Questions about installing kitchen faucets

1) If you have a kitchen sink with three holes and would like to buy a new faucet that only has one handle, what can you do to cover the other holes?

You can simply purchase an escutcheon plate that will cover the remaining holes, or you can complement you faucet with a soap dispenser, hot water dispenser or filtered water dispenser.

2) What is the difference between kitchen faucets with a gooseneck spout and a high spout?

The standard spout height of a faucet is approximately 3 to 7 inches. Some customers require more spout height so the manufacturers have made faucets with high spouts. These higher spouts range from 8 to 12 inches. A gooseneck spout is simply a high spout style that resembles an upside down “J.”

3) Who makes a kitchen faucet with water filtration built in?

Moen makes the most well known filter faucet, called the PureTouch. It is available in several finishes and is a perfect choice for homeowners who don't have room under the sink for a standard filtration system.

4) Do all faucet models fit all kitchen sinks?

Most do since standard-size sink openings and faucet dimensions are used throughout the plumbing industry. However, since there are a few exceptions, it is a good idea to check sizes first. The one area you might want to verify is the spout length just to make sure the spout hits inside the sink basin and is not too long. Most of the time, this won't be a problem either, but if you have an exceptionally long faucet and/or a short sinks from front to back, it could come into play in your buying decision.
