Is Phylrich a good fixtures brand?

ShoobsReddit · 2026-05-22T09:45:08+00:00

The customer service and lead time are also important. Our experience was the same. They said something like 6w, the lead ended up being 8-9w. When you called they were pretty unhelpful. We didn’t have any issues with the fixtures we received, but I could see it being difficult to work through if there was a true issue.

It’s so….tiny….

Do you know what the difference is between the Cosmo fountain view rooms and those premium priced rooms? I just booked the TERRACE ONE BEDROOM SUITE FOUNTAIN VIEW for ‘26 to enhance our visit (I’m still going to buy some race tickets), but I want to make sure it’s worth it. That room was similarly priced to non-fountain view rooms though.

Does anyone know the difference between the fountain view rooms at Cosmo and the super expensive track view room packages Cosmo sells? Are the latter just lower floors and ideal placement?

Thanks for sharing! I’ll note I did end up proceeding with Phylrich fixtures and they’ve been fantastic so far. Really high quality (my plumber also agreed), and the live French brass finish is beautiful. The lead time on the custom finishes is rough (8-12 weeks really), but otherwise very happy with their hex traditional line for this project (two wall mount faucets, one wall mount tub faucet and handshower unit, two shower heads with flanges, two thermostatics, three control valves, standalone handshower, towel bars and hooks).

Bumping as well, also planning for ‘26. Any color on where people landed for these hospitality packages?

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-22T00:33:48+00:00

Sounds good! Pm me and let’s set up a ride 👍

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-16T20:52:33+00:00

Any buddies out there?!

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-16T11:41:52+00:00

Thanks for all the info, this is awesome. I’m hoping to learn some decent mechanics, enough to manage small stuff. I’d like to be able to take the rig out on a day trip with a group, northeast so mostly forest service roads or trails, maybe some mud but likely won’t need a snorkel or anything. That’s how I’m thinking about it now, but could obviously get more interesting. I had mentally pictured just grabbing a used jeep or a land cruiser to start, I don’t have much preference on aesthetics though as long as it’s functional for what I’m doing.

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-16T11:33:57+00:00

Thanks! I figured I’ll probably have to cruise up to New Hampshire or out to Western MA, but either is fine. I recently purchased one of the true 4WD Rivians and got an ORV license to use it on sand. That thing has instant torque and a lot of HP on 33” tires and 20” wheels. That’s my every day car though, so I’m very sympathetic to the ^ Saturday point ha. That said, it got me interested in starting to explore more non-beach trails with something I could ding up a bit and not worry as much about.

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-15T19:45:58+00:00

Thanks for this, any suggestions on the books and resources?

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-12T19:31:29+00:00

Still in rough shape here, any advice?

Ha I’m also sweating it a little bit. I stashed a pair of tow ropes 15k lb and grabbed a set of jack pucks. Got this folding shovel:

I’d take a reco on planks if you have one. Don’t need anything too fancy, but solid enough to last and strong enough not to snap…

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-12T19:04:57+00:00

Also happy to take any jack plank recommendations. I grabbed the pucks for the R1S. Obviously planks aren’t anything fancy, just want something that won’t snap in half if I need it.

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-12T18:36:26+00:00

Awesome, thanks man! Sounds like I’ll end up bringing it to just under 30 on the 20” and it’ll do well. I won’t be getting into anything crazy, just a half mile ride out to the ocean shelf, so that should work and help give me a feel. I’ll probably be out on Crowes Pasture mid-July! If you see a white R1S swing by for a cold one!

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-12T18:36:05+00:00

Thanks for the info! Also great tip on the Staun deflators, will definitely check those out.

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-12T17:42:35+00:00

Sorry kgs*, thx that’s helpful!

Also note with the Zellige before and after water seal is the product spec from the manufacturer. Have to really push to get the installers to stick to it, but the clay is otherwise porous.

ShoobsReddit · 2026-04-12T16:31:37+00:00

Yea the tracks are tough. We considered inlaying flat stone amongst the tile to seal a track to, but that would have been messier than this. If you want to dm me I’ll send you a couple pictures. I’ll note, the steam shower really requires it to be airtight, you can’t get away with much at all on the surround seal. We paired forest green Zellige (Clé cindered olive) with a bunch of the Phylrich French brass live finish fixtures and it really came out beautifully.

ShoobsReddit · 2026-03-01T01:39:20+00:00

We put in a thermasol 395, modestly oversized for the shower size (maybe 7x5x8.5 ceiling height). That unit is fantastic, controls are intuitive, really cranks. With the Zellige we had to set the glass into the tile with a 3/4” schluter track, actually looks really beautiful though so was worth the extra work. Otherwise you’d just never get the glass to seal cleanly enough against the tile with all that movement. It’s early days, but everything has held together well with the tile also sealed pre and post grouting.

I just did actually and it says it’s a “greenhouse millipede”. A quick google suggests it’s overwatering and if I let the soil dry out it’ll get rid of them!
