Seneca Collection — Coiled Spring Design, Pre-Rinse Sprayer, Three Finishes
The RVF1236 is a single-handle pull-down kitchen faucet from Ruvati's Seneca collection, available in Brushed Gold, Matte Black, and Stainless Steel. It combines the exposed coiled spring of the Seneca line with a pre-rinse style sprayer head — the most fully-featured configuration in the Seneca range. The coiled spring wraps the base of the spout, supporting the detachable sprayer hose and giving the faucet its industrial character, while the pre-rinse head delivers a powerful, targeted spray suited to heavy-use kitchen tasks. At 20-1/4" overall with an 8" spout height and 8-3/4" reach, it has the presence to anchor a larger kitchen sink. The single lever handle swivels 90° forward for tight backsplash installations. Note: the Brushed Gold finish is a different shade from Ruvati's gold composite sinks and does not match — contrasting finish pairings are recommended.
Dual-Function Sprayer, 1.8 GPM, Full Certification
The pre-rinse sprayer head switches between an aerated stream and a powerful spray mode, with soft rubber nozzles that resist mineral buildup and can be wiped clean with a finger. A high-performance ceramic disc cartridge manages temperature and flow reliably, and the solid metal body adds structural weight appropriate to the faucet's scale. At 1.8 GPM, the flow rate meets all US federal and state water efficiency requirements including California CALGreen and Georgia standards. ADA-compliant handle design. Lead-free construction meets EPA Safe Drinking Water Act and California AB1953 requirements. cUPC certified by IAPMO to ASME A112.18.1/CSA B125.1, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372. Massachusetts approved and listed.

Common Questions Answered
Does the coiled spring on the Ruvati RVF1236 affect how the pre-rinse sprayer head performs?
The coiled spring on the Ruvati RVF1236 is a structural component — it supports the weight of the sprayer hose and provides the resistance that allows the hose to retract after use. It does not affect the spray performance of the pre-rinse head itself, which operates independently through the dual-function switch on the sprayer. What the spring does affect is the feel of pulling and returning the hose: the coil tension gives the retraction a more deliberate, controlled motion compared to a standard pull-down faucet where the hose retracts more freely. In practical use, this means the sprayer head stays where you position it more reliably during use, and returns to the spout with consistent resistance each time.
