Product Features
LED Temperature Indicator
The faucet features an integrated LED light system that changes color based on water temperature. This system is powered by water flow and does not require batteries.
- Blue Light: Water temperature below 95°F (35°C)
- Green Light: Water temperature between 95°F (35°C) and 115°F (46°C)
- Red Light: Water temperature between 115°F (46°C) and 130°F (54°C)
- Flashing Red Light: Water temperature above 130°F (54°C) - Warning for excessively hot water.
This image displays the FORIOUS LED Kitchen Faucet in matte black, with water flowing from the pull-down sprayer. On the right, three circular insets show the sprayer head emitting blue light (for <95°F), green light (for 95-115°F), and red light (for 115-130°F), illustrating the LED temperature indicator feature.
Multi-Functional Pull-Down Sprayer
The pull-down sprayer offers three distinct spray modes for various kitchen tasks:
- Stream Mode: Provides a steady, aerated flow for filling pots and general washing.
- Spray Mode: Delivers a powerful, wide spray for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
- Pause Mode: Temporarily stops water flow without turning off the faucet handle, useful for preventing splashes while moving the sprayer.
The sprayer head features a 360° rotating nozzle and an 18-inch retractable hose for extended reach and complete sink coverage.
This image illustrates the two-function sprayhead of the FORIOUS faucet. It shows the sprayer in both stream mode and spray mode, indicating that the LED light color changes in both modes. A comparison is shown with another faucet type that only changes color in stream mode.
Integrated Soap Dispenser
The included soap dispenser has an 11.83 oz (350 ml) capacity and can be refilled from the top for convenience. It is suitable for liquid soap or detergent.

Quality and Certifications
The faucet is constructed from premium SUS 304 stainless steel and features a ceramic cartridge tested for leak-proof performance. It is certified lead-free and meets cUPC standards.

Pre-Installation Steps
Before you begin, ensure your sink has the appropriate number of holes (1 or 3) for installation. The included deck plate can be used for 3-hole installations.
This image provides product dimensions and installation hole configurations. It shows the faucet's height (14.76 inches), spout height (6.69 inches), and spout reach (9.84 inches). It also illustrates how the faucet can be installed in 1, 2, 3, or 4-hole sinks, and provides dimensions for the soap dispenser and supply hoses.
Installation Procedure
- Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water supply valves under your sink and turn them off. Open the existing faucet to drain any remaining water.
- Remove Old Faucet: Disconnect the old faucet's water supply lines and mounting nuts. Remove the old faucet from the sink.
- Install Deck Plate (if needed): If your sink has three holes, place the rubber gasket and then the deck plate over the holes.
- Install Faucet Body: Insert the faucet body through the center hole (and deck plate, if used). From underneath the sink, secure the faucet with the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut. Tighten securely with an adjustable wrench.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's hot and cold water valves. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install Soap Dispenser: Insert the soap dispenser head through the desired hole. From underneath, secure it with the plastic nut. Attach the soap bottle to the dispenser pump.
- Attach Sprayer Hose and Weight: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting under the faucet. Attach the counterweight to the sprayer hose at the marked location to ensure smooth retraction.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. Run the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris and check for proper operation of all spray modes and the LED indicator.
Operating Instructions
Water Flow and Temperature Control
The single handle controls both water flow and temperature. Move the handle up to increase flow and down to decrease. Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
Using the Pull-Down Sprayer
Pull the sprayer head down from the spout. Use the button on the sprayer head to switch between Stream, Spray, and Pause modes. After use, the hose will retract automatically with the help of the counterweight.

LED Temperature Indicator
The LED lights will automatically illuminate and change color according to the water temperature as described in the "Product Features" section.
Using the Soap Dispenser
Press down on the top of the soap dispenser pump to dispense liquid soap or detergent into your sink or onto a sponge.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet Finish
To maintain the matte black finish, clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.

Cleaning the Sprayer Nozzles
Over time, mineral deposits may accumulate on the rubber nozzles of the sprayer head. To clean, gently rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any deposits. This helps maintain optimal spray performance.
Ceramic Cartridge
The faucet is equipped with a durable ceramic cartridge designed for drip-free performance. If you experience persistent drips or leaks from the handle, the cartridge may need to be inspected or replaced. Contact customer support for assistance.
