We bought the kitchen sink and faucet set. Now a year after installing we have a leaky hose near the pull-down sprayer. I removed the hose and took it to Lowe's (where we bought it last year) and Home Depot. Neither could find a replacement hose. I call around a few local plumbing supply stores and they recommended contacting Ruvati company in Texas to get the part number. I had to open a warranty ticket to find out they have no replacement hoses and they do not have any information on parts. Sink, faucets and accessories look good, but with the time I've sunk into trying to find a simple part, I wouldn't recommend anything of theirs. Stay with a company that sells replacement parts for what they sell.

Thanks everyone. I looked at pictures in reviews on Amazon last night of the apron Vault and it looks SO huge, I don’t want to walk in and only see sink. Nice in theory but not for me. I don’t know anyone with a workstation sink-again maybe one of those nice in theory ideas, and not all it’s cracked up to be. Big 30-36” plain old stainless drop in sounds more like the way to go I guess. Easy enough. Elaine, I am of the hodgepodge style, ha! liking certain things from certain styles.

"I don't understand the point of the offset drain? My Kraus sinks do not have offset drains but they have sink grids." @vinmarks - in answer to your question (and anyone else looking at this thread wondering about this), my comments above were referring to an offset corner drain. The term "offset drain" means it is simply not centered in the sink; it is in the back or the corner. Your Kraus KHU100-32 does have an offset drain in the back. There are two advantages to an offset corner drain. One advantage is that it allows you to set down in the sink dishes, large pan, tray without covering the drain. Many people (including me) prefer not to use a sink grid that you mentioned. The second advantage to a corner drain is that under the sink the drain and the disposal (if you have one) is off to one side. This allows a more uninterrupted area for storage under the sink, vs. a drain pipe down the center. So you would have more storage space under the sink, and you won't have to be always peering around one or the other side of the drain pipe to get your cleaning supplies, sponge, pail, garbage bags, etc. that you've stored under the sink.

Here is a sample drawing of kitchen from Lowe’s . Please re-think this layout ... it's a layout designed to cram in AS MUCH CABINETRY AS POSSIBLE! Which, with a huge walk-in pantry just steps away, you don't need. Specifically rethink the island. It's an obstacle which you'll have to walk around constantly. A G-shaped layout (with a peninsula instead of an island) would be more functional in this space. You're not planning on seating at this island, are you? Yes I was planning on 2 faucets also. There is a huge walk in pantry behind the kitchen. Good and good. I was inspired by Our Valley Home and also plan to do 2 side by side induction cooktops. I had already planned and purchased 2 fridges to put side by side What is your reasoning for these duplications? I think you're falling into the mistake of thinking, "I like to cook. My kitchen is important to me; therefore, I need a BIG KITCHEN!" No, you need an efficient kitchen. All this oversized and duplication isn't going to get you to efficient. For example, my mom put in an induction cooktop -- but also a second 2-burner electric cooktop, which she uses only seldom /only for certain pots and pans that can't work on induction; for example, her canner. planned on custom cabinets Akin to the BIGGEST thought process, I fear you're thinking MOST EXPENSIVE is best! This kitchen doesn't look to be unusual in size -- so why go with custom? You can have the same quality for less. Not at Lowes, of course, but with the top-quality manufacturers. The only tricky counters you have are the corners, and you're showing lazy susans in that area -- nothing fancy. You might consider mirrors (instead of glass) for those upper cabinets. They're too high for display anyway, and mirrors will "register with the eye" as glass -- but they'll be cheaper to buy (the interiors won't need to be finished). It’s someone eho doesn’t cook’s movie set. Yeah. Honestly, what I see here is a lot of money -- but not a lot of deep thought about what will really work in the space. Other thoughts: - Think carefully about your window treatments. Those huge windows, so lovely in the daytime, will become big black boxes after dark. - I'd like to see the windows dropped to countertop level. The inspiration picture has much nicer widows than your layout. - Something I dislike in your inspiration picture with the sink lady: the faucets are squished up against the wall -- these would be difficult to clean. You'd have to "floss them". - If you're considering a huge sink under the window, why a prep sink over on the other side of the kitchen with the storage? It looks like you'll do all your prep between the sink and the island -- no point in a prep sink in that location. - What I would consider is a pot filler over the cooktop. I see one in one of your inspiration pictures. - Think carefully too about your lighting -- I don't see any light fixtures yet, but in this space I'd want 1) a lovely chandy with multiple bulbs over the island, 2) several pendants over the sink area, 3) under counter lighting near the cooktop, 4) a canned light above the refrigerator. - Where's your trash can? Do you have a good pathway for taking out trash? Recycling? - Where's your fire extinguisher? - Do you plan to have a microwave? If so, where? - Where will your always-outs go? That is, your coffee pot, your cookie jar, your fruit in a bowl, your cake under a dome?
