Waterworks Henry Lavatory Faucet (HLS101)

What it is

Henry Lavatory Faucet with Cross Handles, style HLS101, is Waterworks’ three-hole lav from the Henry collection — “industry and art,” 19th-century mechanical references without a costume spout. Low-profile tubular spout, two cross handles, brass body, ceramic valves, universal push-touch drain. Official copy: familiar, not cute.

Current offer pricing sits about $2,355 for a stocked metal; trade list moves with finish. Tearsheet facts: spout reach 5-13/16 in (148 mm, low profile); 1.2 gpm (4.5 L/min); ADA; handle spread 8–12 in; deck 5/16–1-9/16 in; fittings hole 1-3/8 in; drain hole 1-1/2 in; quarter-turn handles; 1/2 in male inlets. Stocked in Chrome, Nickel, Brass, and Dark Nickel; the collection also lists gold, copper, and the burnished and matte metals.

This is a three-hole industrial lav, not a single-hole cartridge with jewelry handles.

Who it’s for

Powder rooms and primary lavs that want cross handles and a short, decisive spout — especially in brass on stone that can take the industrial neck. Designers already writing Waterworks who need ADA flow and a documented reach, not a mystery gooseneck.

Skip it if the deck is single-hole, if the client wants levers (that is a different Henry SKU), or if 1.2 gpm feels stingy for a shared primary. Also skip if the spread cannot sit in the 8–12 in window.

Standout details

• Specs that matter: HLS101 · three-hole · brass body · ceramic valves · spout reach 5-13/16 in · 1.2 gpm · ADA · handle spread 8–12 in · offer ~$2,355
• Includes: universal push-touch drain sized for US and Euro openings
• Finishes stocked: Chrome, Nickel, Brass, Dark Nickel — confirm current list before locking a special metal
• Craft signal: cast-and-forged Waterworks language; exposed screw and knurled ring on the handle are the Henry tell
• Tradeoffs: three-hole only; 1.2 gpm is the restricted number, not a preference setting; special finishes add time and money; value is the hold against less expensive industrial-look sets that will pit first

Who’s specifying

Waterworks showrooms and designers who already have Henry on shower and exposed tub — the lav is how the collection lands on the deck. Trade path is the brand, not a marketplace screenshot.

No credited residential install naming HLS101 is used here as proof. Specify from the tearsheet: reach, spread, flow, finish.

Honest verdict

House Score 4 in fixtures: design is a strong yes for the right deck; craft is why Waterworks still gets written; usability is honest (ADA, short reach, restricted flow); durability should match the rest of the line if it is installed like a Waterworks fitting; value is the drag at ~$2,355. Specify HLS101 in brass unless the room is already in nickel or chrome. Do not confuse it with the gooseneck Henry SKUs — the 5-13/16 in reach is the low-profile number.
