WOWOW FaucetsQuick Answer
Faucet accessories include aerators, escutcheons, supply lines, cartridges, adapters, side sprays, and soap dispensers. The right accessory depends on your faucet type, finish, thread size, and whether you are repairing or upgrading.
Essential Faucet Accessories
Aerators control flow and reduce splashing. Supply lines connect the faucet to shutoff valves. Cartridges and O-rings are the parts you replace most often when a faucet drips.
How to Choose Compatible Parts
Check the faucet brand, model, thread size, and finish before buying. Universal parts fit many models, but finish-matched trim and brand-specific cartridges often fit better.
Finishes and Materials
Brushed nickel and matte black accessories match modern fixtures. Chrome is the easiest to match. Solid brass and lead-free certified parts last longest.
