A pack of two replacement handles for the Pronteau Kynance tap range, in a brushed brass finish with a knurled, cross-hatched grip. Swapping the handles is the cheapest way to change the character of a Kynance tap without changing the tap.
Brushed brass is the newest addition to the Kynance handle range and it is a different thing from the aged brass finish alongside it — warmer and brighter, with none of the deliberate patina. If your tap and your cabinet handles are a clean modern brass rather than a heritage one, this is the pack that matches. The knurled texture is the firmer of the two grips Pronteau offer and gives the most positive hold on wet or soapy hands. Each handle is solid brass, 13mm in diameter and 38mm tall.
Which Kynance taps do these fit? Howdens state only "For Use With: Kynance Taps" and name no individual model numbers, and there is no compatibility chart in the manufacturer's documentation. We have not assumed one. If you tell us the code or the age of your Kynance tap we will confirm the fit with Howdens before you order.
Pronteau is a Howdens-exclusive brand. Without a trade account you cannot buy it direct, which is why these handles are difficult to find anywhere else. We hold a trade account and sell them to you at a normal retail price.

Howdens' own description of this pack does not mention that it contains two handles. Their specification does — Pack Size: 2, supplied with a base plinth and an aerator case — and that is what we are selling you.
Installation
These are a handle change, not a plumbing job — no pipework is disturbed and the water does not need to be turned off at the main in most cases. The pack contains two handles, a base plinth and an aerator case.
Howdens' Care and Maintenance row refers to a "Product Care and Maintenance Manual", and unlike the six older packs in this range this page has no document attached to it at all. Ask us and we will get you what Pronteau supply.
Guarantee
Howdens publish a 2 Year Manufacturer's Guarantee on this product. We should tell you that the Kynance installation guide published for this range states that decorative surface finishes are guaranteed for one year from purchase. We are quoting you both figures rather than picking the more flattering one, and we are asking Pronteau to confirm which applies to the handles. If the finish guarantee is the reason you are buying, contact us first.
