offline for a week, just mickey mouse something like this.
i may not know precisely what steampunk is, but this surely isn’t.
it’s just outdoor hose taps mounted on a piece of wood.
I agree with Mister Donuthole. This was done because they needed the sink right away and were waiting on their faucet. A better fix would have been to install a proper temporary faucet but if I had these two valves laying around I would have done the same thing. As for cold on the left, well I think that it got mixed up initially which is why it is now labeled.
I don’t get it. What’s wrong?
I have a sneaking suspicion that they get some pretty respectable flow and pressure from that fat bastard.
And then are the Spanish speaking countries where C=Caliente (Hot), and H=Heilos (Cold). Go figure.
