A plumber is trying to install this faucet that I bought many years ago. The supply tubes that screw into the bottom of the faucet are missing. They must have a 7/16" or 11mm male end. American Standard, who sold Porcher (now out of business) has been no help on this.

Normally, they would have an "O" ring seal where they screw in and would be specific to that faucet. If so, you would have to find a parts company that could supply them, assuming they still exist.

it would not have come with supply tubes. it would have come with 2 adapters to change from European thread to American thread.

I believe they are either referring to hoses between the valves and spouts, or flexible lines hanging from the valve to connect with the lines from the angle stops. The "adapters" were typically used between the faucet supply lines and supply lines from the angle stops, NOT at the valve itself.

Installation diagram shows 2 -3/8"od copper tubes extending from bottom of faucet. Compression fittings are provided for these for connection to 1/2" ips flex supplies or 3/8" bull nose risers.
Copper suppply tubes are the missing parts.

if this is what you are looking for, there must be thousands of them out there
3/8 x 12 chrome lav supplies...

How about a copy of the installation pictures. The 3/8" supply tubes are probably threaded in to the valve body.

This shows the tubes which are screwed into the bottom of the faucet.

part #1 (supply adapters) are available from Am. Std.

part #2 (the actual faucet supply tubes) should have been factory installed and, unfortunately, may not be available

Supply tubes are not available from American Standard. Tubes have no part number. Have found no other source.

There are supply tubes, with bare ends, that are factory attached to the faucet. They provide compression adapters, that compress onto the bare supply tubes and adapt the tubes to a standard 1/2" pipe faucet thread.

The adapter part number is - 028587-0040A

A google search found 1 seller of the adapter.

If the tubes are copper, can your plumber swedge them to 7/16"OD tube or solder 1/2"OD copper over them?

Thanks Steve. I have the adapters and am missing the copper tubes.Maybe I can have these made.

Very unlikely, and if possible, it will probably cost more than a new faucet.

If the housing thread is 7/16 fine(24tpi) a ¼" bulkhead connector might work(there might not be enough circumferential room for the 2 connectors and whatever holds the faucet to the sink. The inlet to the connectors is ¼ OD, but with water conservation measures now, it might not make that much difference in what exits the spout. As already stated, there usually is an o-ring to seal an original tube connection like that, but a flat sealing washer with the bulkhead connector should seal ok.

Thanks Steve. Will pursue this possibility.

There may not be a "flat surface" to seal against inside the faucet. They usually drill a hole and then tap it for the supply line and the "O" ring makes the seal in the bore.

I removed a Price Pfister widespread lavatory faucet today and the valves are connected to the spout with these hoses. One end is 1/8" straight pipe with an o-ring seal and the other end is 3/8" compression. 1/8" pipe is bigger than 3/8" and smaller than 7/16". These hoses are not under pressure all the time, like you need, but I would think they should be able to maintain constant pressure. Maybe use "flood safe" supply hoses with them?
