Know before you buy
Yes, the Bolden is specifically designed with a compact 18-inch height to fit under most standard kitchen cabinets, making it a great choice for kitchens with limited overhead clearance.
While this model is certified to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 standards, it is a commercial-style kitchen faucet and does not include an integrated water filtration system. These certifications indicate the materials meet strict safety standards for water contact.
The single handle features a 90-degree forward rotation, meaning it only requires a small amount of clearance behind the faucet. This design is ideal for installations where space between the faucet and the backsplash is limited.
Yes, the pull-down sprayhead features Reach Technology, which provides an extended range of motion and flexible hose movement, making it easy to rinse every corner of your sink.
This faucet is compatible with countertops up to 1.5 inches thick. If your countertop is thicker than this, you may need to consider an alternative model or a different mounting configuration.
The sprayhead is equipped with easy-clean rubber nozzles. You can simply wipe them with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge any mineral deposits and maintain a consistent water flow.
