Where can I buy a Kohler Forte widepread faucet?
The big box stores sell a Kohler Forte Widepread Faucet, so does a plumbing supply house. The big box store carries the K-10273-4 which has alot of plastic parts, the plumbing supply house sells the K10272-4 which has metal parts.
How to tell if a Kohler faucet is made for the big box stores?
Another way to tell, at least with Kohler, if the faucet was made specifically for the big box stores is if it has a Kohler seal that needs to be torn to get the box open, the big box stores don’t have this. Another good rule of thumb is don’t spend less on a faucet than it costs for a plumber to install it.
