COCOON PB10 Wall Mounted Spout

Some bathroom fixtures scream for attention. The COCOON PB10 wall mounted spout does the opposite: it whispers.
It’s the design equivalent of showing up to brunch in a perfectly tailored white teesimple, confident, and somehow
making everything around it look slightly more expensive.

If you’re researching the PB10, you’re probably in one of two camps: (1) you’re building a minimalist bathroom/kitchen
and want the faucet to look like it belongs in a design magazine, or (2) you’re already deep into a remodel and just
realized that “wall mounted spout” is plumbing code for “decide now, because tile waits for no one.”

What the PB10 Is (and Isn’t)

It’s a wall-mounted spout, not a complete faucet set

The PB10 is the outletthe part that delivers water into your sink (or potentially a tub, depending on your setup).
It is designed to pair with a compatible mixer/valve system inside the wall. In plain English: the PB10 is the stylish
“mouth,” but you still need the “brain and heart” (the valve and controls) behind the wall to make water happen.

Designed by Piet Boon, built for quiet luxury

COCOON’s Piet Boon collection leans hard into clean geometry and durable materials. The PB10 spout is meant to work in
bathrooms or kitchens, and it’s often styled with equally minimal handles so the wall reads as calm, not cluttered.

PB10 Quick Specs

COCOON sells the PB10 as a family of wall-mounted spouts with different projections (how far the spout extends from the wall).
That one choiceprojectionquietly controls whether your sink experience is “chef’s kiss” or “why is water landing on the backsplash?”

• PB 10.0: 130 mm projection (compact, great for smaller basins)
• PB 10.1: 180 mm projection (middle ground for many standard sinks)
• PB 10.2: 220 mm projection (best for deeper/vessel sinks or wider reach needs)
• Material (current listings): AISI 316L stainless steel
• Finishes commonly listed: Brushed Inox, Raw Copper, Black, Gunmetal, Brushed Gold
• Finish tech: PVD coating, plus “nano” anti-fingerprint and antibacterial coating claims on current product pages

A quick reality check: you may see older directories describing the collection differently (for example, some listings
reference AISI 304). If you’re buying today, prioritize the most current COCOON product documentation for the exact material/finish
details of the specific SKU you’re ordering.

Choosing the Right Projection: 130 vs 180 vs 220 mm

Projection is the make-or-break measurement for wall-mounted spouts. Too short, and water hugs the back wall and splashes.
Too long, and water lands too close to the front edge (hello, wet sleeves). The goal is for the stream to land comfortably
inside the bowlusually somewhere around the “sweet spot” between the drain and the back slope of the basin.

PB 10.0 (130 mm): Small sinks, small spaces, big payoff

The 130 mm version is happiest in powder rooms, petite wall-hung sinks, and tight vanity setups where you want the spout to
feel intentionalnot like it’s trying to reach across the room for a handshake.

Example: A narrow guest bath with a compact rectangular basin. The 130 mm projection keeps the stream centered without
projecting over the front rim, and the clean wall mount makes the small space feel less crowded.

PB 10.1 (180 mm): The “most people should start here” option

For many standard undermount and countertop basins, 180 mm is the Goldilocks reach. It typically puts the stream in a good landing zone
without forcing you to choose between “hands directly under the wall” and “waterfall onto the countertop.”

PB 10.2 (220 mm): Vessel sinks and deeper basins

Vessel sinks and deeper bowls often need more projection so water lands far enough into the basin to reduce splash.
The 220 mm version is also helpful if your sink has a thick rear deck or a wide ledge.

Example: A tall vessel sink on a floating vanity. The 220 mm spout helps the stream land inside the bowl rather than
bouncing off the back curve like a tiny indoor fountain show.

Why Stainless Steel Matters (and Why 316L Gets Name-Dropped)

Stainless steel isn’t just a vibe; it’s performance. In wet zones (bathrooms, kitchens), you’re dealing with water, soap residue,
cleaning products, humidity, and sometimes salty air in coastal regions. Stainless steel grades vary, and higher corrosion resistance
generally makes life easier long-term.

316/316L stainless is often chosen for improved corrosion resistance compared with 304 in many environments, thanks to its alloying elements.
That doesn’t mean it’s invinciblechlorides and harsh cleaners can still cause troublebut it’s widely used where durability and corrosion
resistance are priorities.

PVD Finishes: The Secret Sauce Behind “That Finish Still Looks New”

If you’ve ever owned a “matte black” anything and watched it collect fingerprints like it’s a hobby, you’ll appreciate why manufacturers
love talking about PVD (physical vapor deposition). PVD is commonly described as a durable finish process that creates a tough surface
resistant to wear, scratches, and corrosion compared with many traditional plated finishes.

The PB10’s current product descriptions emphasize PVD plus anti-fingerprint and antibacterial coating features. Translation: it’s aiming to be
a “use it daily without babying it” design piece. Still, no finish likes abuseso the maintenance section below matters if you want your
gorgeous spout to stay gorgeous.

Water Flow, Aerators, and the “Fill the Tub Faster” Question

Many basin spouts ship with a water-saving aerator or flow regulator. That’s great for reducing splash and conserving water, especially on sinks.
The U.S. EPA’s WaterSense program, for example, highlights bathroom faucets/accessories designed around lower flow rates to save water without
sacrificing usability.

The PB10 is often described as usable for bathroom or kitchen applications, and some product listings note that for bathtub filling you may be able
to remove a water-saving aerator. That’s a real concept: removing a flow restrictor can increase flowbut the total flow still depends on
your valve, supply lines, and household pressure. Also, many dedicated tub fillers are designed for higher flow (often dramatically higher than
typical sink faucets), so if “fast tub fills” is your primary mission, confirm your overall system design before you assume a basin spout will behave
like a tub filler.

Practical takeaway: if you’re pairing the PB10 with a tub setup, make sure the concealed valve and piping are appropriate for that use case, and verify
local code requirements and manufacturer guidance. Otherwise, keep it in its comfort zone: sinks and basins where controlled flow is a feature, not a bug.

Installation Planning: What to Know Before the Wall Gets Closed

Wall-mounted spouts look effortless because all the complexity is hidden behind the wall. That means the planning has to happen earlyideally before
tile, stone, or fancy wall panels go up.

1) Solid blocking is non-negotiable

Wall-mounted fixtures need structural support behind the wall. In practice, that means proper blocking/cross-bracing so the spout and valve assembly
don’t wobble over time. If you’ve ever used a wobbly faucet, you know it doesn’t feel “luxury.” It feels like “budget hotel that lies on its website.”

2) Rough-in depth and alignment matter

The concealed valve/mixer must be set at the correct depth relative to the finished wall. Too deep and the trim may not fit; too shallow and the trim
may not seal cleanly against the wall. Many manufacturer installation guides emphasize setting rough-in depth carefully and keeping the valve level.

3) Think about height and splash before you commit

The ideal spout height depends on your sink depth and shape. A common planning approach is to ensure enough vertical distance from the outlet to the
sink bottom to reduce splash while still giving room for hands, bottles, or filling tasks. If you’re using a vessel sink, you’ll usually mount the spout
higher than you would for an undermount basin.

4) If this is part of a tub/shower system, mind the spacing rules

For combination tub/shower systems, some installation instructions specify keeping the tub spout a certain distance below the valve to avoid performance
issues (like water unintentionally discharging from the showerhead during tub fill). Even if your PB10 isn’t used as the tub spout, the lesson holds:
plumbing geometry affects performance.

5) Pressure and longevity: don’t ignore the boring stuff

Some technical documentation for similar high-end fixtures recommends using a pressure reducer if static pressure is above a certain threshold.
If your home pressure runs high, that “boring” detail can protect cartridges, seals, and internal components over the long haul.

Bottom line: wall-mounted installs are absolutely doable and can be flawless, but they reward careful planning. If you’re DIY-savvy, this is still one of
those projects where involving a licensed plumber (at least for the rough-in) can save you from expensive wall rework later.

Design Pairings That Make the PB10 Look Intentional

The PB10’s minimalist cylinder form is versatile, but it shines most when the rest of the choices don’t fight it.
Here are a few pairings that consistently work:

• Floating vanity + vessel sink + PB 10.2 (220 mm): modern, airy, and practical reach.
• Compact powder room basin + PB 10.0 (130 mm): small scale, big design impact.
• Stone slab backsplash + concealed mixer: the spout reads like architecture, not hardware.
• Monochrome finish story: black spout + black mirror frame + black accessories = crisp and cohesive.
• Warm metal mix: brushed gold spout with warm lighting and natural wood tones (keep it controlled, not chaotic).

Pro tip: wall-mounted spouts look best when the sink, spout, and handle layout are visually aligned. Even small misalignments become “loud” in minimalist designs.

Maintenance & Cleaning: Keep It Stunning Without Wrecking the Finish

High-end finishes usually fail for one of two reasons: abrasive cleaning or harsh chemicals. If the PB10 finish is PVD-coated (as commonly described),
treat it like the tough-but-not-indestructible surface it is.

• Do: Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water; rinse and dry to prevent water spots.
• Do: Blot dry rather than aggressively scrubbing (especially on darker finishes where micro-scratches show).
• Don’t: Use steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemicals that can damage coatings over time.
• Don’t: Let strong cleaners sit on the surfaceclean, rinse, and dry.

If your water is hard, drying the spout after use sounds extra… until you realize it’s the difference between “always looks new” and “why does my faucet look
like it’s been through a chalk storm?”

Buying Checklist: Make Sure the PB10 Fits Your Project

• Confirm projection (130/180/220 mm) based on sink depth and how the stream will land.
• Confirm valve compatibility and plan handle placement (and service access) before walls close.
• Confirm finish + material on your exact SKU and production year (especially if buying through a reseller).
• Confirm intended use (basin vs tub fill) and whether your system is designed for that flow demand.
• Confirm install details: rough-in depth, blocking, and correct alignment for the finished wall thickness.

Conclusion

The COCOON PB10 wall mounted spout is one of those fixtures that looks simple because a designer worked very hard to make it so.
Pick the correct projection, pair it with the right concealed valve, and plan the rough-in like your tile depends on it (because it does).
Do that, and the PB10 delivers the exact brand of “quiet luxury” it promiseswithout turning your daily hand-wash into a splash zone.

Real-World Experiences Related to the COCOON PB10 Wall Mounted Spout

In real remodels, wall-mounted spouts tend to create two kinds of stories: the “wow, this feels like a boutique hotel” story and the
“we had to open the wall again” story. The difference usually isn’t the spoutit’s the planning.

One common experience is that homeowners underestimate how much projection changes daily comfort. People often choose the 130 mm option
because it looks the most minimal on paperthen realize their basin is deeper or shaped in a way that makes the water land too close to the back wall.
When that happens, splash shows up in weird places: along the backsplash line, around the sink edge, and sometimes on your shirt if you’re washing hands
like a normal human and not like a museum conservator. The fix is simple in theory (choose a longer projection), but not simple after tile is installed.
The lesson: mock up the reach before you commit. Even a cardboard template held against the wall can save you from the “why is my faucet shy?” problem.

Another experience comes from finish expectations. “Anti-fingerprint” is a wonderful phraselike “calorie-free dessert” or “free shipping with no fine print.”
In practice, it means the finish is less likely to show smudges, not that it lives in a magical cleanliness bubble. People who love the PB10’s darker
finishes (black or gunmetal) often discover they look best when you adopt a simple routine: quick wipe with a soft cloth, then dry. That’s it.
No special potions. No aggressive scrubbing. Just a tiny habit. The payoff is huge because minimalist fixtures are basically stage lighting for your bathroom:
any water spot, smudge, or scratch reads like it’s under a spotlight.

On the installation side, a frequent “good story” is how much counter clutter disappears when the faucet moves to the wall. People with tight vanities love
the extra usable spacesoap bottles stop bumping the faucet base (because there is no base), and wiping down the countertop becomes a single swipe instead
of a careful dance around faucet hardware. In small bathrooms, that one shift can make the whole room feel calmer.

The “open the wall again” stories almost always trace back to rough-in depth, alignment, or access planning. If a concealed valve is set too deep, trim can
sit awkwardly or not seal well. If blocking isn’t sturdy, the spout can feel slightly loosesubtle at first, then increasingly annoying. And if service access
isn’t considered, a simple future repair can turn into a drywall event. Homeowners who have the best long-term experience usually do two things: they work with
a plumber who’s comfortable with wall-mounted fixtures, and they insist on a clear plan for serviceability before the wall is closed.

Finally, there’s the “design coherence” experience. The PB10 looks best when it’s treated like part of the architecture. People who pair it with a similarly
minimal handle set, align it thoughtfully over the drain, and keep the surrounding accessories simple often say the same thing months later:
“It still makes me happy every time I walk in.” That’s the real test of a luxury fixturewhether it keeps earning its place long after the novelty wears off.
