Delta Faucet Co 21996-LF Two Handle Kitchen Faucet

Product Description

The DELTA FAUCET CO 21996-LF is a two-handle kitchen faucet with side spray from the Windemere Series, finished in chrome. It mounts to the deck of a four-hole sink using 8-inch centers, making it a direct fit for standard kitchen sink configurations. The spout measures 8 inches in length and 11-5/8 inches in height, swings 360 degrees for full basin coverage, and delivers 2.2 GPM at 60 psi through an integrated aerator. Metal curved wing handles feature 1/4-turn stops for precise on/off control. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this faucet in residential kitchens.

The 21996-LF is designed for deck-mount applications on four-hole kitchen sinks with 8-inch center spacing. The 360-degree swivel spout and side spray combination suits standard double-basin kitchen sink setups. Shanks are threaded 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch NPSM for connection to standard supply lines. Maximum deck thickness of 1 inch accommodates most residential kitchen sink decks. The antisiphon device is integrated into the valve body, meeting backflow prevention requirements without a separate add-on component.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified installer following IPC guidelines. Shut off the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink before beginning work. Do not overtighten the mounting hardware against the sink deck, as this can crack the sink surface or damage the faucet body. Verify supply line compatibility with the NPSM-threaded shanks before completing the rough-in connection.
