A one-piece, self-contained ceramic disc valve allows both volume and temperature control. It has a maximum flow rate of 1.8 gallons per minute (GPM), and it meets CalGreeen requirements for kitchen faucets. The spout measure 16-5/8 inches tall and it has a 9-inch reach when the sprayhead is at rest. It's also ADA compliant.

Color Name:Black,Chrome,Stainless Steel
I replaced a poorly-functioning Delta with this faucet. Installation was straightforward and required no special tools (other than a crescent wrench and long-shafted phillips screwdriver to install). The faucet looks beautiful and functions smoothly.
Installation tips: (a) If installing in a three-hole sink, use plumber's putty to hold the baseplate down. (b) Water leaked (copiously) from the control buttons on the spray head, which at first I thought was a defect in the head. I called Kohler and they shipped a replacement to me right away, no problem. Later, I unscrewed the spray head and wrapped the male connection to the spray head with teflon tape and that took care of the leak. (c) There is a rubber washer included with the faucet, but no mention of it in the installation instructions. The parts guide at the back of the instructions booklet shows that it fits underneath the base of the faucet. Slide that washer onto the bottom of the faucet before you guide it into the installation hole.

Color Name:Black,Chrome,Stainless Steel
We recently had installed new 3cm Granite counter tops and wanted only a single penetrating hole to maximize the gorgeous view of the new countertops. We looked at all of the other major brand, single handle, integrated sprayer kitchen faucets on the market, but couldn't find Any that we liked. All were either too bulky, too shiny, large handled, tulip shaped bases with awkward pull out sprayers that didn't feel right or seem to work very well.
Then we discovered the Kohler K-596-VS, an ergonomic all-in-one faucet of beauty that takes Absolutely Nothing away from our stunning granite real-estate from Brazil, but adds a simplistic yet elegant compliment to our remodeled kitchen. The 10 minute installation plus the solid quality and function of its design only enhances the great choice we made. The spray\stream\stop features and ease of the swivel head work flawlessly, as does the diminutive but accurate function of the valve assembly. The brushed Vibrant Stainless finish cleans very easily and matches perfectly with our stainless appliances throughout the kitchen. All of this with a Lifetime Warranty!!
Great Looks, Great Function, Great Product...Thanks Kohler! ;)

Color Name:Polished Chrome
I replaced a cheap Moen kitchen faucet (put in my Palrm Harbor Discovery modular) that just made 1-1/2 years of use with this faucet. I was drawn to the Kohler faucet because of the beauty of its design. The best looking one on the rows upon rows of faucets at the store. I want to get done quick in the kitchen and the sleek design enables a quick job of cleaning the faucet.
I got in a long conversation with a knowledgeable plumber and he said Kohler products had a good history. He said plumbers had advised Moen products over the years because the cartridge was non-functional after a while and the replacement easy to install so the plumber got a call and lots of money for a quick change with the cartridge itself prohibitively expensive costing around $25. He said the Kohler product would last far longer without any repairs, essentially only requiring descaling of the spout. I had to struggle to turn the Moen from one sink to the other and when the plastic ring that was causing the struggle unseated, I had a spray of water. Hence, the need to repair or replace. Given the hourly rate of plumbers, I figured a repair would last only as long as it did the first time, so elected to improve the faucet and replace. The faucet allows the filling of large containers due to the design and it moves with just a light touch. The spray head moves with ease from the fixed position to the moveable positions. I love the faucet. It is the best one I have ever had and makes kitchen work pleasurable and enjoyble.
