Gerber Plumbing Fixtures LLC Adds High-Arc Kitchen Faucet to Allerton Family of Faucets

    WOODRIDGE, IL - February, 2007 - Gerber Plumbing Fixtures LLC has added a new kitchen faucet to its comprehensive Allerton collection. The new design features an elegant arc that adds flexibility in today's busy kitchens. The spout is gracefully styled and complements kitchen décor ranging from classic to contemporary. A coordinated vegetable sprayer is also available.

    The new high-arc spout is fashionable and functional.

    Particularly useful when paired with multi-bowl sinks and for filling large pots, the new high-arc spout is fashionable and functional, while single-handle operation further facilitates the task of working around the kitchen sink.

    The Allerton collection includes faucets for the kitchen and bath with kitchen, lavatory, tub and shower valves, Roman tub and laundry faucets and is offered in Chrome, Brushed Nickel and a Chrome/Polished Brass combination.

    Allerton single-control kitchen and lavatory faucets incorporate an adjustable temperature limit stop, which enables installers and users to set a maximum temperature to protect the user from potential scalding. This feature is well-suited for installations where safety, comfort and control are of paramount importance.

    "The Allerton collection exemplifies our commitment to offering the most flexible line of kitchen and bathroom faucets at popular price points," said Kevin McJoynt, director of marketing for Gerber. "And, with style becoming almost as important as long-lasting durability, it was logical that we expand the Allerton collection to include more fashion-forward products that will stand the test of time," he concluded.

    Homeowners and plumbing professionals will appreciate the quality craftsmanship of Gerber products including solid cast brass construction and reliable ceramic cartridges. Available in single-handle and widespread options, Allerton lavatory faucets are built with solid cast brass castings and copper waterways].

    Allerton kitchen faucets also feature solid cast brass construction, as well as easy-to-install 1/2-inch threaded connections, and come in two-handle, single-handle and pull-out models.
