Review on Kraus KVF 1220MB by Mike Sutton

My wife and I love it. It's very attractive (to us) from an aesthetic point of view, it seems very well made and works great. For those inclined to DIY: Installation was easy for me. I encountered a small problem during installation, which was entirely my fault, but I mention it so others don't do the same. It has 2 fastening mechanisms: (1) The plate has a 1 3/8" threaded hole and the bottom of the main tube is threaded. (2) The plate also has smaller threaded holes for two bolts that are tightened after the main tube is tightened .These two screws are slotted for a Phillips head screwdriver and the installation instructions only mention how to tighten them.The screw heads are also hex so they can be tightened with a wrench.At first I didn't even realize the screws were wrench tightened so I thrashed around trying to use Phillips screwdrivers - long, short, curved, you name it. The bolts were in a tight, uncomfortable position that I could only reach with my outstretched arm. While doing this I noticed found that light reflected off a flat surface on the head of the screw, and found that d as they have hex sockets that fit in a wrench. After that, I lightly tightened them using a small 1/4" ratchet, a short extension, and an 8mm socket. An installation guide and datasheet are available on the Kraus USA website, although I had to struggle to find them I would add links to them, but as I just found out this is against Revain's rules for submitting reviews.
