Krowne Royal Series 8" Space Saver Pre-Rinse with Add-On Faucet The Krowne Royal Series 8" Center Deck Mount Space Saver Pre-Rinse (18-606L) packs a full pre-rinse station, complete with a 6" add-on faucet, into a shorter footprint than Krowne's standard pre-rinse units. It's built for kitchens where deck space is tight but the dish volume hasn't gotten any lighter, mounting on 8" centers with a stainless steel hose and 8" overhang for real working reach. A knife-style spray valve delivering 1.15 GPM cuts through grease and food residue, while 1/4-turn ceramic cartridge valves with integral check valves keep the unit reliable and drip-free over years of daily use. Key Features Space-Saving 8" Design This unit mounts on 8" centers with a shorter overall footprint than a standard pre-rinse, making it a practical fit for kitchens where deck space is at a premium without sacrificing the reach or performance of a full-size unit. It's a smart choice for retrofitting an existing sink where a full-length pre-rinse simply won't fit. Knife-Style Spray Valve at 1.15 GPM The knife-style spray pattern concentrates water into a tight, high-pressure stream that cuts through baked-on grease and stuck-on food more effectively than a wide, diffuse spray. At 1.15 GPM, it delivers that cleaning power without wasting water on every rinse cycle. Built-In 6" Add-On Faucet The 6" add-on faucet gives you a dedicated fill or rinse point right at the station, so staff aren't stuck using the pre-rinse spray valve for tasks it isn't built for, like filling a stockpot. It's a genuinely separate function packed into the same footprint, not just a decorative spout. 1/4-Turn Ceramic Cartridge Valves with Integral Check Ceramic cartridge valves hold up to far more open-close cycles than traditional washer-style valves before they start leaking or sticking, which matters in a station that gets used hundreds of times a shift. The integral check valves also protect against backflow, an important detail for any fixture connected to a potable water supply.

Krowne's Space Saver line uses a shorter riser and mounting profile than its standard pre-rinse units, which matters most in kitchens with a low backsplash, close overhead shelving, or a tight footprint around the sink. If you're not sure whether the standard or Space Saver version fits your setup, comparing the mounted height against your available clearance is the best way to check before ordering. What's the 6" add-on faucet actually useful for, and can I use it independently of the pre-rinse? Yes, the add-on faucet operates independently of the pre-rinse spray valve, giving you a dedicated fill point for tasks like filling a stockpot or rinsing produce without tying up the main spray head. It's a genuinely separate function rather than a decorative spout, which makes it useful in kitchens where a single pre-rinse valve was becoming a bottleneck. How does a ceramic cartridge valve compare to a traditional washer-style valve for maintenance? Ceramic cartridge valves are rated for far more open-and-close cycles than a traditional rubber washer valve before they start dripping or sticking, which matters in a station that gets used constantly through a shift. When a ceramic cartridge does eventually wear out, it's typically a straightforward cartridge swap rather than a full valve rebuild. Why do the integral check valves matter for this unit? The integral check valves prevent backflow between the hot and cold supply lines and back into the building's water system, which is both a food safety consideration and, in most jurisdictions, a code requirement for commercial pre-rinse installations. Having them built into the valve body means you're not relying on separate backflow preventers elsewhere in the line for this specific connection. How do I know if this is the right pre-rinse configuration for my kitchen, versus one of Krowne's other Space Saver models? Krowne offers this Space Saver line in
