Athena Collection — Sintered Stone Inlay, Fluted Knobs, Three Finishes
The RVF5232 is a two-handle widespread bathroom faucet from Ruvati's Athena collection, available in Brushed Gold, Brushed Nickel, and Matte Black. The defining detail is the sintered stone inlay set into each fluted metal knob handle — a material and texture combination that distinguishes the Athena from every other faucet in the Ruvati lineup. At 11" overall height with an 8" spout height and 6-3/4" reach, it is the tallest Ruvati widespread faucet and is well suited to vessel sinks and deep undermount basins. The 3-hole widespread configuration supports flexible handle spacing from 8" to 15" center-to-center, accommodating a wider range of vanity drilling configurations than a fixed-spread faucet. Note: the Brushed Gold finish does not match Ruvati's gold composite sinks — contrasting finish pairings are recommended.
Adjustable Handle Spacing, Ceramic Disc Cartridge, Full Certification
The 8" to 15" adjustable handle spread is a practical advantage for vanities with non-standard hole spacing or for custom installations where the handles need to be positioned further apart than a standard 8" widespread allows. Inside, a high-performance ceramic disc cartridge manages temperature and flow reliably, and the solid metal body adds structural weight. The removable aerator delivers 1.2 GPM, meeting all US federal and state water efficiency requirements including California CALGreen and Georgia standards. Lead-free construction meets EPA Safe Drinking Water Act and California AB1953 requirements. cUPC certified by IAPMO to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372. Massachusetts approved and listed.

Common Questions Answered
What is sintered stone and how does it hold up in a bathroom environment?
Sintered stone is a manufactured material made by compressing and heating natural minerals — typically quartz, feldspar, and silica — under extreme pressure without binders or resins. The result is a dense, non-porous surface that resists water, staining, and scratching better than natural stone. In a bathroom faucet handle, the sintered stone inlay is primarily a design element, but the material's durability means it won't absorb soap residue, water minerals, or cleaning products the way a porous natural stone would. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and does not require sealing or special treatment.
