Price-Pfister Introduces New Line of Kitchen Pull-Down FaucetsDistinctive High Arc Spout Design Delivers Style and Functionality

    Lake Forest, CA - October 2006 - Price Pfister merges the beauty and practicality of a high-arc spout design with the convenience of a pull-down faucet. Equipped with a revolutionary new "anti-splash" feature, these kitchen faucets satisfy a wide array of decorating needs. Available in the Hanover™, Treviso™ and Ashfield™ Collection, each of the high-arc, pull-down kitchen faucets deliver unique traditional styling, maximum functionality at an affordable price point, and innovative spray technologies.

    The Treviso T529 Series is available in either a Chrome or Stainless finish.

    Price Pfister's new lines of pull-down kitchen faucets are the first to be equipped with its ergonomic sprayhead that includes an innovative 'anti-splash' spray volume control. This allows users to adjust spray volume to a desired pressure level between 20 and 100 percent. The sprayhead also lets homeowners toggle easily between spray and stream modes.

    Equipped with 360-degree swivel spouts that permit custom handle positioning, the Hanover™, Treviso™ and Ashfield™ single-control, kitchen pull-down faucets each incorporate a 75-inch nylon hose with ball swivel spray connection that allows for maximum flexibility. Plus, longer levers on the single-handle design provide users a better grip and improved access.

    Best of all, Price Pfister has incorporated a new, smaller diameter, 25mm ceramic disc valve on three of its four faucet configurations giving it a slimmer, more aesthetically pleasing body design without compromising flow rate.

    "These new pull-down faucets in our successful Hanover™, Treviso™ and Ashfield™ families offer consumers a revolutionary new type of spray control that is not available on competitive products," said Eric Lundquist, Director, Brand Marketing for the Black & Decker Hardware and Home Improvement Group. "They are ideal for homeowners who wish to upgrade their current fixtures or who want an upscale-market option with the latest technology and flexibility that single control faucets can deliver."

    Tuscan Bronze offers the perfect solution for consumers who prefer a warm finish and appreciate the look of a hand-crafted piece.

    The Treviso™ T529 Series is available in either a Chrome or Stainless finish, while the Hanover™ T526 and T529 Series are available in a Chrome, Stainless or distinctive Oil-Rubbed Bronze finish. The Ashfield™ Collection is available in Chrome, Stainless, Oil-Rubbed Bronze as well as Price Pfister's Rustic Bronze™, Rustic Pewter™ and Tuscan Bronze™ handcrafted finishes.

    All Price Pfister products are backed by the Pforever Warranty, thus guaranteeing both finish and function for the life of the product.
