Deck Mounting Makes Pot Filler Unique

Danze has added a unique deck-mount pot filler for the kitchen to its popular Victorian-inspired Opulence Collection.

Headquartered in Woodbridge, Ill., Gerber Plumbing Fixtures – Danze is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Supplier 100 of NAHB.

Danze’s new deck-mount pot filler offers an alternative to wall-mounted pot fillers that require plumbing behind the stove wall. Installed on the counter surface and plumbed from below with a cold water line, pot fillers can not be installed on island-mounted stoves as well. The product also provides a more cost-effective way to add a pot filler into an existing kitchen, because there is no need to tear out a wall to install it.

The Opulence pot filler features an articulated arm that extends up to 22 inches from the base and folds neatly out of the way when it is not being used. Elegantly styled, it is available in a variety of popular finishes, including Chrome, Antique Copper, Satin Black, Oil Rub Bronze and Stainless Steel.

Danze is a leading manufacturer and marketer of premium decorative plumbing products. Its product line includes kitchen and bath faucets, specialty faucets, showerheads, shower arms and bath accessories.
