Handles and Accessories

Once you know the number of holes your faucet requires and which mounting option you prefer, you’re ready to consider handle, sprayer and spout options.
Handles:

Single-handle faucets can be attached to the faucet base or can stand alone, and require one or two sink holes. Many models come with a mounting plate to cover up to three unused holes and are ADA compliant for people with disabilities. A side sprayer can be integrated in the main faucet deck or as part of the faucet spout.

Double-handle faucets have separate handles for hot and cold water and require three sink holes. The handles may be integrated with a deck plate or mounted separately. The sprayer is typically separate from the faucet head.

Sprayers:
Sprayers may be located on the faucet spout or to the side. Some faucets incorporate

pull-out or pull-down spray heads into the spout that allow you to direct water wherever you choose, providing added convenience and versatility for cooking and cleaning.

Pull-out faucets have spouts that are curved or angled, allowing the head to be pulled out and extended. They are available for single-handle faucets, useful for washing dishes and vegetables and for rinsing the sink. Some units offer an additional spray and/or pause function located within the main faucet head.

Pull-down faucets have spouts that rise into a high arc, allowing the head to be pulled down into the sink. They are available for single or double-handle faucets and allow more space and flexibility in the sink. The pull-down feature often includes a spray and/or pause function.

Side sprayers mount to the side of the faucet and require a separate hole in the sink or countertop. They extend water flow to hard-to-reach areas and make cleaning large pots or preparing food easier since they retract when not in use. Side sprayers can often be matched with your existing faucet.

Tip: A word of advice on what to know when replacing a kitchen sink sprayer; you don’t need to purchase an entirely new faucet. Most sprayers are mounted either on the faucet body plate or on the side of it, so removing and replacing is fairly easy.

Spouts: Select a faucet with a spout that reaches as close to the center of the sink as possible. Average-size sinks require an 8 to 10-inch spout, while larger sinks and sinks with multiple bowls may require a 12 to 14-inch spout.

Standard spouts commonly rest 3 to 5 inches above the plane of the sink. High-arc spouts, also known as Gooseneck spouts, are commonly 8 to 10 inches above the plane of the sink. They add an elegant look, provide more work room and increase range by rotating as much as 180 degrees.

Things to Consider

When you're shopping for a new faucet, there are a few factors to consider.

Cost: Always factor in your budget when shopping. With kitchen faucets, things like features, finish and type will cause prices to vary.

Size: When it comes to how to purchase and how to replace a kitchen faucet, the size of your kitchen and the amount of countertop space you have are the most important factors to consider. Your hot and cold-water inlets will always be about 8 inches apart, and the faucet should stick out no further than 12 inches from the base. So be sure to measure your counter area.

Special features: Take into account if you want special features like a garbage disposal button or a built-in water filter. These features offer convenience and less effort.

Care: How you care for your faucet will depend on the finish. For daily cleaning, we recommend soap and water; however, you can deep clean using a mixture of white vinegar or baking soda and water. You can also purchase faucets that already include antimicrobial protection.

Sink Body Types

Single-Hole One of the most common types of kitchen faucets, single-hole faucets are also referred to as bar faucets because their narrow body style makes them a great selection for a wet bar area or any room in the house that has one hole in the countertop. It features just one handle for both hot and cold water.

Centerset Sometimes referred to as “two-hole” faucets, this type sits in the center of your sink with all parts connected on one metal plate. Features separate handles for hot and cold water. This is a good choice for homes with families, since the water temperatures are controlled with designated handles.

Widespread While they resemble centerset faucets, widespread faucets include pieces that have to be installed separately, so you will need multiple holes in your countertop. Typically, widespread faucets are spaced from 6 to 16 inches apart, so it’s important to measure before you begin shopping for your new faucet.

Wall-mounted These types of faucets are installed on the wall rather than the inside of a sink. Wall-mounted faucets are great if you are limited on countertop space or live in a smaller space.

Faucet Holes and Deck Plates

Kitchen sinks and countertops typically have between one and five holes to accommodate various configurations of handles, spouts and any accessories like side sprayers or soap dispensers. Deck Plates:

Kitchen faucets can be mounted either with or without a deck plate, which contains your faucet’s spout and handles in one mounting plate. These units can cover up to three holes in your sink.

Faucets without deck plates require each component, such as the spout, handles, sprayer and lotion or soap dispenser, to be mounted individually on the sink or countertop.

One hole – Sinks with one hole typically fit single-handle faucets. Some double-handle units can accommodate sinks with a single hole.

Two holes – Bridge faucets or two-hole configurations are typically suited to single-handle faucets and an accessory such as a sprayer or soap dispenser.

Three holes – Double-handle faucets require three holes, one for each handle and one for the spout. You can install units with or without deck plates in three-hole sinks.

Four or five holes – Sinks with more holes allow you flexibility during installation. Install a single or double-handle faucet and use the remaining holes for accessories. Or, cover any unused spaces with sink hole covers. You can also install units with or without deck plates.
