Regular or prep faucet for prep sink
Comments (11)well, i'm kinda thinking as a chef/ prep point of view.. so i don't know what kind of prep work you will be doing. Like my examples, cleaning a fish or washing vegetables, 'high arc' faucet are more convenient. yes, the high arc is to accommodate tall pots, but it's also basically a 'pull out' faucet but instead of the hose hiding under the sink, it's exposed with a springy thing. it's like a 'coiled' electric cord.. so you have all those hose and it let you reach far when you pull the springy thing down. it won't be splashy if you adjust the water volume down when you wash delicate food, instead of more of a full volume for rinsing dishes. So the Brizo is a pretty good prep faucet because it is high and it can pull DOWN very far (better then pull OUT). what i'm just not sure is how smooth and easy it retract.. esp after couple years. If you already have a cleaning sink, and the prep sink is in a central place in the kitchen, i'll still get a 'high arc' but a more elegant one.. .. oh, ya,, when i talk about 'high arc' I mean the ones with the springy thing.. not just a solid fixed high arc faucet. Here is a video to illustrate my point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32t90hU4XvE just my thoughts.. :) Here is a link that might be useful: prep sink This post was edited by noopd on Fri, Apr 26, 13 at 22:32...See MoreBar/Prep sink faucet for kitchen sink?
Comments (7)I have both the regular Delta Allora on our clean-up sink and the bar size on our prep sink. The standard size one is very big-- I was kind of shocked when I first saw it, but it does work with our scale. The bar size one is plenty big. But although the bar size one is probably more appropriate for smaller spaces, keep in mind that while it has a pull-down function, there is no spray option. If that makes a difference to you....See MoreBar faucet for regular faucet for prep sink???
Comments (4)@ck_squared nice neat kitchen! Mine is a mess.. Will need to get ideas to de cluter those counters!! Lol .. But my delta addison neck is much more high curved than urs.. Urs is perfect for a prep n regular sink... As Lizzy said it might b too imposing.. But the bar model i dont know if it is too small since the bar faucets ive seen from other brand ls are tiny... I cant find pics online to get a visual next to a prep sink ...Here is a pic of the main faucet... Pls dont mind the mess behind lol.... The main sink is a double bowl but the bowl u see is 18 3/4 wode....See MoreKitchen faucet and matching bar faucet
