• Missing Parts from products (ie handles, screws, etc.)

• Wrong Products Received
• Products Damaged in transit

If you have any of these issues, you have 30 days from date of purchase to contact Kingston Brass, Inc. and make a claim.

Kingston offers several special finishes that fall into two main groups: antiqued/distressed and living. Our antiqued/intentionally distressed finishes include Antique Brass, Antique Copper, Naples Bronze, and Brushed Black Stainless Steel. Our living finish is Oil Rubbed Bronze. Antiqued/distressed finishes have had a darkener applied to create the appearance of patina and age. Due to the nature of plating and distressing processes, each production lot of these finishes varies slightly in brightness and tone. Some degree of inconsistency between items in antiqued or distressed finishes should be expected. We cannot guarantee an exact match between items in these finishes. The differences in tone and brightness are a variation rather than a flaw or defect. Living Finishes change over time. Our Oil Rubbed Bronze will patina over time such as taking on highlights in high-touch areas. We consider this dynamic nature a feature that gives each faucet a unique character over its lifetime of use and does not constitute a defect or flaw. Like our antiqued/distressed finishes, some degree of inconsistency between living finish items should be expected. We cannot guarantee an exact match between items in Oil Rubbed Bronze.

1. Prior to installing the faucet, water lines must be flushed clean of debris and particles that may be present to avoid the clogging of cartridges or aerator causing mal-function, leakage or reduce in flow.
2. Warranty will be void if water lines are not properly flushed prior to installing the faucet.
3. Use of abrasives cleaners of any strength may damage the finish of your faucet and will void this warranty.
