Square One: Good Home Design Starts Here

This Faucet brings Color to the Kitchen

By Debra Silber

The split finish on Delta’s Fuse faucet line offers one way to introduce kitchen color where it’s least expected, offering the option of a red, black or white powder-coat accent on the faucet’s stainless body. The single-handle, arched-neck Fuse also features standard Delta innovations, including its Touch-clean spout (rub nubs allow easy removal of calcium deposits) and Diamond Seal valve. The pull-down is equipped with Delta’s MagnaTite magnetic docking system to keep the spray in place. If you’re a DIYer, you might appreciate the EZ Anchor mounting assembly that allows installation from above. The Fuse is available in stainless as well as chili pepper (red) cracked pepper (black) and snowflake (white). It’s sold at home centers with a list price of $441.
