I used the same 16" high faucet for both our sinks---one is 30" wide and 10" deep and the other is 13" wide and 10" deep. It doesn't feel out of proportion to me. I worry that the faucet at the prep sink might get turned on while it is swiveled over the counter but it hasn't happened yet after almost 4 years. It's handy for putting a large pot on the counter and filling it there if the sink is full or if I want to make lifting it easier.

Thanks Zelmar. I notice on the site video they have a relatively small sink in width, but the depth seems to be quite deep. I had read here on the forum that people had splashing issues with high arc faucets and I was wondering too if an 8" depth would be problematic.

hi katie,
I have an 8" depth undermounted sink with a rather high arc faucet, and haven't had too many splashing problems. The great thing about the pulldown style is that you can let it dangle as low as you'd like while you're using it, so you can still use the height for pot-filling & get the best of all worlds.

circuspeanut. I never thought of leaving it to dangle. Good thought!

splashback is a complaint i have seen written about.

I've seen people "ask" about splashing a lot on this site but I've rarely seen people post that it "is" a problem. I think because the question gets asked a lot there is a perception that it is more of a problem than it is. We have a grid on the bottom of our main sink and I use a wash tub on top of that, bringing the height up closer to the 8 1/4" of your sink and there is no splashing problem at all. The only time I get spray is when my faucet is on spray mode and I hold items just a few inches away from it (which happened with my old shallow sink and low non spray faucet too.) I think splash problems have more to do with water pressure than anything else. I wouldn't worry about it. If you have any splash you can always turn your faucet flow down a little bit.
