The model BLV-25000-SS is a kitchen faucet from the brand BENLIVE, finished in a brushed stainless steel tone. This brushed kitchen faucet is specifically designed for single cold water supply only, making it an excellent choice for kitchens where only cold water is needed or where hot water is not connected. This single cold kitchen faucet is installed as a single hole unit, providing a clean and straightforward solution for utility sinks, outdoor kitchens, or commercial food preparation areas.

Materials and Construction

The main body of this stainless steel kitchen faucet is constructed entirely from stainless steel, a material valued for its exceptional durability, superior resistance to rust and corrosion, and ease of cleaning. The tube or spout section is also made from stainless steel, ensuring consistent appearance and strength throughout the faucet. The entire exterior features a brushed finish, which gives the faucet a warm, matte, and fingerprint-resistant surface that hides water spots and smudges better than polished finishes. This brushed stainless steel faucet offers a professional and industrial look that complements modern and contemporary kitchen designs.

Dimensions and Installation Requirements

The kitchen faucet has an overall length of 245.7 millimeters, which is approximately 24.57 centimeters or 9.67 inches. This compact length makes the faucet suitable for smaller sinks, utility sinks, or bar areas where a full-sized faucet would be too large. Installation requires a single hole in the countertop or sink deck through which the faucet body is fitted. The connection thread is G1/2, a standard half-inch BSP thread that is compatible with most flexible supply hoses or rigid plumbing adapters. This single hole kitchen faucet is designed for quick and easy installation with standard under-sink connections.

Internal Mechanism and Operation

Inside the faucet, a brass cartridge controls the flow of cold water only. This brass cartridge is known for its robustness, resistance to wear, and long service life. Unlike ceramic cartridges, brass cartridges offer excellent durability in high-use environments such as busy kitchens. Since this faucet functions as a single cold system, the user can only turn the water flow on and off; there is no temperature mixing capability. The single cold cartridge provides reliable on-off control and consistent water flow.

Working Pressure Range

The brushed kitchen faucet is designed to operate within a working pressure range of 0.05 to 0.6 MPa. For practical reference, this equals 0.5 to 6 bar, or approximately 7.25 to 87 PSI. The lower limit of 0.05 MPa means the faucet can function even with low-pressure water supply systems, such as gravity-fed tanks. The upper limit of 0.6 MPa makes it suitable for most standard household mains pressure systems without risk of damage. This working pressure range of 0.05-0.6 MPa ensures compatibility with a wide variety of residential and commercial plumbing setups.

Warranty

The BENLIVE kitchen faucet comes with a warranty period of two years from the date of purchase. This two-year warranty typically covers manufacturing defects, any failure of the brass cartridge, and deterioration of the brushed finish under normal residential or commercial use. The warranty does not cover damage resulting from improper installation, misuse, excessive water pressure above 0.6 MPa, or damage caused by abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.
