Some common answers about kitchen faucets

1) 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.”

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) Are there any benefits to having faucets with knobs or as a single handles?

Some say that having a single handle faucet gives you greater flexibility when preparing food because you are able to turn the faucet on and off with just one hand. Other than that, there is no benefit to one over the other.
