Common Questions Answered

What makes this faucet ideal for bar and prep area installations?

The Alta II is specifically designed for bar and prep area applications where space efficiency and functional performance must coexist. The compact 8.89-inch height allows the faucet to fit comfortably below overhead cabinetry or in tight spaces where standard kitchen faucets would create clearance issues, while the 8.26-inch spout reach provides adequate coverage for bar sinks and compact prep basins. The 360-degree swivel capability ensures you can direct water flow to any area of the sink regardless of configuration, making it equally suitable for round bar sinks, rectangular prep basins, or corner installations. The 1.5 GPM flow rate provides sufficient water pressure for filling glasses, rinsing barware, or washing produce without the excessive flow that would create splashing in smaller sinks. The top-mounted handle operation allows convenient control from above the spout, which is particularly valuable in bar settings where you might be holding glasses or bottles while operating the faucet.

How does the PVD finish compare to standard chrome plating?

The premium PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) metal finish provides significant advantages over standard chrome plating in terms of durability and long-term appearance retention. PVD finishing creates a molecular bond between the coating and the brass substrate that is substantially more resistant to scratching, chipping, and wear compared to traditional electroplated chrome that can flake or peel over time. The PVD process also delivers superior resistance to tarnishing and corrosion from household chemicals, hard water minerals, and daily use, maintaining the lustrous chrome appearance without requiring special cleaners or intensive polishing. This advanced finishing technology means the faucet will retain its original appearance through years of use in demanding bar or prep area applications where frequent contact with liquids and cleaning products would degrade lesser finishes. The low-maintenance characteristics make PVD-finished faucets particularly valuable for busy households or commercial settings where appearance matters but time for maintenance is limited.
