I should have a better look at the exploded view: There is clear that only the handle pivots to the left, making it suitable for washing hands corner, sink not "normal". It remains usable because it is easy to get used to the movement. By cons, zipper bung dotted with rust spots a week after assembly, it is not acceptable. Product purchased under the flash promotions, this may explain this, but I am surprised that GROHE put on the market for defective products.
