TENZO DE11 SINGLE HOLE LAVATORY FAUCET

The Drain Is Not Missing. It Is Optional.

Most faucets arrive with a drain included. You open the box. The drain is there. You install it. You move on. The TENZO DE11 works differently. The faucet body arrives without a drain. This is not an oversight. It is a design choice. Some homeowners already have a drain they like. Some have a sink with a specific drain requirement. Some prefer to choose a drain that matches their finish or their style. The DE11 gives you that freedom.

This matters in renovation projects where the existing drain is still in good condition. It matters for homeowners who want to coordinate the drain finish with other bathroom hardware. It matters for anyone who does not want to pay for a drain they will not use. The DE11 respects your decisions.

Solid Brass That Feels Substantial

The DE11 is made from solid brass. This is not a plastic body with a metal coating. It is solid brass from the inside out. Brass resists corrosion from water exposure. It handles temperature changes without weakening. It maintains its structural integrity for decades. The weight feels substantial in your hand. The finish resists tarnishing. The faucet looks as good in year ten as it did on installation day.

The Ceramic Cartridge That Keeps Working

Inside the faucet body, a ceramic cartridge controls 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. The cartridge is identified as CAR-SDL-SL35-01. That specificity matters. It means the part is available if service is ever needed.

The 1.2 GPM Flow That Balances Efficiency and Comfort

The DE11 delivers 4.5 litres per minute at 60 PSI. That is 1.2 gallons per minute. The 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 Calgary and Edmonton where water conservation matters, this flow rate keeps you compliant without sacrificing comfort.

The Connection That Matches Canadian Plumbing

The DE11 uses a female 3/8-inch connection. This matches standard Canadian plumbing. No adapters. No special fittings. The faucet connects directly to the water supply. The installation is straightforward for a licensed plumber or experienced DIYer. The faucet is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. That tells you something about the construction. The solid brass. The ceramic cartridge. The company expects this faucet to last. The warranty confirms it.

Where the DE11 Belongs

The DE11 works in powder rooms, guest bathrooms, master ensuites, and condo renovations. The single hole design keeps the vanity clean. The solid brass construction ensures durability. The no drain option gives you flexibility. The three finish options cover different design directions.

To complete the bathroom, consider a Bathroom Accessories selection for coordinating towel bars and robe hooks. For the sink area, browse our Vanity Sinks category for basins that work with the single hole configuration.
