Boasting versatile design and effortless installation, the Kohler Forte widespread lavatory faucet combines fluid design lines with functionality to complement classic or contemporary spaces. The Forte also offers two sculpted lever handles that come pre-assembled on their valves for easy installation and cleaning. And it includes a pop-up plastic drain with tailpiece (the Forte is also available in a version with a metal drain).
