Blanco. The Deck Mount Pot Filler is ideal for a retrofit, creating a new kitchen look without redoing the plumbing. Available in polished chrome or stainless steel, the faucet eliminates the need to lug pots from sink to stove. For cold-water use only, it features dual shut-off valves for added safety. The faucet’s overall length is 22 3/8 inches. 800.451.5782. www.blancoamerica.com.

Elkay. The Muse collection features a high-arc spout and modern joystick handle. The faucet’s styling provides extra visual weight to balance large-scale appliances. Models 31063D05 and 31068D05 include a state-of-the-art cartridge design and are available in polished chrome or brushed nickel finishes. 630.572.3192. www.elkayusa.com.

Danze. A low, side-mounted single-handle valve marks the Parma pull-out kitchen faucet. The lean lines borrowed from European design are intended to appeal to sophisticated homeowners. The single-hole faucet is available in chrome or stainless steel and features a pull-out spout with spray function. The side-valve design is also available in a lavatory faucet design. 877.530.3344. www.danze.com.

American Standard. Making bath faucets easier to install, the company introduces its Speed Connect drain with just four parts. The unit is shipped pre-assembled; a flexible, durable stainless steel cable attached to the faucet body replaces the usual pivot and extension rod. Installation requires no special tools, and a foam gasket creates a watertight seal. A factory-installed internal seal eliminates common leak points, and the drain will never need adjusting, the maker says. 800.899.2614. www.americanstandard-us.com.

Price Pfister. The high-arc spout of the Amherst kitchen faucet allows for maximum sink clearance for easier cooking and cleaning. The longer handle gives users improved access and grip, while three-or four-hole configurations offer versatility. Chrome, stainless steel, or oil-rubbed bronze finishes are available. Features include a side spray and optional soap dispenser. 800.732.8238. www.pricepfister.com.

Kohler. Art Deco-inspired, the Pinstripe collection for the bath offers clean, straight lines and a handsome geometric symmetry. Homeowners can choose lever- or cross-handle styles in either the Pinstripe or Pinstripe Pure surface treatment. Pinstripe is a linear, textural element on the spout and handles; Pinstripe Pure is smooth. 800.456.4537. www.kohler.com.

Gerber. The Abigail collection — available for kitchens, bars, lavatories, tubs and showers, Roman tubs, and bidets — comes in chrome, brushed nickel, or oil-rubbed bronze and is suitable for upgrade remodeling or new construction. The classic styling of the rounded base fades into facet-like ridges on the spout and handles for a subtle modern flair. Lavatory faucets are available in centerset, mini-widespread, and widespread styles. Kitchen faucets are available in single- or two-handle designs. 630.679.1420. www.gerberonline.com.

Hamat. The strength of solid brass construction is behind the elegance of the Michelle Italian Country kitchen faucet. The Tuscaninspired design has a single lever and a spout projection of 9 inches. Available in polished chrome, stainless steel, oil-rubbed bronze, pewter, or bellagia bronze, the faucet comes with a matching side spray. Bar faucets are also available. 866.524.2628. www.hamatusa.com.

California Faucets. Along with the trend toward vessel sinks in bathrooms, the need for stylish single-hole wall faucets is expanding. The Avalon series, in 7- or 9-inch spout lengths, offers single-handle styles with mounting options alongside or above the spout, as well as a two-handle version. Faucets and under-sink fittings, including p-traps, deluxe angle stops, and supply risers, are available in more than 30 finishes for a perfectly matched look. 800.822.8855. www.calfaucets.com.
