Take a look in your sink box for the templating paper that is hopefully there. I do know there is/was a thread on faucet placement awhile back... For me, I respectfully disagree with smiling in that I wanted everything on my dominant hand. And because of our bowl configuration it is. Most templaters/installers want to line them up in a straight line along your back edge. Placement issues... make sure they are far enough away from your sink lip if it is an undermounted sink. (don't ask! ;) make sure to leave enough room between the faucets and your back wall to avoid water being trapped and to make it easy to get a sponge/towel in there to cleanup I like the air switch near by to the garbage disposal and is the far right side of our setup Depending on the size of your sink to cabinet, you might have room to put the hot water faucet on the opposite corner from your main faucet. Wherever you put the two faucets, try to avoid putting them next to each other, as to avoid them banging into each other... Templating... lots of little decisions to make at this time. Have your favorite vice available afterwards for celebration!

Never had batch feed, but had an air switch in my last kitchen and just loved it. Actually, the plumber installed it (that was in California). Word of caution, they are not all alike in the quality of looks. I'd seen one in the appliance store, and assuming they all were like that, just had my plumber bring one. It was junk, looked like tin, didn't sit even on the counter. So I refused it and bought the other one, and had him install that. I was totally happy with the air switch in every way.

Tali, I wanted to say (I'm not sure if I did) that in my remodel I actually went with the KD because the plans were "all done" and then...the cabinets came, and they SUCKED!!! And I can't stress that enough. So many people said "make them work" and I realized how stupid that was :) And started over again. I'm going to have a stunning kitchen, with every bell and whistle, and very very high quality cabinets, and all for around your budget. I'd love to hear that you see someone else and get everything you want, including the special stains, legs, etc. I have every bell and whistle involved, including inset doors (a big upcharge) and I'm using a very high quality cabinet company, Omega Custom, which I'd recommend you look at. They do everything custom (they have lower end lines as well, you can find them on line) but one of the things I love is that the inside stains match the outside, which I really think makes a difference in a high end design (I hate to open a cabinet and see another color or thermafoil). I'm spending about $70M for two bathrooms and a kitchen. I also was able to work in a Lacanche (look at those as well as the one you like because...they're cooler heh heh) and all of the options you are doing away with because of this designer. My tile backsplash...egads have you read the freaking complaining about it???? I'm pushing $70 a sq ft! So I know you can get everything everything everything!!!! you want if you keep searching. I only mention the costs and pushing the issue because, personally I don't care about how much I spend on the kitchen, it's my kitchen and I want what I want. I might not get it all back but I don't care, I want what I want :) But for the kind of money you're willing to spend, if I were to hear that budget for a kitchen, I'd expect to see all of the bells and whistles, including that warming drawer and subzero...(buy the Lacanche and you won't need a warming drawer...they're included) Heh heh Anyhoo, I know how you feel right now, because I've been there, and it totally sucks! But I'd rather see you take that dream design elsewhere and look to other cabinets of very high quality (that's important, I understand) but get all of the goodies as well (pot filler, etc). You can afford that under your budget :) So keep working, and when this is all done, you can enjoy that dream kitchen :) Which you will deserve after this hell is over LOL

You do not have to hold the button in for it to run. It's not exactly click on-click off, you hold it down to turn it on, and hold it down again to turn it off, but in between it runs by itself.
