Kitchen wall mount faucet
Comments (3)We have a wall-mount in our renovated kitchen and also had one in our old kitchen. I love it and have no problems with the reach, though I also worried about that. (New counters are 25" and old were 22" deep, but I don't notice a difference in reach.) I do like the levers much, much better than the other style handles (cannot for the life of me remember what they're called now...used to know this like the back of my hand!) We had the four-pronged handles on our old faucet and I preferred them aesthetically, but the new faucet came with levers. Intended to swap them out for the handles, but it turned out that levers were so much easier for day-to-day use that we kept them. We have a Chicago Faucets bridge faucet with an arched spout (not gooseneck and not the flat straight out style--not sure if the in-between option has a name). We don't have a sprayer but I can see how that would be handy. Since we've never had one, we don't really know what we're missing. :) The 8" spout on our faucet does have enough reach to clean a 30" sink with no issues, though, which was another worry I had....See MoreKitchen wall mount faucet
Comments (3)You won't have any problems reaching the faucet handles if you are over 5'-2". Good faucet, by the way. Made by Nicolazzi, S.P.A. for Rohl....See Morewall mount vs. countertop mount faucet???
Comments (6)"Look at it this way - should the Karbon be replaced with a different faucet later, it will be easier to patch drywall than to patch Karbon-specific holes in your counter. " Exactly! Go for it. There are, and will be, many other wall-mount fixture options should the Karbon conk out in a decade. (And if you're really truly worried, live with it for a few months to make sure you love it, then pick up a second one on sale somewhere, just in case.) I think the wall-mount version is even cooler, if possible, than the deck-mount. If I had any wall at all above my own sink, it would have been a definite contender....See MoreHelp with wall mount versus counter mount kitchen faucet
Comments (3)The valve is right behind the joystick (single-lever handle). The cartridge is there too, inside the valve body, and it's removable and replaceable once you unscrew the escutcheon (round plate) that the joystick comes out of. Not a big deal. Wall mounts are what they are. It wouldn't worry me. Are you working with copper plumbing? Pex plumbing? CPVC plumbing? Some other kind? They are all good. Use good materials. When in doubt, use the better of two choices. Do a good job. That's all. Sleep tight. I opened the PDF on the Kohler site. The escutcheon is 2-5/8" (6.7 cm) diameter, and it's only 2â³ (5.1 cm) diameter for the valve with single-lever handle. Personally I'd like a One-Inch (1" or less than 26mm) cartridge for my next wall mount project. If anyone knows of one, holler back please....See MoreUser
