Line up the three single-hole versions of Mint on one counter and the drawing does not change. The stature does. The standard faucet carries its spout 4.9 in out over the bowl; the extended one takes it to 6.5 in; the third keeps those 6.5 in and stands tall, where we would look first for a vessel sink. Angeletti & Ruzza drew all three for Fantini from the same primary forms, so you are never choosing between looks. You are answering the sink: its width, its rim, where the drain sits. Standard and extended come with a pop-up drain or without; the tall one ships without.
When a project calls for designer faucets that can be matched to each sink in turn, the lavatory line keeps going past the deck. A wall-mount faucet projects 5.5 or 7.5 in, on escutcheons or a plate. A floor-mount column serves a freestanding sink. A three-hole set is the one lavatory piece with two handles. All of it is brass, finished in Chrome, Matt Black or one of four PVD colors: Matt Gun Metal, Matt British Gold, Matt Copper, Deep Black. So the guest bathroom and the one behind the corner office can share a finish and still get different faucets.
Away from the sink, Mint sorts itself by where the hardware lives. Overhead: square rain heads in brass, or the stainless Acquafit with 125 nozzles, on arms off the wall or the ceiling. In the wall: shower valves with one to three outlets, thermostatic trims run by push buttons, the Hydrospray and Hydrobrush hand sprays by the toilet, a tub spout. On the deck: the bidet faucet and a tub set drilled into the rim. On the floor: a freestanding tub filler, in Chrome or Matt Black. La Mercanti checks the sink you have chosen against the three spout options and writes down the one that clears it.

Fantini ties it to a color standard: Matt Black, finish code 13, is RAL 9005. Having a RAL reference means the black of the faucet can be named in the same terms as the door hardware, the mirror frames or the shower enclosure when those are being specified.
Yes. It is a single-handle column whose outlet sits 7.5 in from the body, sold as two parts: the exposed column and a rough-in that is installed first. No drain comes with it, and it is one of the pieces made in every finish of the collection.
Two, both square: 7.9 × 7.9 in and 9.8 × 9.8 in. Fantini makes them in brass with an anti-scale system and a check valve. Either one mounts on an arm, so the decision goes together with whether the water arrives overhead through the wall or through the ceiling.
The slide bar is 35.4 in long and carries an adjustable slider, so the handshower can be parked at different levels for different people. La Mercanti notes on the shower elevation where the bar starts, so that the tile setter and the plumber work from one drawing.
Yes. The collection lists a wall-mount tub spout that projects 7.9 in, entered in Fantini’s technical manual under its own article. Have its position checked against the rim of the tub you picked before the wall is roughed in.
Every single-hole Mint comes with a small cover plate in the box. Whether you use it depends on one measurement: the diameter of the hole in the sink or countertop.
Open the box before the plumber arrives. Along with the single-hole faucet, Fantini packs a cover plate meant to sit at the base of the body. Set it aside where it will not get lost.
Take the diameter of the hole in the sink or in the countertop, in the finished material. The two ranges that follow sit a few hundredths of an inch apart, so read the measurement that closely.
A hole in this range is covered by the faucet body alone. The plate is not needed: leave it in the box and have the plumber mount the faucet directly on the deck.
Here the plate is required. It goes at the base of the faucet and closes the gap around the body. The same two ranges apply to the Mint bidet faucet, which ships with a plate of its own.
The single-hole models mount on a deck up to 1.6 in thick and connect through flexible supply lines. If the countertop is thicker than that, raise it with the fabricator before the hole is cut.
