VIGA 361100LWC Chrome Handle Basin Faucet and Pop-Up Drain Buying Guide

For hotel bathroom packages, distributor ranges and contractor purchases, a chrome handle basin faucet and pop-up drain need to work with the selected basin and vanity. Define the faucet configuration, drain mechanism and supplied components before approving samples or placing a bulk order.

Review the original model configuration

The original introduction, published on 14 May 2019, identifies VIGA model 361100LWC as a contemporary bathroom basin mixer with the following listed features:

• Single-hole, deck-mounted installation with one handle.
• Brass material and a ceramic valve core.
• Hot and cold water mixing.
• Polished surface treatment, with color options described as chrome/white and chrome/black.

These details provide a historical reference for identifying the product. Request the approved datasheet for the version being quoted, including its exact finish arrangement and component materials. The article title mentions a pop-up drainage assembly, but the specification list does not establish the contents of the supplied package.

Assess this configuration for bathroom vanities requiring manual hot and cold water control. For broader selection questions, see the single-handle brass basin faucet specification guide.

Match the faucet to the basin and vanity

A low or short spout is not automatically suitable for every basin. Compare the proposed faucet drawing with the actual basin profile so users have enough washing space and the water stream reaches an appropriate part of the bowl.

• Mounting interface: Confirm the required hole diameter, permitted deck thickness and fixing arrangement. For a basin with additional holes, request an approved solution for the complete layout.
• Spout position: Check outlet height, reach and stream direction against the basin rim and bowl shape. Use a representative assembly to assess splash during normal use.
• Operating clearance: Review the full handle movement near the backsplash, mirror ledge or adjacent fittings.
• Access below the deck: Check room for the fixing hardware, supply connections and any drain linkage, including future servicing.
• Water connections: Obtain connection sizes, hose details if supplied, and documented operating pressure and temperature limits for comparison with the project services.

Coordinate these checks with the project installer. The basin mixer installation checklist provides related fit and connection planning topics; the selected model’s documentation should govern installation.

Specify the pop-up drain separately

Treat the drain as a defined component of the purchase. The source discusses lift-rod operation, but it does not clearly establish which drain mechanism accompanies model 361100LWC. Ask whether the quotation includes a lift-rod-operated drain, a press-operated drain or another documented design.

• Basin interface: Confirm the basin waste opening and clamping requirements against the drain drawing.
• Overflow configuration: Establish whether the basin has an overflow and request the corresponding manufacturer-approved drain configuration.
• Outlet connection: Check the drain outlet interface against the specified trap and available space inside the vanity.
• Actuation: For a lift-rod design, review rod travel, rear clearance and the linkage path. For a press-operated design, assess access to the stopper.
• Package contents: List the drain body, stopper, seals, fastening parts and any linkage individually. Confirm their materials and visible finishes.

These checks help prevent a visually coordinated faucet and drain from arriving with incompatible connections or missing operating parts.

Approve a sample as a complete assembly

Review the proposed faucet and drain with a representative basin before accepting the combination for a project or stock range. Agree on inspection criteria and record the accepted sample configuration.

• Compare visible finishes under consistent lighting, checking for scratches, pits, uneven coverage and mismatched faucet and drain colors.
• Check handle movement for binding, inconsistent resistance or excessive looseness against the agreed sample criteria.
• Have the assembly evaluated under documented operating conditions for leakage, shutoff, mixing response and splash.
• Check that the drain opens, closes and retains water as required by the agreed inspection procedure, and that accessible parts can be removed for maintenance.

Surface brightness and tapping sounds do not establish material composition or durability. Request material documentation and relevant performance evidence tied to the exact model where the purchasing specification requires them.

Control repeat orders, packaging and maintenance parts

Record the model, finish code, faucet configuration and drain version on the purchase order. Keep the approved drawing revision, component list and sample reference together so later shipments can be compared with the same requirements. Require proposed component or finish changes to be reviewed before supply.

Agree on packaging that protects visible surfaces and keeps small drain parts together. Carton identification should distinguish finish variants and show whether the drain is included, reducing sorting errors at a distributor warehouse or project site.

Request part references and availability information for the valve core, outlet insert where fitted, drain stopper, seals and linkage. Obtain model-specific cleaning and maintenance instructions for the selected finish.

Prepare a clear quotation request

Include model 361100LWC as the historical reference, the required finish, order quantity, basin and vanity drawings, supply connection requirements and the intended drain mechanism. Ask the quotation to identify all included components, exclusions, sample arrangements and supporting documentation.

Use the VIGA quotation enquiry form to submit these requirements and request confirmation of the proposed configuration and availability.
