TENZO ALY12-P-XX Tall single hole lavatory faucet with drain, Alyss

Why Vessel Sinks Need a Tall Faucet

Vessel sinks sit on top of the counter. They rise above the surface by several inches. A standard faucet mounted behind them looks short. The spout sits below the sink rim. Water splashes. The proportions feel wrong. The TENZO Alyss tall single hole lavatory faucet fixes that. The tall profile rises to meet the vessel sink. The spout sits above the rim. Water falls into the basin without splashing. The visual balance is restored.

This matters in modern bathrooms in Toronto and Vancouver where vessel sinks are common. It matters in spa-inspired ensuites in Calgary and Edmonton where the sink is part of the design. The Alyss tall faucet completes the vessel sink setup.

Solid Brass That Feels Different

Pick up a cheap faucet. It feels light. It feels hollow. The Alyss is different. Solid brass construction gives it weight. The faucet feels substantial in your hand. The material resists corrosion. It handles temperature changes without weakening. It maintains its appearance for decades.

For homeowners in Halifax and St. John’s where salt air tests every fixture, brass holds up. For bathrooms in Winnipeg and Regina where hard water leaves its mark, brass resists the minerals that damage cheaper materials. The Alyss is built to last.

The Ceramic Cartridge That Keeps Control Smooth

The single handle controls both temperature and flow. Inside, a ceramic cartridge manages the water. Ceramic discs glide against each other without wearing down. Water sediment cannot scratch them. Temperature changes cannot warp them. The handle moves smoothly from the first use to the last. No dripping. No stiffness. No replacement needed for years.

Water Efficiency Without Weak Flow

The Alyss delivers 4.5 liters per minute at 60 PSI. That flow rate meets water efficiency standards. The stream is soft and controlled. The water lands where you aim it. No splashing on the counter. No wasted water running down the drain while you reach for soap. For homeowners in Victoria and Calgary where water restrictions are common, this flow rate keeps you compliant.

What Comes in the Box

The Alyss includes the faucet body and a matching drain. The drain is not a generic afterthought. It matches the faucet finish. It installs cleanly. The pop-up mechanism operates with a simple press. No lift rod behind the spout. No linkage to adjust. The drain seals properly and releases cleanly.

Three Finishes for Three Bathrooms

Polished chrome reflects light and matches standard fixtures. Matte black makes a bold statement against light counters. Brushed gold adds warmth and a designer touch. Each finish uses a multi-layer coating that resists corrosion and tarnishing. The finish looks the same years later as it did on installation day.

What Installation Requires

The Alyss uses a single hole installation. The faucet mounts through one opening in the counter. The tall profile works with vessel sinks and standard sinks. The deck thickness should be confirmed before ordering. The drain installs in the sink drain opening. A licensed plumber familiar with Canadian code can complete the installation.

For a complete vessel sink setup, pair this faucet with a Tall Faucet selection for more height options. For the sink itself, browse our Top Mount Vanity Sink category for vessel sinks that match the tall faucet profile.
