Ruvati RVF5136 Este Single-Handle Tall Vessel Bathroom Faucet

Este Collection — Single-Handle, Single-Hole, Built for Vessel Sinks

The RVF5136 is a tall single-handle bathroom faucet from Ruvati's Este collection, designed specifically for vessel sink installations where a standard-height faucet would sit too low to be functional. At 11" overall with a 9" spout height and 6-1/2" reach, the spout clears the rim of most vessel basins and delivers water to the center without requiring the user to reach under a low arc. A single lever controls both temperature and flow from one hole in the vanity deck — a cleaner installation than a 3-hole widespread and a practical choice for vessel sink vanities that are typically drilled for a single hole. Available in Brushed Nickel and Matte Black, both finishes are treated to resist water spots and fingerprints.

Ceramic Disc Cartridge, ADA-Compliant, 1.2 GPM

Inside the RVF5136, a high-performance ceramic disc cartridge handles temperature and flow control with long-term reliability. The solid metal body adds structural rigidity, and the removable aerator delivers 1.2 GPM — meeting all US federal and state water efficiency requirements including California CALGreen and Georgia standards. The handle design is ADA-compliant, and all materials meet or exceed federal and state lead-free requirements under the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Act and California AB1953. cUPC certified by IAPMO to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372. Massachusetts approved and listed.

Common Questions Answered

Can I use the Ruvati RVF5136 to replace a widespread faucet on my existing vanity?

The Ruvati RVF5136 requires a single hole in the vanity deck — it is not compatible with a 3-hole widespread configuration without modification. If your current vanity has three holes (one for each handle and one for the spout), you would need to cover the two outer holes with a deck plate or replace the vanity top to use the RVF5136. Conversely, if your vanity has a single pre-drilled hole — common in vessel sink installations — the RVF5136 installs cleanly without adapters or cover plates. Before purchasing, confirm your vanity's hole configuration: a single hole makes this a straightforward swap, while a 3-hole setup requires additional planning.
