Everything unfortunately what is behind it a pure disappointment:
-The connector, which connects the linkage from the plugs and the extractor of the fitting is unfortunately unstable plastic and screws "gnabbeln" easily
-> My old that was still made of metal
-The plug itself is plastic, so if you want to fill the sink and operates the extraction lever, you have to push in addition by hand the plug,
since due to the plastic now lack the necessary weight to press around
-The adjusting besides threaded to adjust the height of the plug is also plastic
-The extender bar to actuate the stopper, looks normal right towards the rear wall
-> If your wall from the sink edge is equal to direct high (like me) you must the bar as far as easily "twist" that the overcoat either 90 ° to the left
or is located on the right, as you can not pull the plug involved through (which is anyway not going through the missing weight), because your when the linkage off
against the back wall is the same and no new game to have more pull. Result: The plug bagged not deep enough
- You> offset by 90 ° again all freedoms
The actual hammer is yet to come now:
There is no seal Styrofoam-like seal or at least settled a small tube Plastikkitt to the cup for ceramic back. Without this you can not so tight
tighten as you want, the water will always run in between. At first I thought even that might accidentally added nothing in this fitting. But as I
two have ordered it and was also included in the second package nothing I can definitely say that it is not included.
Consequently I had to the hardware store and I should use it even to create what has been very annoyed.
All in all I'm heartbroken and believed not do wrong in buying Grohe. Not only is the quality I was a criterion, but I thought that in this
Price (after all, more than 200, - German marks per fitting) everything is included in the scope in order to block it then the same can. That because but something is missing and we must once again going to get to what is not exactly point of the exercise. Even the Grohe Customer Service saw no reason for altering at all my kind inquiry of this fact respond.
Consequence will be (I have yet to equip two bathrooms) that I no longer consider the Grohe products and umsteige on Ideal Standard.
I would have to be consistent to send it back again. Since I've already got it installed and have no desire to "zerrupfen" it again it stays here now.
And please now no farmer sly comments like: "but the DIY version" .. etc. The "cheap" hardware store variants all had the seal of the ceramic cup here and had many fittings were made of metal; even even the plugs.
