Small faucet for prep sink with pulldown sprayer - does it exist?

10 years ago

I have looked all over online and can't seem to find anything that fits what I am looking for. I am looking for a small faucet to go with my prep sink. The sink/faucet will be underneath cabinets (18inches from countertop) so I am looking for the high arc "style" but at a lower height - 11 inches spout height or less. The other must-have is a pulldown sprayer. I prefer it to be one handle, just to keep things looking simple and unfussy. Does such a product exist? Should I go ahead with a taller, more typical-height faucet? I feel like the scale would be off. But I am starting to drive myself nuts with this search! Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

The Kohler Purist line has smaller faucets with pullout, the 7505 and 7506, and they have a more contemporary look. I have the larger (just over 11" high) at the cleanup sink, and the smaller (just under 10") at the prep sink.

Does this kind of faucet exist?

OOh, I love the Karbon but the sprayer does not lock in place (you have to keep pushing the little black button down for spray). The flexible neck is interesting, but looks like there are issues with installation. Thank you for your responses, Angie and williamsem!

Kitchen Sink Faucets with spray - Pullout or Pulldown?
Q
Comments (34)
There was a Delta pull-out in our house when we bought it. It functioned fine but I disliked the awkwardness of using it. Something about the way you had to hold it to use it in certain situations bothered me. The handle was just clumsy feeling sometimes. If I wanted to turn the head or clean the sink and turn my hand, the handle got in the way of the hose, etc. When we renovated we replaced it with a Kohler Vinnata pull-down. I much prefer the pull-down. It's just a natural, more ergonomically correct way of using a faucet in my opinion. I like that you grip the whole head of the faucet with your whole hand and that's it...no handle to fiddle with also. And no, if the faucet is made correctly, they don't dangle. We've had ours for six years now. It retracts perfectly, doesn't tangle and always goes back in just fine. What Frankoma states above about a pullout, stands for a pull-down also. I can fill my coffeepot or my stockpot on the counter with my pull-down just fine. It doesn't just pull DOWN, you pull it down and out too. :)

Our Kohler Simplice retracts and stays in place better than our Elkay Moda, but like Breezy, I know part of the problem is too much stuff under the prep sink that interferes with how the weight works on the hose. I love having the pull downs. We've had ours over 4 yrs. Misslivvy, other things you might want to watch for is if the pull down actually has a spray option (the Simplice does and the Moda doesn't, so I miss that feature at the prep sink), and whether the spray option stays engaged when you're not holding the button and after you turn it off. It's nice not to have to hold the button down, but also, it's frustrating when the kids engage the spray and it comes on the next time I turn on the faucet and don't expect it. ;-) As Breezy said, also, I only find splashing to be a problem with user error... When we hold things in the stream of water too high and too close to the faucet. I imagine it depends on the depth of the sink, too....But ours aren't super deep. (7-9")

Hansgrohe Prep Sink faucets?
Q
Comments (20)
I have a faucet that is by C-Tech-I that looks a lot like the Hansgrohe. I got the C-tech-I to avoid the higher cost of the Hansgrohe, and it is solid stainless steel. I have a sink from the same company and have been satisfied with it too. If I had to do it again I would get the Hansgrohe because the angle of my faucet is so straight down. I get a little bit of a splatter to the back counter. I have since rotated my handle to be oriented over the sink like Breezy and Cheri127 have. It helps keep the wet hand drips from getting all over the back of the counter. This picture is before my handle was repositioned: While I think mine is too tight of an angle, I love it otherwise. I really like the pull down feature over the pull out type. I think it is ergonomically easier.

The smaller version of the Blanco Culina should be out by December or January. I like the quality of the original enough that I'd be tempted to put in a cheap $30 box store faucet "for now" and then change it out when it became available.

Fouramblues and GreenDesigns, Thank you for those ideas. I should have put in my original post that my budget is $300. :/ Do you know of any that come in under that price point? Thanks for any suggestions!

My Moen Brantford prep faucet is about 13" high, taller than you mentioned but it fits very well under my upper cabinets which are about 18" over the counter. It's a high arc with a pullout sprayer and a single handle. It's a traditional(ish) design, but you might look at Moen's other prep/bar faucets if you prefer a more modern style. (p.s. The prices listed on the Moen and Kohler sites are higher than they are in the real world -- just in case you hadn't already realized that and in case it helps.)

I just went to ajmadison.com and searched for one-handled pullout (you won't find a pull down that short there) for $200-$300. There were plenty of options. So maybe have a look around some of the big online retailers to see if there's something you like.
