Forté Single Control Pullout Kitchen Sink Faucet
The Kohler K-10433 Forté Single-Control Pullout Kitchen Sink Faucet is an easy-to-use, multifunction faucet. Its convenient pullout sprayhead has optimal height and reach for effectively filling and cleaning large pots and pans. Additionally, installation is easy and fast, and the Kohler ceramic valves and finish ensure a long-lasting product that can withstand the demands of daily use.
2 spray options are easily controlled with a side-to-side diverter (shown in Polished Chrome).View larger The versatile sprayer nozzle easily releases from the faucet--even if you have soapy hands.
Forté Kitchen Faucets
Expanding its current offering of single-control kitchen faucets, Kohler introduces Forté kitchen faucets, boasting attractive transitional style, fluid lines, and exceptional performance. The beautifully crafted handle of Forté provides comfortable hand control, and the faucet's integrated cast body and spout make it exceptionally easy to keep clean. Available with an escutcheon for single-hole or three-hole installations and an optional sidespray, Forté is perfect for roomy single and double- basin sinks. Its 6-inch spout height allowing more clearance for taller containers, and its generous 9-inch spout reach makes it ideal for handling larger pots.
Single Lever for Convenience
The Forté faucet's single lever makes it easy to operate: simply flip up the lever to turn on the water and move the lever left to right to find the desired temperature. Once you find the right temperature, leave the lever in place and turn the faucet on and off as needed. A high-temperature control lets you preset a maximum setting to eliminate scalding.
Versatile Sprayhead for Multiple Uses
The ergonomic sprayhead pulls out of the faucet with a counterweighted, braided-nylon hose that moves quietly and efficiently. The ball-joint swivel sprayhead ensures smooth operation, which means you can control it with minimal effort. Also, the MasterClean sprayface resists mineral buildup and is easy to clean. The two spray options are easily controlled with a side-to-side diverter that allows for either a traditional or palm grip--convenient for both right- and left-handed users. For further ease of use, the spray-pattern memory recalls the last setting used, and a high-temperature limit stop and temperature memory feature maintain a safe, ideal water temperature.
Durable Construction Lasts Longer
The Forté faucet's premium metal construction ensures a long life, and the finish is bonded to the faucet to resist scratches, corrosion, and tarnishing. All Forté faucets come in several finishes that exceed industry durability standards two times and boast distinctive color and texture selections, including authentic hand-brushed finishes. Forté kitchen faucets are offered in Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Vibrant Polished Brass, Vibrant French Gold, Vibrant Brushed Nickel, and Vibrant Brushed Bronze. For even greater durability, Forté kitchen faucets feature one-piece self-contained ceramic valves that exceed industry standards for longevity and allow for straightforward volume and temperature control.
Durable and elegant, Forté kitchen faucets come with a lifetime warranty (shown in Vibrant Stainless Steel).Easy Installation
Installation is fast and easy with 25-inch flexible supply hoses, a quick connection between the sprayhead and valve, and an easy-to-tighten installation ring.

It looks great with a modern design and good 6" spout height sufficent to allow easy filling of pots and pans. This, and a 9" reach and along with the nearly 180 degree swivel of the spout, makes it easy to cover most of the entire sink. And of course the sides spray will allow you to hit areas spout does not reach. I'm not sure about some of the comments on the spray - it is chrome like the faucet, very well made with a solid base that securely holds the sprayer. Very nice. I particularly like the faucet lever which is fairly long, very elegant looking and most importantly, makes control of both water temp and flow a breeze. And the precise control is due to the valuing mechanism which is just tight enough but not too tight so you can adjust lever very easily. I love that part of it the most, and frankly, that is the primary fuction of a faucet - water flow and temp.
Detailed instructions were provided although the plumber didn't need them it appeared, but for a novice, they would have come in handy. Overall, I'm highly impressed with this product and it feels like it will be a beautiful addition to kitchen for many years to come. I highly recommend.
1. The finish is beautiful and, most importantly, cleans easily and without degradation. It looks today like it looked in the package.
2. The spray and stream options perform well without using much water. The aerated option is great for rinsing large areas, and the spray option exerts good pressure for cleaning and rinsing out the sink.
3. The handle operates easily with one hand and smoothly moves from cold to hot and anywhere in between.
4. The rise is high, so it's easy to get big pots under the spout. Of course, the head pulls out on a long, sturdy tether to go anywhere. It swivels nicely and never binds, and the weight pulls it back into the stalk smoothly and easily.
The only minor quibble is the switch to change from spray to stream: It is a little stiff and doesn't always fully switch without another push. Also, the stalk range of motion (swiveling left to right) is slightly limited, but doesn't cause us any problems.
We would absolutely buy this set again and recommend it without reservation to anyone considering it.
In my review below, I recommended using two weights, instead of one weight, so the spray head will click into place better. That definitely helps. However, yesterday we added one more weight, and it is even better. So with a total of three weights, the spray head clicks right into place with a strong hold and doesn’t fall out anymore at all. I am now very happy with my faucet!
I like this faucet, and it is nice looking. The main reason we bought this faucet is that it has a toggle where you can set it to spray or stream as you wish. That way, if you have it set to spray, when you turn the faucet off and then back on again, it will stay on the spray function. It is almost impossible to find a faucet that will do this anymore. Most other faucets will revert back to stream every time you turn it off and then back on again, and I hate that.
The one big problem this faucet has (as also seen in many other reviews), is that the spray handle doesn't fully and securely click back into place after using it. This makes it fall out easy by just touching it. This is extremely annoying! Plus, it doesn't look good when it's not seated correctly. I called Kohler about this problem shortly after the faucet was installed, and they sent me a new plastic faucet insert to try. That didn't do a thing. Plus, the old insert was almost impossible to remove and broke as my husband was removing it.
Well, over a year has now gone by, and the problem just keeps getting worse. So, I called Kohler again. This time the gentleman said he would send me an additional hose weight to see if that helps. It came today, and it isn't the type that opens to install around the hose. The faucet has to be uninstalled in order to put the weight on. As my husband was spending a lot of time uninstalling the faucet, I called Kohler to find out if there was a simpler way. The very nice customer service lady I talked with told me that the only way to put the weight on the hose was to uninstall the faucet. However, she said that her husband didn't want to uninstall their faucet, so he just attached the weight to the hose with a zip tie. I am so glad she suggested that! I wish we would have thought of that in the first place and saved ourselves a couple hours of work. My husband stopped the disassembling process, put the faucet back together, and attached the weight to the hose with a zip tie - so much easier! He actually used three zip ties, because the weight fell off with only one zip tie. Now, the spray handle sits much better and doesn't fall out as easily - problem solved! It is not perfect, but is MUCH better. So, using two hose weights instead of one really helps with the problem. If you decide to use two weights, instead of asking Kohler to send you one of their weights that require the faucet to be uninstalled, I would highly suggest that you spend around $12.00 and get a weight that opens up and clamps around the hose. ...or you can do what we did with the zip ties.
One other note - the Kohler customer service reps I have spoken with have all been very nice and helpful.
Top reviews from other countries
This faucet does it’s job very well! Very easy to install. Way more robust then any other big box store faucet I’ve ever had. No complaints at this time, it was installed two weeks ago. So far so good. I recommend this faucet. I’m very satisfied. I will follow up if things change, as I’ve read other reviews that mention it started to leak for them within a few weeks, so if things change, I will update my review. UPDATE BELOW
It's been just over 6 weeks since installing this kitchen faucet. It has since developed a banging or clunking noise when turning it on. It also now leaks at the base of the faucet itself. Not happy about these new defects in this product. I will try to get a video of the noise it now makes, however it doesn't make the banging sound every time it is turned on. It only makes the noise for a second as it is turned on, then the noise stops. It is actually a little scary as it catches one off guard and is startling. If anyone one else has experienced this issue, please comment and let me know.
