When choosing a sink faucet, it’s no longer an issue of mere utility; it’s also an issue of design. Kitchen sink faucets have grown up from the simple, chrome fixtures of our youth into studies of character, depth and exquisite accents. With folks taking exceptional pride in their homes as a reflection of themselves, interior design has taken a solid stand. This is particularly true in the kitchen.
To address the wants and needs of today’s discriminating consumer, many top brands have gone beyond the utilitarian function of sink faucets and have begun to place emphasis on their design. One of today’s affordable, contemporary top-brands–Pegasus faucets–has addressed this need in fine form. Here are three prime examples of Pegasus sink faucets where form follows function, simply yet elegantly.
The Pegasus K300 Series Faucet
The K300 Series Faucet instantly brings style and elegance to any kitchen dcor, with its two spray modes head and chrome styling.
Easily installed, this functional, single-hole, single-handle Italian beauty boasts a dual-mode spray head swivel spout. The K300 is Energy Star compliant and includes a built-in water filter. This swivel base pull-out chrome faucet also includes 2 spray modes, solid brass waterways, and a drip-free ceramic disk cartridge.
Some who’ve purchased the K300 provide rave reviews:
“We like the attractive styling and industrial feel. The whole faucet has good heft to it and looks to be made of good materials. The single faucet lever is easy to operate and the faucet arm swings over both of our sinks. You can detach the sprayer from the arm if you want to point it in another direction.
Lately, the chic, industrial design of this professional-use faucet style is highly acclaimed for its ability to allow you to pinpoint the water spray exactly where it needs to go. For those who appreciate the clean European styling of Pegasus and want to get the industrial functionality of a sprayer-style faucet, the Pegasus K300 offers a nice solution.
The Pegasus PE8526008SS Deco Bridge Sink Faucet
If traditional design is your preference, then the Deco Bridge Sink Faucet may be right up your alley. This two handle faucet features four-hole installation with lever handles and matching spray. As with all two-handle faucets, having separate hot and cold taps provides you with accurate control to mix the desired water temperature.
Features include:
* 1/2 inch IPS inlets
* 13.37 inch spout height
* 10.87 inch aerator clearance
* 9.75 inch spout reach and 1.62 inch maximum deck thickness.
The Pegasus PE8526008SS Deco Bridge sink faucet is also available in a stainless steel finish.
The Pegasus PEUSPW5668YE
The Pegasus PEUSPW5668YE Kitchen Faucet is constructed of metal, has loop style handle, pullout spout and hydro lock quick connect installation. The temperature is controlled by 180 degree arc of handle travel, and the spout rotation is 145 degrees. It will operate with less than 5 pounds of force and the faucet operates in stream or spray mode in the pullout or retracted position.
This fine addition to the Pegasus sink faucet family features 1225 cartridge design made of nonmetallic/nonferrous and stainless steel material, which is available in various finishes. The backflow protection system in this faucet consists of two independently operating check valves, a primary and a secondary which prevent backflow.
Whether you prefer the industrial functionality of the K300 or the country-home look of the Deco Bridge sink or the clean, simple lines of the single-hole, single-handle Pegasus PEUSPW5668YE, you’ll agree that sink faucet design has matured over the past few years. You now have a choice to express your personality in the kitchen with faucet fixtures that match your personality and style, and provide functionality for years to come.
