Grohe 23486a0a Essence Single-handle Bathroom Faucet 1.2 Gpm L-size Swivel Spout Hard Graphite Solid Brass Deck Mount

Product Description

The GROHE 23486a0a Essence Single-Handle Bathroom Faucet is a solid brass deck-mount faucet designed for modern residential and commercial bathrooms. Built around a clean cylindrical silhouette, this L-size faucet delivers both refined aesthetics and reliable daily performance. It is a strong choice for plumbers, contractors, and remodeling professionals who need a high-quality single-handle bathroom faucet that meets strict compliance standards and installs quickly on standard deck-mount applications.

At the heart of the 23486a0a is the GROHE SilkMove ceramic cartridge. This cartridge provides smooth, precise temperature and flow control with every turn of the handle. A built-in high temperature limit stop adds a layer of safety, reducing the risk of scalding in residential bathrooms and ADA-compliant installations. The faucet stands 9 and 5 eighths inches tall, with an aerator height of 8 and 5 sixteenths inches and a swivel spout reach of 5 inches. The spout can rotate either 150 degrees or a full 360 degrees, giving users the flexibility to direct water exactly where it is needed.

Water efficiency is built into the design. The integrated flow restrictor limits output to 1.2 gallons per minute, earning WaterSense certification and meeting CALGreen and CEC compliance requirements. The GROHE AquaGuide adjustable aerator allows the water angle to be set anywhere between 20 and 40 degrees, helping to eliminate splashing and match the faucet to a wide range of sink bowl depths and configurations.

The hard graphite finish is protected by GROHE StarLight coating, a scratch-resistant surface treatment that preserves a consistent luster over time without special maintenance. Installation is simplified through the GROHE QuickFix Plus mounting system, which reduces time on the job. The package includes 23 and one half inch nylon braided flex supply hoses for a secure, leak-resistant connection to standard supply lines.

This faucet is certified to ADA requirements, NSF 61, ASME A112.18.1, and CSA B125.1, and complies with the Energy Policy Act of 1992. It is a dependable, code-compliant solution for bathroom faucet replacement and new construction alike.
