Artifacts is a Kohler collection that includes bathroom faucets, kitchen faucets and matching bath accessories. This guide covers four single-hole Artifacts faucets. The bathroom models are 1.2 gpm and include a drain; the kitchen models are 1.5 gpm with three-function pull-down sprayheads. The Artifacts bar faucet is in our Kohler bar faucet guide.
Kohler Artifacts K-72762-9M: single-handle bathroom faucet
Choose the Artifacts K-72762-9M for a standard single-hole bathroom sink. Kohler’s spec sheet (resources.kohler.com) lists brass construction, a one-piece self-contained ceramic disc valve, a single lever for volume and temperature, a laminar-flow stream, a 5-11/16-inch spout reach, 1.2 gpm at 60 psi, a Clicker drain, flexible supplies and single-hole installation. Kohler lists an optional K-75449 escutcheon plate for sinks with three holes.
One conflict on the sheet: the features list a Clicker drain with tailpiece and overflow, while the technical table says drain with overflow: no. Check your sink’s overflow before relying on either. Kohler notes the ADA listing covers the handle only.
On October 15, 2026, the standard new offer sold by Amazon.com showed limited stock with model 72762-9M-2MB, Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass.

Kohler Artifacts K-72763-9M Gentleman’s: tall faucet for vessel sinks

The technical table gives a 7-5/16-inch reach.
Kohler adds an installation note: for new installations, assemble the faucet to the sink before installing the sink. Our vessel sink guide covers matching basins.

Kohler Artifacts K-99259: pull-down kitchen faucet

Kohler Artifacts K-99260: kitchen pull-down, backsplash-friendly handle
Choose the Artifacts K-99260 if the faucet sits close to the backsplash. Kohler’s spec sheet (resources.kohler.com) lists the same three-function sprayhead, ProMotion hose, MasterClean sprayface, DockNetik docking, 360° high-arch spout, 1.5 gpm and 9-1/16-inch reach as the K-99259, with a different handle that Kohler says eliminates handle interference with the backsplash.

Check these before you order
- Number of sink holes. All four faucets are single-hole. Kohler lists the K-75449 escutcheon plate as an option for the K-72762-9M on a three-hole bathroom sink. If your sink or counter has more holes than the faucet covers, check the escutcheon option first or plan to cover the extra holes.
- Basin height. Measure from the counter to the top of the basin rim. A vessel bowl needs the tall Gentleman’s spout; a sink set into the counter suits the standard K-72762-9M.
- Overflow. The K-72762-9M sheet lists a Clicker drain with overflow in its features but says no overflow in its table. Look at your sink: if it has an overflow hole, confirm the drain fits before you install.
- Backsplash clearance. On the kitchen models, a lever that swings toward the wall can hit a backsplash set close behind the faucet. Kohler designed the K-99260 handle to avoid that.
- Reach over the sink. The kitchen models reach 9-1/16 inches. Measure from the mounting hole to the center of the bowl so the stream lands where you want it.
Which Artifacts faucet should you buy?
Pick by the sink, not the style. For a regular bathroom sink with one hole, the K-72762-9M is the simple choice. For a bowl that sits on top of the counter, the Gentleman’s K-72763-9M gives the height and reach to clear the rim. In the kitchen, both pull-downs share the same sprayhead, flow and reach, so the choice comes down to the handle: the K-99259 for its lever handle, or the K-99260 when the backsplash is close. Stock was limited on most of these offers on October 15, 2026, so check the listing before you plan an install date.
Bathroom or vessel height?
The K-72762-9M is a standard-height faucet for a sink set into the counter. The Gentleman’s K-72763-9M is tall, with a 7-5/16-inch reach, so its spout clears the rim of a vessel bowl that sits on top of the counter. A tall faucet on a standard sink can splash; a standard faucet on a vessel sink may not reach over the rim. Match the faucet to the basin first.
Both bathroom models include a Clicker drain. Our Kohler bathroom faucet guide covers widespread and centerset Kohler faucets.

Kohler’s bathroom sheets list polished chrome, Vibrant Polished Nickel, Vibrant Brushed Nickel, Vibrant Brushed Bronze, oil-rubbed bronze and Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass; the kitchen sheets list polished chrome, Vibrant Polished Nickel, Vibrant Stainless, oil-rubbed bronze and Vibrant Brushed Moderne Brass.
