We installed a $300 Pegasus Faucet in 2005. Last week (while on
vacation) the connector for the cold water apparently failed and
caused $60,000 damage to the house.

1. The plumber indicates that the wire-weave risers are both not
typical of quality faucets, and not as reliable as typical copper
risers.

I haven't opened the package for every faucet ever made, but I've installed
a few faucets, and none of them came with risers. I had to provide them. If
they failed, I wouldn't have blamed the faucet manufacturer.

The connector you mentioned - is it part of the riser, or part of the faucet
itself?
