History of Phylrich
Dating back to 1959, Phylrich started under the name of Phylrich International. The company’s headquarter were located in Burbank, California. In 2005, Elkay Manufacturing took over the company. Elkay’s specialty was manufacturing stainless steel sinks. Despite having its faucet brand, it wasn’t able to promote the Phylrich faucets in its listing of plumbing products.
However, the turn over took place in 2012 when Phylrich was sold to Escalette LLC. Known for its impeccable brass gears and accessories, Escalette promoted the Phylrich faucets with a vision to carry on the Phylrich tradition of providing top-notch plumbing products at home.

The technology used in Phylrich Faucets
Phylrich does not let its customers down by compromising on the luxury component of their faucets. Their faucets apart from their intricate designs use the top-notch available cartridges and valves which was evident when we went through some kitchen faucet of Phylrich.
Their faucets are either two handle or single handle with the further distinction of being single-hole or a bar faucet. The valves used in their two-handle faucets come in complete brass covering. These disk cartridges are from Anton Traenkle, one of the best in the business.
For single-handle faucets, the cartridges used are slightly different. These cartridges are synthesized by Studio TecnicoSviluppo e Ricerche, a renowned ceramics company in Italy.
What Types of Kitchen Faucets Are Available from Phylrich
Talking about the product range offered by Phylrich, its faucet category for the kitchen is broadly divided into two major subcategories, bathroom and kitchen faucet. Most of the fittings in the kitchen faucet range are powder-coated and have exquisite designs. However, the kitchen faucet range is limited as compared to the bathroom faucet range by Phylrich.
In total, there are about twenty-five finishes available. The finishes fall under two groups:
- Group 1 with basic finishes
- Group 2 with special finishes.
As the name suggests, the special finishes come with extra added cost.
Warranty on a Phylrich Kitchen Faucet
Phylrich offers a limited lifetime warranty. The lifetime warranty only covers the ceramic cartridges and the chrome finishes. Apart from this, the mechanical parts (all the moving parts) of the Phylrich faucets are assured for ten years. This guarantee is also applicable to the powder-coated finishes by the Company.
Additionally, the finishes that are prone to damage over time by their nature owing to stains, mar, scratch, fade and discolor are not covered by any guarantee. This category falls under the living finishes and no company guarantees the living finishes so it’s completely acceptable. Therefore, to prevent your finishes from getting stained or marred, try not to choose faucets with the living finish.
The term lifetime is described by Phylrich as the time the buyer remains the owner of the house in which the fittings are fitted. This means that the faucets fall under the lifetime guarantee category as long as they are installed in the house, retained by the buyer. They will remain under the lifetime guarantee even if the buyer shifts to a new place and installs the same faucets from the previous house.
