Pfister Debuts Several Innovative Features at KBIS 2021
Leading Faucet Brand Delivers New Pull-down Kitchen Faucets & Inventive Features*LAKE FOREST, Calif., Feb. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *Pfister, an industry leader in thoughtful, architectural design styles for every taste, introduces two innovative new kitchen faucets steeped in practical luxury and sophisticated design, including three novel features intended to make life easier in the kitchen. The company is known for its stylish and elegant, feature-packed pieces for the kitchen and bath including some of the bestselling and award-winning product lines and state-of-the-art technologies.
*Pfister Debuts Inspired and Innovative New Features at KBIS 2021*
*MagnePfit™*
The Pfister® MagnePfit™ magnetic docking feature uses powerful magnets to keep the spray head firmly secured to the spout. A firm connection is important for a seamless user experience and to prevent a dangling spray head. The magnets work in conjunction with a weight located on the hose to provide quick and effortless retraction of the spray head after use.
*Auto-Align™*
Manually aligning the spray head after each use can be cumbersome. Auto-Align™ technology simplifies that process by removing the need for manual alignment and positioning. Threaded grooves subtly located at the base of the spray head work with corresponding grooves inside the spout to re-orient the spray head for perfect positioning. Auto-Align™ technology even allows the option to have the spray toggle buttons face outward for easy identification and operation, or face to the back for a more concealed, smooth appearance.
*HydroBlade™*
This innovative spray pattern is engineered to blast away hard-to-clean messes with ease. The high-pressure water blade uses high velocity and concentrated force to blast away hard-to-clean messes from plates, cups, sinks, and other surfaces.
*Pfister Unveils New State-of-The-Art Faucets*
All three of these original features and more are now available on two exquisitely designed faucet models, the new Norden™ pull-down kitchen faucet and the new Port Haven™ pull-down kitchen faucet.
*Norden™ Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet*
Angular edging alongside soft swoops and curves become 3-D art that is as ergonomic as it is captivating. In addition to HydroBlade™, Auto-Align™ and MagnePfit™ features, the multi-function spray heads with wipe-clean nozzles and a limited lifetime warranty round out this feature-rich offering. The Norden™ faucet is sold now in kitchen and bath showrooms nationwide and available in stainless steel, polished chrome and matte black.
*Port Haven™ Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet*
Keeping with the theme of popular trends, Port Haven™ fixtures thrive in modern rustic, modern industrial, and eclectic traditional kitchen designs. The Port Haven™ kitchen faucet collection also includes a matching style pull-down bar and prep faucet as well as a bridge faucet with an included side spray. The Port Haven™ faucet is now available in polished chrome, stainless steel, brushed gold, polished nickel and Tuscan bronze in kitchen and bath showrooms nationwide.

No tools are required for installation of this innovative drain assembly, saving lots of time spent in a cramped space. In fact, the Push & Seal™ assembly can be installed in under four minutes.
