Can this cock at that price convince similar valves costs but the retailer well four times? Upon opening the package I poured the same against an unpleasant odor that is known of cheap plastic products from the Far East. Assumed initially that this was due to the cotton bag in which the tap was packed. Mounting material was easily in order of connection. As the water but then tasted by the "smell" was clear, plasticizer in the flexible hoses! So have all broken down again purchased new approved flexible hoses and everything connected again - you have nothing else to do. Conclusion: Hahn makes a high impression, the chrome plating is ok. Only the gap from the big lever is unnecessarily large. Have kept the tap, but, if you would have saved the effort. Therefore, this warning of the hoses so fare no other equally! As compensation me 4 or new bottles were offered! Better not, had waived both. 2 stars 1-2 stars earned more also because of the poor service, only the rooster would have!
