Earlier today I was in Walmart buying some fishing lures and my wife wanted me to get some compact fluorescent bulbs.
On my way through the aisles between the two I found myself walking through the plumbing aisle.
Now it’s been a while since I looked around much in Walmart, I usually just run in and get what I’m looking for.
What I saw amazed me. Faucets! Decent Ones! BernzOmatic trigger start torches! Fluidmaster Fill Valves!
I never realized that they had all that stuff!
I thought they had just a few basic things like plungers, toilet seats, and a few p-traps.
I stopped and checked out the faucets.
Being a plumber I know the difference between good and bad.
They were selling Peerless Faucets!
Peerless isn’t a bad brand. Peerless is a division of Delta Faucets. They aren’t the high end division of Delta like Brizo is but they are solid quality, good looking faucets with a Lifetime Guarantee.
The wild thing is they were selling them at prices that were comparable to what many people pay for a No-Name Chinese Faucet at other stores.
How can you go wrong with a deal like that?
Just look at the deals they were offering!
- Peerless 2 Handle Kitchen Sink Faucet
with Side Sprayer $34.88
- Peerless Single Handle Kitchen Sink Faucet
with Side Sprayer $39.88
- Peerless 2 Handle “Gooseneck” Kitchen Sink Faucet
with Side Spray $54.88
- Peerless Single Handle “Pull Out” Kitchen Sink Faucet

- Peerless 2 Handle Lavatory Faucet
with Acrylic Handles $19.88
- Peerless 2 Handle Lavatory Faucet
with Optional Porcelain Handles 39.88
I was talking with the associate in charge of the hardware section and he told be that’s not all they sell. He told me that On-Line they sell many more brands and even toilets.
When I got home I jumped on the computer and checked it out.
Sure enough! They have Kohler, Toto, Moen, Delta, Chicago Faucet and even Grohe and that all I saw just glancing over the first page of 4,793 results in a search for faucets!
I’m going to have to look into this deeper.
I’ve learned something new today!
