Faucet Styles
Different faucets can perform different tasks around your kitchen sink. Make sure to find the one that fits your needs as well as your style.
Pull Down Faucets - Pull-down faucets have a high, arched neck known as a gooseneck, and the spout points directly down into the sink basin, making them excellent for filling pots and washing cookware. The faucet head is connected to a short spray hose that can be drawn down and slanted in different directions, allowing the faucet head to function as a sprayer head.
Pull Out Faucets - Pull-out faucets have a more progressive inclination to the base and a shorter spout that points upward instead of into the sink. The faucet head is connected to a larger hose that pushes outward for a wider range of motion, making it easier to cover all areas of the kitchen sink.
Bar Faucets - Bar faucets (also known as prep faucets) feature a smaller body size and a narrower valve configuration, making them ideal for use with smaller, narrower sinks. They usually have a long gooseneck for filling or rinsing glasses or vases, among other things.
Pot Fillers - Pot filler faucets are often located above the stove on the wall. They include a hinged, flexible neck that allows the faucet to extend wider over the sink for usage before folding back against the wall to be stored out of the way. They have a higher flow rate than a standard kitchen faucet.
Water Dispensers - Water dispensers are small, single-hole set faucets that dispense purified cold or hot water using water filters. They're built specifically for filling drinking glasses one at a time.
Pre-Rinse Kitchen Faucets - A high-arched, high-pressure spray nozzle is attached to a coil-guided spray hose and fastened to the spout by a support bar on pre-rinse faucets. They're also known as restaurant or commercial faucets, and they're essential for removing food waste from plates before washing them.
Bridge Faucets - A high-arched, high-pressure spray nozzle is attached to a coil-guided spray hose and fastened to the spout by a support bar on pre-rinse faucets. They're also known as restaurant or commercial faucets, and they're essential for removing food waste from plates before washing them.
Single Handle Faucets - A single handle faucet's basic, single-hole form allows for quick and straightforward operation in a variety of styles and functions.
