Ruvati RVF1238 Seneca Single-Handle Pre-Rinse High-Arc Kitchen Faucet in Stainless Steel

Seneca Collection — Pre-Rinse Style, High Arc, Stainless Steel

The RVF1238 is a single-handle pull-down kitchen faucet from Ruvati's Seneca collection, available exclusively in Stainless Steel. It takes the industrial character of the Seneca line further with a pre-rinse commercial style — a tall high-arc profile at 22" overall that draws from the aesthetic of professional kitchen equipment. The 20" detachable sprayer head can be pulled down into the basin or directed wherever needed, and the 9-1/3" spout reach covers a wide sink area. The Stainless Steel finish coordinates directly with Ruvati stainless steel sinks and fixtures. The single lever handle swivels 90° forward for installations close to the backsplash.

Dual-Function Sprayer, 1.8 GPM, Full Certification

The sprayer 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

What does "pre-rinse style" mean for a home kitchen faucet?

Pre-rinse is a term borrowed from commercial kitchen equipment, where a dedicated pre-rinse unit is mounted above the sink to spray dishes before they go into a dishwasher. In a home kitchen context, a pre-rinse style faucet like the RVF1238 adopts the tall, upright silhouette and detachable sprayer head of that commercial format — giving you a longer reach and a more powerful spray position than a standard pull-down faucet — without the commercial-grade plumbing requirements. The 22" overall height and 9-1/3" reach reflect that extended-reach design intent. It is a fully standard residential faucet that installs in a single deck hole like any other kitchen faucet in the Ruvati lineup.
