looking for laundry facet

[mibella]

Hi I hope someone can help me find this, I am looking for a utility sink facet with the washing machine hookups on it. We used to have one when I was kid but I haven't seen them in a while do they still exist, or do I have to piece something together?
Any input would be helpful, Thanks!

Did the faucet look like this?

It had the two hose bibs for the washer hoses too. A very long time ago.

...hmmph...

Was the faucet cast brass as shown (did I get close)?

Say the bibs were included in the casting or could they have been plumbed remote and appear as one casting?

One photo shows the bibs mounted remote and the second is a shut-off valve. Anything close?

I am fascinated from some strange reason by antique plumbing...

 

[nealtw]

I trhink it was like your first photo with the the two taps just above, mostly one casting,, but I have been wrong before, 60 years have gone by.

Most likely (unless I am wrong and/or cannot find what you are describing), a tee(s) is plumbed in right above the faucet to accept hose bibs.

Now correct me if I am wrong. There may well be (or was) such a specialty faucet as your are describing.

frodo is old. Maybe he can remember the old days... :rofl:

Wow thanks guys I didn't think I would get such a response.
So more specifics
It would need to be wall mounted faucet
and the one we had had the hose bibs for the washer inline toward the rear in between the shut off and the faucet, now I don't know if it was one unit or not. But it sure looked to be one piece.
And it was a rough piece I don't think it was brass.

 

[nealtw]

It was brass or chrome plated brass if it was old. We haven't been able to find anything like that so yoiu will be doing a little plumbing for the washer taps.

...hmmph...

I thought frodo had found the single spigots and that is what you wanted Sorry...

Was this a laundry sink you remember or possibly a utility sink?

Look at how this one is plumbed in. You would have to install fittings for hose bibs.

ok so whats the difference between a laundry and a utility sink?

not brass or chrome it was like galvanized pipe rough unfinished. So I don't mind doing a little plumbing work. I just don't want it to look like it an idiot did it. I'm not exactly sure what pieces I should put together.
It comes through the sheetrock wall in the basement, I would like to have the shut offs before the laundry hookups, do they make straight shut offs like that?

Think of it as an overgrown laundry sink as found in restaurants, schools and office buildings. They were even used in larger homes/mansions.

There are also scullery and mop sinks just to add a little to the confusion...

If the wall is sheetrocked, what about the faucet I showed above the laundry sink and a laundry supply/waste box behind the WD?
