The valve would be an eye-catcher ........ if it (5 cm thick) could be attached to our countertop! The threads for mounting the faucet is too short 2cm. The measure of the thread would be very helpful. It is really to attach only to the sink itself, not our countertop. This note is missing from the product description. This is a shame because I like it better than me. The return will be a bit of a problem. I have very to consider whether I again order a product over MarketPlace me. I realize that the German language is not easy, but the conversation turned out to be somewhat difficult. The hammer was, shall I send a photo of my return-receipt to the company (by email). I do not own a smartphone, nor a digital camera ....... I am convinced that everything will be fine anyway, and the mail order company, will notice the entrance of his product.
