About kitchen faucets
A kitchen faucet is used more than any other fixture in the home. Solid brass bodies and ceramic-disc cartridges are the two specs that separate a ten-year faucet from a two-year one.
Parts availability matters as much as build quality — major brands stock cartridges for decades.
Specifier's tips
- Check spout height against your window sill before ordering
- Magnetic docking keeps pull-down sprayers from sagging over time
- Unlacquered brass will patina unevenly around the handle — by design
Frequently asked
Touchless or manual?
Touchless is genuinely useful when cooking, but keep a model that still works manually if the battery dies.
Do I need a separate filtered-water tap?
Only if you want filtration independent of the main line; some faucets integrate it in one body.
