CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR FAUCET
Your Kingston Brass faucet has been finished to the most strict standards;
however, due to the high content of minerals in the water, your finish may
appear dull and tarnished after time. These are some do’s and don’ts to
maintain the luster of your faucet for many years to come.
DO
- Use silicon-based caulking when installing.
- Clean your faucet with only a mild soap and water solution.
- Dry your faucet after using it.
- Give it a coat of Carnauba Wax periodically.
DON’T
- Use plumbers putty when installing the faucet.
- Use any abrasive cleaning agents.
It may seem like a very simple and short list but it is that simple to maintain your faucet, looking shiny and new.
If your faucet is already looking somewhat dull and tarnished, before replacing it, try cleaning it with a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water, you may need to soak some rags and wrap around those stubborn areas, leave overnight and rinse completely in the morning, apply Carnauba wax once you have removed the mineral deposits.

10-YEAR MANUFACTURER’S
LIMITED WARRANTY
All parts of this Kingston Brass faucet are warranted to the original
retail purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a
period of ten(10) years from the date of purchase as shown on the purchaser’s
receipt. This warranty is limited to defective parts only, labor charges
and/or damage resulting from improper installation, repair, or replacements,
as well as incidental and consequential damages connected therewith are
excluded. Any damage to this faucet as a result of misuse, abuse, neglect,
accident, improper installation, or any use not consistent with the
instructions furnished by us, will void this warranty. Replacement parts can
be obtained from your local dealer. Freight cost is not covered by the
manufacturer.
CAUTION!!!
- Water lines must be completely flushed before use, to avoid debris & clogs in your water system leading to a reduction of water flow and mal-functioning.
- Warranty is void if water lines are not flushed prior to use and installation of the new faucet.
- Use of abrasives of any strength may damage the finish of the faucet and void the product warranty.
- Do not over-tighten your faucet on the countertop during installation. The valve assembly is tested to meet the standards set by ASME A112.18.1 sec 5.8 which is listed at 100 LBF. However, over-lightened or over-torqued nuts may lead to cracks on the valve and will eventually lead to leaking and water damage.
- Before installation of the faucet to the desired fixture, you need to secure and anchor your console, sink, tub, or vanity cabinet firmly to the wall and to the floor. To ensure your fixture or faucet mounting surface cannot be moved, before installation of the faucet, please test to see if the cabinet or vanity can be moved by hand or body weight. If the faucet mounting fixture is not secure and anchored, it will eventually crack the valve and cause leaking leading to property damage. In order to avoid this, be sure to secure your installation surface. Do not use any power tools for assembly and installation which can cause internal fractures to the fixture.
