Vibrant® PVD Color Finish
Kohler Co. sets an industry benchmark for faucets with its Vibrant finish. Working at the molecular level, the Vibrant process enables Kohler Co. to produce faucets in a variety of polished and brushed color/finish options. All possess a luster that clearly shines through for the life of the faucet. Kohler Co. employs a state-of-the-art Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process to create the Vibrant finish. The process creates an incredibly strong surface and a remarkably durable finish; one that is resistant to scratching, tarnishing and corrosion.
All KOHLER faucets carry a lifetime limited warranty for as long as the original consumer/purchaser owns his or her home.

Single Lever for Convenience
The K-12172 Fairfax Faucet's single lever makes it easy to operate: simply flip up the lever to turn on the water and move the lever left to right to find the desired temperature. Once you find the right temperature, leave the lever in place and turn the faucet on and off as needed. A high-temperature control lets you preset a maximum setting to eliminate scalding.

This review is from: KOHLER K-12172-CP Fairfax Single Control Kitchen Sink Faucet, Polished Chrome (Tools & Home Improvement) The faucet literally sprayed out the back against the wall. The inside O-ring had a large defect in it, and I had to go purchase an O-ring at a hardware store to keep from damaging my kitchen. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: By dan (texas) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: KOHLER K-12172-G Fairfax Single Control Kitchen Sink Faucet, Brushed Chrome (Tools & Home Improvement) The water comes out at about a 30 degree angle and the handle very easily goes to full-on, so be careful when rinsing things off that you turn on the water and adjust the pressure *before* sticking the bowl or cup under the stream, or you'll find yourself splashed. Otherwise, the faucet is easy to install and appears pretty well-built. Note that the water supply tubes are 18" and not replaceable, so if you need longer tubes you'll need a separate extender. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful: By Mar, NY. (New York) - See all my reviews This review is from: KOHLER K-12172-CP Fairfax Single Control Kitchen Sink Faucet, Polished Chrome (Tools & Home Improvement) This is a beautiful faucet but takes a little time to install. Once installed you will be happy. One thing to keep in mind is to measure your sink. The water comes out slightly pass the drain hole. I do not mind since sometimes it is advantageous so it does not hits on the dishes and then on you! |
