I have a 30" farmhouse sink and I just went and measured my Rohl faucet. It is 10 and 1/2 inches. I can't remember if they called this a 10 or 11 inch reach. Anyway, I went with the longer version that they offered even with my 30 inch sink. I did this because in my other home I am used to this very long faucet (maybe 14 inches) that I have on this huge double sink. It's probably a bit long but I was used to it and I was afraid if I got a short one on my Shaw's sink that I would not like it. Truthfully, I think my Rohl at times is a bit long and gets in the way, but I think the shorter version would have been too short to suit me.

I would have to think that with a 36" sink you would want at least a 10 inch. Are you going to have a spray? Hopefully someone with a 36" sink will chime in soon.

I have a set up similar to pupwhipped. My 11 inch spout pours directly into the drain of the 30 inch Shaw's when the spout rotates to the point when it is over the drain (left of center). What length do you need to get the water to run straight down into the drain on your sink?

First I would like to thank you for your responses.

My spout would need to be 13 3/4" to reach the center of my drain. Do I need the faucet to reach the center? The faucet I am looking at is the Waterstone 4200 Single Handle with a 10 1/2" reach. Do you think I need to go with a longer reach?

It all comes down to the cost. Once we looked at the 10" and longer faucets the cost went up to $1300+, I just want to make sure we are not spending additional money we don't need to.

Hi - I'm wondering what faucet you chose because I am in the middle of the same problem. I've purchased 3 faucets - each more expensive than the last - looking for one that will reach to the drain, not be too huge, and not be overpowered by the sink. Right now I have a Kohler 2 handle kitchen faucet - with a spray but I may send it back. It's model number is K16111-4A-CP.
My farmhouse sink is 33" - single bowl - white cast iron - Kohler - the drain is on the right side. The faucet I have does reach the drain but it looks huge to me and I'm not sure I like it. I'd really appreciate any faucet suggestions.

This should help you figure it out. I also think pull down faucets are super useful for big sinks because of their reach.

The Waterstone faucet you mention should be fine. It is just about the only kitchen faucet made in the USA. They also have a longer reach model called the Towson. If you like contemporary, they have a positive pull down model with a nice reach and a great spray system.

We ended up ordering the Waterstone 4200, the soap dispenser and the side sprayer. It has a 10 1/2" reach on the spout. It doesn't reach the drain, but I think it will be fine. Everything is not installed, so I'm not sure if we will have water splashing up at us yet. Regardless - I'm in LOVE with this faucet.

This was the longest spout reach I could find in the style I was looking for.

I am putting in a triple bowl sink 40" wide..I was hoping my 9 1/3 " would be fine. It has a pull down spray. Any experience with this any one??

Hi, Great info here. I bought a Hahn 30 " farmhouse sink with the drain placed in the middle center.. Looking at a 10" reach Pfister faucet Marielle. If I allow for mounting into the counter behind...the drain opening would be at 12". It does have a pull-out...do you think this would work?
