Wasserman Faucets Wasserman 2 Handle Utility/Laundry/Shop Sink Faucet with Pull Out Sprayer in Chrome, Non-Metallic ABS Plastic, 4" Centerset for Laundry Room, Garage, Mud Room, RV

A budget-friendly utility faucet that punches above its weight

I put the Wasserman utility faucet to work on a beat-up laundry tub that sees everything from paint trays and muddy boots to aquarium buckets. I wanted two handles for quick temperature mixing, a 4-inch centerset to fit my existing three-hole sink, and a pull-out sprayer to reach the corners without wrestling a hose. This faucet checked all those boxes and came in at a price that made sense for a hard-used, low-glamour space.

Design and build

This is a two-handle, 4-inch centerset faucet built from non-metallic ABS with a chrome-look finish. The handles are ADA-compliant levers—easy to use with wet hands or gloves—and the spout is a pull-out design with a dual spray head. The body and shanks are plastic, which keeps weight down and won’t corrode, but it doesn’t offer the dense, cold-to-the-touch feel of brass. If you value durability over everything, that’s a trade-off to note.

The pull-out head swivels freely in the dock and the hose has enough length to reach all corners of a standard utility tub and fill a bucket sitting on the floor. The head toggles between a focused stream and a wider spray via a button on the nozzle.

Internally, it uses a washerless cartridge. In my experience, washerless designs are less prone to the slow-drip leaks that develop in compression faucets, and they’re smooth to operate even after mineral buildup starts. Time will tell on ultimate longevity, but the out-of-the-box feel is crisp.

Installation: straightforward if you mind the plastic threads

Install is as simple as utility faucets get:

• 3-hole, 4-inch centerset mount. Drop it in, align, and tighten the two under-sink nuts.
• Standard 1/2-inch IPS male shanks. Your supply lines should have 1/2-inch female IPS ends to thread on.

Because the shanks are non-metallic, I was careful not to over-tighten. I used hand tight plus roughly a quarter turn with a wrench—just enough to compress the gasket and stop any seep. If you’re using braided stainless lines, thread the nuts gently and make sure they bite squarely to avoid cross-threading plastic.

A few install tips that saved me time and grief:
- Add a thin bead of plumber’s putty or a quality silicone around the base if your sink deck isn’t perfectly flat; it keeps water from sneaking underneath.
- Before connecting supply lines, purge the lines into a bucket to flush debris. Plastic cartridges don’t love grit.
- Check the pull-out hose routing. Avoid sharp kinks, give it a clear path, and add a small adhesive hook or weight under the sink if the hose rubs on anything.

From cabinet door open to water flowing, I spent under 30 minutes with standard hand tools.

Performance and ergonomics

The handles turn smoothly with light effort and give predictable temperature control. I appreciate that in a utility setting where I’m turning on and off constantly. The spout docks positively and doesn’t droop. Swivel action is light, and the head pulls out and retracts cleanly without snagging.

Flow is adequate for utility tasks—rinsing paint tools, blasting off mud, filling a mop bucket. The aerator/spray head includes a flow limiter, which softens the stream compared to a full-bore utility spigot. For me, that meant less splashback in the shallow tub while still moving water fast enough to rinse soap and debris. If you want maximum flow, you can remove or swap the restrictor in some heads, but that can violate local codes and may affect warranty, so weigh that choice carefully.

The sprayer: useful reach with a few quirks

The dual-spray head offers a standard laminar stream and a fan spray. The spray pattern is wide enough to cover the back corners of my tub, and the reach is good—filling a five-gallon bucket on the floor didn’t require awkward contortions. The toggle button, however, requires a firm press. With wet or soapy hands, it’s manageable, but it’s not the most tactile button I’ve used. It does switch reliably once pressed decisively.

Docking the head is snappy, and the seal is tight enough that I didn’t get drips from the spray face when switching back to stream. Expect a brief dribble when you hang it up after spraying—typical for pull-outs.

Build trade-offs: ABS has benefits and limits

Non-metallic construction is a double-edged sword. On the plus side:
- Corrosion and mineral resistance are excellent. I don’t worry about the spout pitting or the handles seizing.
- Weight is low, which makes installation easier and makes sense for RV or mobile applications.
- The finish stays bright with just a wipe-down.

The compromises:
- It doesn’t have the rugged feel of brass. If you bang heavy tools on it or routinely crank fittings tight against it, plastic has a lower margin for abuse.
- The plastic threads on the shanks need careful handling. Over-tightening can crack them.
- The chrome-look finish can scratch if you scrub with abrasive pads.

In a laundry or garage sink where function matters more than polish, these trade-offs are acceptable, but it’s worth setting expectations.

Durability and maintenance

A few habits improve life with any pull-out faucet, especially a plastic one:
- Winterizing: If this goes on an outdoor sink or in an unheated garage, drain the lines and the pull-out hose before a freeze. Water trapped in the hose or head will expand and can crack fittings.
- Hose stress: Don’t leave the head hanging by the hose weight; let it dock fully so the internal connection isn’t constantly loaded.
- Periodic checks: After the first week, snug the mounting nuts and supply connections. Plastic can relax slightly; a quarter turn can stop a weep before it becomes a drip.

The washerless cartridges are generally tolerant of hard water, but if your water is very mineral-rich, a periodic soak of the aerator/spray face in vinegar keeps the pattern even.

Where it fits best

I see the Wasserman utility faucet as a solid match for:
- Laundry and mudroom sinks that need a pull-out to reach corners and rinse boots or trays.
- Garage utility tubs where you want hands-on control and quick spray for cleanup.
- RV or mobile installs, where low weight and corrosion resistance matter.

I would not choose it for:
- A commercial shop with constant heavy use, where a metal-bodied faucet will better absorb abuse.
- Installations that cannot be winterized but are exposed to freezing temperatures.

Value

This faucet hits a sweet spot for price and capability. The pull-out function, ADA levers, full swivel, and a washerless cartridge at this cost are hard to argue with. It won’t impress as a showpiece, but it accomplishes the job without fuss. If you’re replacing a failing OEM plastic faucet on a utility tub, this is a like-for-like upgrade in function, with a sprayer that genuinely improves cleanup.

The limited lifetime warranty is a nice backstop, though—as with most plumbing warranties—you’ll want to keep proof of purchase and understand it covers defects, not damage from installation errors or freeze events.

What I’d change

Two things would improve the experience:
- A more tactile, lighter-action spray toggle on the head.
- Optional metal-reinforced shanks or included adapter sleeves to reduce the risk of over-tightening damage during install.

Neither is a deal-breaker, but both would add confidence.

The bottom line

The Wasserman utility faucet earns its keep. It installs easily, reaches everywhere a utility sink needs, and handles the unglamorous jobs of rinsing, soaking, and spraying without drama. The ABS build is a conscious compromise: you gain corrosion resistance and a low price, but you give up the heft and ultimate durability of metal. Treat it with a bit of care—especially at the plastic threads and in freezing weather—and it should serve well.

Recommendation: I recommend the Wasserman utility faucet for budget-conscious laundry rooms, garages, mudrooms, and RVs that need the flexibility of a pull-out sprayer. It’s a practical, inexpensive upgrade with user-friendly controls. If you need a tank-like faucet for heavy commercial use or want premium fit-and-finish, look to a brass alternative; otherwise, this is a smart, capable choice for everyday utility tasks.
