The model BLV-21171-C BLACK is a ceiling-mount basin faucet from the brand BENLIVE, finished in a sleek black tone. This black ceiling faucet is specifically designed to be installed from the ceiling above a basin rather than from the wall or countertop, making it an excellent choice for modern bathrooms, high-end hotels, or commercial settings where a clean, minimalist look is desired. This ceiling-mounted basin mixer functions as a hot and cold mixer, allowing the user to adjust water temperature smoothly.

Materials and Construction

The main body of this brass ceiling faucet is constructed from solid brass, a material valued for its durability, resistance to corrosion, and ability to hold a high-quality finish over many years. The tube or spout section is made from stainless steel, which provides additional strength and resistance to rust. The entire exterior is finished in a matte or glossy black finish, giving this black bathroom faucet a bold, contemporary, and sophisticated appearance that can complement a range of interior design styles, from industrial to modern minimalist. The combination of brass body and stainless steel tube ensures both longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Dimensions and Installation Requirements

The ceiling mount basin faucet has an overall height of 1687.5 millimeters, which is approximately 1.69 meters or 5.54 feet. This unusually tall height indicates that the faucet is intended for ceiling mounting in rooms with standard or elevated ceilings, and it will hang down significantly to reach the basin below. This tall ceiling faucet requires a single hole installation in the ceiling through which the water supply and the faucet body are fitted. The connection thread is G1/2, a standard half-inch BSP thread that is compatible with most flexible supply hoses or rigid plumbing adapters. This single hole ceiling faucet is designed for easy integration with overhead plumbing systems.

Internal Mechanism and Operation

Inside the faucet, a ceramic cartridge controls the flow and mixing of hot and cold water. This ceramic disc cartridge is known for its smooth, precise operation and long service life, as it resists wear and is less likely to develop drips or leaks compared to rubber washers. The user can adjust the handle to increase or decrease flow and to blend hot and cold water to achieve the desired temperature. The hot and cold mixer cartridge provides reliable performance and consistent water temperature control.

Working Pressure Range

The black basin faucet is designed to operate within a working pressure range of 0.05 to 0.6 MPa. For practical reference, this equals 0.5 to 6 bar, or approximately 7.25 to 87 PSI. The lower limit of 0.05 MPa means the faucet can function even with low-pressure water supply systems, such as gravity-fed tanks. The upper limit of 0.6 MPa makes it suitable for most standard household mains pressure systems without risk of damage. This working pressure range of 0.05-0.6 MPa ensures compatibility with a wide variety of residential and commercial plumbing setups.

Warranty

The BENLIVE ceiling-mount basin faucet comes with a warranty period of two years from the date of purchase. This two-year warranty typically covers manufacturing defects, any failure of the ceramic cartridge, and deterioration of the black finish under normal residential or commercial use. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper installation, misuse, excessive water pressure above 0.6 MPa, or damage caused by abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.
