Product Reviews

Single Hole Single Handle Lavatory Faucet From The Fairfax Collection 4.9 5 39 44
Just love it! Easy to install- just had to add extensions because the faucet was set on an angle on a granite counter top with undermount sink. Love the way it turns on and off so easily. Would put it in a nother bath if asked to. August 14, 2011
Great faucet for the money July 30, 2011
Great faucet Installs easily, good looking, solves the issue of a 2-hole sink with a 6-in spread. Can't ask for anything more. June 29, 2011
Simply Elegant Never planned to write a review about a faucet but couldn't resist. Just remodeled a small bathroom and based many of my decisions on this faucet and the Fairfax series. The color (I chose brushed nickel) and simplicity helped give the room a spa-type atmosphere. Is also easy to use and clean. The contractors even commented on it! May 9, 2011
quality product I am very pleased with this faucet and the timely manner in which it arrived. I bought two of the faucets for different bathrooms and they are of very good quality and look good with the granite countertops. May 5, 2011
solid product The faucet was delivered on time. It was what you expect from a Kohler product-solid construction and well-finished. Handle and drain mechanism operate smoothly. May 2, 2011
Great faucet High quality and installs easy. Very happy with this purchase. April 25, 2011
Traditional Beauty We purchased 2 chrome Fairfax faucets for a double bowl counter. They are beautiful and we love the one handle because we have young children and it is a clean look. The faucets are sturdy and what you would expect with the quality of Kohler. The shipping was very fast and the products were packaged securely. We would recommend these if you would like a traditional look and an excellent quality faucet. The price was also outstanding. April 20, 2011
The Whole Picture We ordered 2 Kohler K-12182 The counter and bowls are corian, The Cabinet was 2-24 inch on the sides with an 18 inch in the center. Pictures say it all. April 20, 2011
Very pleased! Exactly as pictured and looks great on our new granite countertop in the bathroom. April 19, 2011

Loading nanoRep

What backsplash clearance is needed?

K-12182 requires 1.25" clearance behind it.

Can an 6" escutcheon plate be ordered for this model or do I need to send it back?

The Kohler K-12182 is the non escutcheon version of the Fairfax faucet. The escutcheon itself is on our site and is Kohler K-78050.

Can this faucet be used with a push close drain?

Yes. This faucet has a pop up drain included, but if you prefer to use a push close drain you can. You would just not install the pop up drain and install the push drain instead.

The Kohler K-12181 is the Fairfax faucet that is included with a 6" escutcheon plate for mini-widespread, 3-hole configurations.

how much room from to the back wall should be allowed for the drain pull?

The Kohler K-12182 required a minimum of 2.5" in distance from the backsplash.

I have seen the K-12182 BN described as "Vibrant Brushed Nickel" and "Brushed Nickel." I assume these are the same. Can you confirm?

Correct, On Kohler Faucets, Vibrant Brushed Nickel as well as Brushed Nickel are one in the same.

The white button on top of the faucet, is it plain white or does it have words on it like "hot & cold"?

The Kohler K-12182 has a white button on the top with no words.

Does this product comply with California Law Lead Law?

Yes, the Kohler K-12182 complies with California and Vermont Low Lead Laws.

One question was asked about the button, but the answer was not clear. Exactly what buttons are included in the box? Would it match the finish ordered?

The Kohler K-12182 includes a white button, you may order additional colors by searching item K-12001 and selecting the desired finish.

What is the difference between the 12181 and 12182?

The Kohler K-12182 is for single hole installation and the K-12181 comes with an escutcheon.

Hi I have the Fairfax sink faucet in my half bath and like it very much and would like to do my masterbath as well with the same. However, my shower surround has been drilled for 3 holes. Is there anyway to cover those up to give me more options? I need help on this one. Thank you.

The Kohler K-12182 escutcheon plate model is 77091. Are you looking for a something similar to a escutcheon plate that will work for shower drilled holes?

The picture shows a white finial on top of this. Can you tell me if other finials are included? (for example clear or blank as I don't like the white)

The Button for the Kohler K-12182 is available under either product number 1017730 or 1017731 and is available in a variety of finishes.

I like this Fairfax faucet in oil-rubbed bronze, but there don't seem to be matching accessories (towel bars, toilet paper holders) in that finish. Can you recommend something that would go with it, either a different finish or a different collection?

Though many of the Fairfax accessories have not been released in the ORB finish yet, many of the accessories from the Devonshire Collection have and are of a comparable shape and style: such as the K-10555, K-10554 and the K-10551.

What is the height of th faucet, tallest point?

Thank you for your inquiry. The Kohler K-12182 is 7 /12" high. That is measured from the bottom of the escutcheon plate to the highest point on the lever handle. Thank you.

Is the finial on the Kohler K-12182 white?

What is the height of this faucet when off? I know it is 7.5" at max open but there is no indication of height when the faucet is off.

The Kohler K-12182 is 7" high.

Can I get a stopper that goes with the faucet?

Why don't we show the price?

Like many retailers, Build.com can choose to set its own prices independently. And even though manufacturers require Build.com and other retailers to display a product's "minimum advertised price" (or MAP), the retailer can choose to sell for less than that. But the price must be conveyed in other ways, and each individual manufacturer's MAP policy determines where the price can be seen.

To see the price for this product at Build.com, you'll need to place it in your shopping cart, and maybe even proceed to final checkout. If you're not ready to buy the product, simply remove it from the cart.

Build.com apologizes for any inconvenience. We'd just like to offer you the chance to save extra money while we adhere to manufacturers' MAP policies. Build.com is also working to educate manufacturers on how their policies impact customers and their buying behavior.
