Elkay Arezzo Pre Rinse Faucet -- anyone have it?

14 years ago

Hi. Does anyone have this faucet or a similar pre rinse in a main sink? Love the look, saw it in the showroom today and was surprised at how 'close' the head is to the top of the sink. Or, the opening of the sink in the counter, I guess, if you get my meaning. Just wondering if you love the faucet. I loved it but wondered if I would have to push it out of the way to get a pot in the sink and then bring it back every time I wanted to fill one with water. My sink will be large -- 30" single bowl width, 10" bowl height Blanco -- but I still wondered. Any other negatives I haven't considered with this faucet in a main sink? (I do not have a prep sink.)

Thanks.

I'm interested in this faucet as well, to pair with a Kohler Stages 45. Anyone out there with it? I haven't seen it IRL, though . . . .

I'd love to hear more about the Elkay Arezzo as well -- looks gorgeous. Does anyone love a different pre-rinse faucet and want to recommend it instead?

We had one in a bakery for rinsing off sheet pans after washing, there is not enough flow to rinse off rags or mops or to fill buckets in a decent amount of time. I'm talking as the boss here, an employee will stand there for 10 minutes to fill a bucket and think nothing of it.

vwhippiechick - how deep is your sink? We're planning on ordering the Elkay Arezzo pre-rinse faucet (pretty much the same height as the Parma) and a 9 1/2" deep Ticor sink and don't want to have a splash problem. I haven't ordered either yet. Thanks.

A friend has had this faucet for a couple years, the 39", with no problems, I think she's pretty happy with it. Here is a link that might be useful: Ikea Hjuvik

I just bought a giagni pd11-pc faucet to install in our kitchen. We are having granite countertops installed, with an undermount granite composite sink. There won't be a backsplash directly behind the sink area - it is open to the rest of the room. My concern (actually my husband's concern) is that it is a very tall faucet and it will look out of place. Does anyone have experience with this style of faucet or have pictures of one that has been installed? Thank you so much! I've already learned a ton from this forum!

I haven't seen that faucet in person. It is nice-looking, so I went to the Elkay site and looked at the specs and drawings.

That got me confused. Do the spring-flex hose and spray head detach from the horizontal arm, so that the spray head can hang free and be swung around?

I've used a regular (commercial) pre-rinse spray faucet. They are usually much higher than that Elkay, the spring-flex hose hangs freely and can be pushed out of the way. You can add a regular spout too. The link below shows you how high a regular pre-rinse faucet is.

The whole thing swivels as one unit AND the hose/spray head detaches from the horizontal arm and then the head is free. It doesn't pullout anymore, so the amount of slack you have is what you see. But, yes, you can just detach the hose/head from the bar and move the sprayer around.
For me it's a moot point...showed DH pic last night...hated it, actually used the word ugly. We'll be going with either a Kalia or Brizo pull-down, both of which I love also.
