Danze Pull-Out Faucet Features Three-Function Technology

Unique in pull-out faucets, Danze’s new Fairmont 3-Function Pull Out Kitchen Faucet features enhanced functionality in the one room of the home that needs to perform like no other space.

With the simple push of a botton located on the pull-out wand, users can select from three function choices — spray, bubble or pause.

The pause function, in particular, is a convenient alternative that enables users to direct and control the water for in-sink and out-of-sink tasks such as watering a plant or filling a pot. Danze has also engineered this faucet so that the wand can be pulled over 30 inches from the base.

Danze’s Fairmont Collection is styled in the American traditional motif that has proven popular with home owners throughout the years. The new Fairmont pull-out spout kitchen faucet is being introduced in chrome and stainless steel finishes, with additional popular finishes to be available by the middle of the year.

“Convenience and function, seamlessly integrated with on-trend design themes, continue to drive our new product introductions for the kitchen,” said Michael Wurth, Danze’s director of design. “We’re thrilled that we could bring together this three-function technology with our beautifully styled Fairmont design. The combination is sure to elevate any hard-working kitchen seeking a traditional design.”

Like all Danze faucets, the Fairmont pull-out kitchen faucet is constructed of high-quality components, including ceramic disc valves, ensuring some of the best reliability and durability available on the market today, the manufacturer notes.

Added to the brand’s wide array of kitchen and bath faucets, specialty faucets, showerheads and bath accessories, Danze’s product line was recently expanded to include beautifully styled Power Room Collections that feature toilets, bidets, pedestal sinks, premium vanities, vessel sinks and matching mirrors.

Headquartered in Woodridge, Ill., Danze is a member of the National Council of the Housing Industry — The Leading Suppliers of NAHB.
