• Threaded Spout: The spout is threaded, allowing for easy attachment of a garden hose or other accessories for various tasks.

4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Peerless faucet.

• Cleaning the Finish: To clean the chrome finish, use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Cleaning the Spout: The threaded spout can accumulate mineral deposits over time. Regularly clean the spout and aerator (if applicable) to maintain optimal water flow.
• Touch-Clean Spray Holes: If your faucet features Touch-Clean spray holes, simply wipe away calcium and lime build-up with a touch of a finger.
