NEW EVOLUTION OF OUR SPOUTS!
The beauty of a Kakehi spout water feature is that it provides the pleasing sound and visual-effect of falling water into an overflowing vessel. (preferably stone, of course!) And when the spout is not running, the vessel still holds still water which continues to look serene and attract birds and other wildlife! Compared to bubbling rocks, columns, streams, etc. that look great when they are running but when they aren't, can actually sometimes be less-than-pleasant to look at.
Mike Riddle, our local crafter who has been making these out of copper for for us for almost a decade decided to retire last year. The cost of copper keeps going up so we called on another local metal artisan - David Gifford, to make these for us - fully welded out of steel and then powder-coated in a bronzy brown to mimic aged copper. These new spouts are amazingly robust and the weaker joint that existed on the copper ones is no longer an issue! The same detail that uses wire around the riser and spout to mimic bamboo nodes is still present and we are including pre-installed clear tubing on all these new ones to make installation more seamless on the DIY end. These are built for extreme longevity to last a lifetime without any maintenance whatsoever.
AVAILABLE IN ONE SIZE:
30" tall of 1 1/4" diameter riser and 15" spout 1" in diameter $315
Height can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the depth the spout is buried in the ground. Sorry, custom sizes are not available.
They are easy to plumb using the (included) 1/2" flexible tubing from the pump. A 250 gph magnetic drive pump provides plenty of volume for these spouts. We stock a variety of "pondless" bubbler basins to make these features very easy to install by a DIYer - usually in less than a day!
ONE SIZE: approx 30" tall of 1 1/4" copper and 15" spout of 1" copper $315
We can ship these spouts by themselves via ground parcel or LTL on a pallet with orders of granite goods via common truck freight.
Ask us about a complete kit with spout, basin, underground reservoir, pump, pipe and all the parts to install your DIY Kakehi spout water feature.
NOTE REGARDING PHOTOS BELOW: We have left the photos featuring copper spouts provided to us by our customers as they are all great examples of DIY installs. The new spouts should look virtually the same in your Kakehi water feature!

The water spout arrived yesterday in good shape. I've been looking for the right water spout for more than a year. Thank you for all your help solving my dilemma. My compliments to Mike on his workmanship.
Thanks again.

Hi Steve, Just wanted to send a big 'thank you!' to you and especially Mike Riddle for the excellent Kakehi fountain spout. The spout arrived on Wednesday afternoon, August 3 and I had it up and running by about 9:00 the next morning, in time for my father-in-law's 80th bday party that weekend. We received a lot of compliments on the fountain and are very happy with the dimension it adds to our newly renovated yard. Thanks again, Ron Hipwell
