Franke's new solid stainless steel kitchen faucet series features with a contemporary design with an arched spout, flared base, and pin handles. Flow rates as low as 1.75 gallons per minute help users save water. Even better, the more affordable price point puts faucets in the Steel Series in the range of $395 to $595. The Steel Series includes kitchen, bar, and prep faucet models all featuring a pull-down head with a 21-inch hose, and full and needle spray patterns for effective cleaning. Two additional specialty faucets round out the collection. A 9-inch kitchen faucet accommodates lower cabinet clearances and features a pull-out instead of a pull-down head. Busy home cooks will also appreciate the convenience of a pot filler that features a full spray and rotates 180 degrees.

All five faucets in the series are 100% stainless steel in construction, inside and out, with no zinc or lead. The only exceptions to the all-stainless construction are two plastic O-rings and ceramic cartridges. The spray hoses comprise a polyethylene inner core wrapped in smooth, braided nylon mesh. The faucets are uncoated and will wipe free of fingerprints, while withstanding cleaning products. Franke Kitchen Systems. 800.626.5771. franke.com.
