Kitchen Faucet Buying Guide
Find Your Perfect Fit
Serving as a focal point of your kitchen and the heartbeat of its functionality, kitchen faucets do much more than run water. With our all-encompassing guide, learn how to choose a kitchen faucet that truly fits your life and your style—including installation types, features, finishes, and more.
Kitchen Faucet Installation Types
With numerous installation options available, the right kitchen faucet for your space is largely dependent on two factors: where it’s mounted and the number of holes drilled into that mounting surface. If the holes have yet to be drilled, this is where your desired look comes in.
Note: Most kitchen faucets are deck-mounted, meaning they’re installed either on the countertop or sink—dictated by the installation type of your kitchen sink.
Single-hole kitchen faucets are installed through one hole in the countertop or sink. They may have a single handle or two handles and are often available with decorative deck plates to cover any unneeded predrilled holes. This streamlined faucet style adds a sleek, minimalistic touch to any kitchen.

Bridge faucets mount to the countertop via three-hole installation, featuring an above-counter “bridge” that connects the hot and cold water supplies. The first faucet type to exist, bridge faucets bring inherent charm to kitchens of all styles, offered today in silhouettes from classic to modern.

Widespread faucets are also designed for three-hole installation. They have three separate pieces: two handles and a spout, with the spacing between the handles 8 inches on average. This faucet type often presents a classic look, creating a stunning symmetrical focal point.

If mounting to the counter isn’t for you, consider a wall-mount kitchen faucet. Mounting to the wall above the sink, this faucet style is a great option if you want to preserve countertop space and promote effortless cleanup. As installing a wall-mount faucet may require relocating existing plumbing, be sure to consult a professional if unfamiliar.

Kitchen Faucet Functions & Features
Separated by functions and features for modern living, these types of kitchen faucets offer distinctive spray options—designed to elevate your experience, your way.
Pull-down faucets feature an extendable hose accessed by pulling downward, providing precise rinsing control and reaching tricky areas with ease. Often equipped with multi-function spray heads, these faucets seamlessly alternate between a standard spray and targeted aerated stream. Pull-down faucets generally hide the extendable hose within their body, creating a clean, uncluttered look when not in use.

A type of pull-down faucet, spring-spout faucets feature a flexible extended hose that is kept exposed. Encased in a coil spring, this commercial-inspired faucet allows you to effortlessly reach every area of your sink while adding an industrial touch. An instant attention-grabber, spring-spout faucets are perfect for busy kitchens with flair.

Much like pull-down faucets, pull-out faucets feature an extendable hose that resides in the body. However, these fixtures don’t tend to be as tall, as they are pulled outward instead of downward. These faucets are a great option for those with overhead cabinets that still want added reach.

Side sprays accompany both modern and traditional kitchen faucets, featuring a separate piece that allows for spray functionality apart from the faucet itself. Additionally, kitchen faucets with sprayer attachments are offered in both deck-mount and wall-mount options.

Spout Height Tip: The higher the arc of your faucet, the more room you have below for shimmying large pots around. While the lower the arc, the less obstructed of a view it creates in front of a window, for instance. Measure your sink area to determine the right faucet height for your desired look and functionality.
Extras: Faucets for Pots, Bars, & Patios
Water doesn’t have to stop flowing at the kitchen faucet. Whether you’re seeking additional rinsing access in the kitchen or beyond, these fixtures have you covered.
Most commonly offered in wall-mount styles, pot fillers make it easy to access water in places other than your kitchen sink. They are typically installed above your stove to provide an efficient, spill-free cooking experience—though they can be clever solutions for coffee nooks, pet watering stations, and more.

The kitchen faucet’s low-profile counterpart, bar faucets are perfect for petite kitchens, wet bars, and prep areas. For added convenience, options include pull-down spouts that tuck away within the faucet’s body to carry on the minimally invasive look.

Sink faucets typically come one of three ways: with flexible braided hoses, with copper supply tubes, or with threaded shanks. Each variety is tried and true, however there are differences between them that are important to know.
Copper is an extremely durable, rust-resistant metal that has been used in plumbing applications for decades. Copper supply tubes are pre-attached into the base of the faucet. Although not as flexible as the braided hose alternative, copper can be slightly manipulated to attach to flexible connectors (sold separately), which then connect to the water source. Bending should be carefully done to avoid kinking or cracking the metal.
Flexible braided hoses are most commonly used in plumbing today because of their ease of installation. Their adaptability makes them perfect for tight or cluttered spaces, as they can be routed and connected to the shutoff valves as needed without the risk of cracking or breaking. This type of water line is made of a rubber tube wrapped in meshed and braided stainless steel.
Some faucets will not come with water lines provided, and will possess a pair of threaded shanks from the hot and cold stems. If this is the case, then you get to choose which type of water line to use in your setting. Water lines can be sourced from any local hardware or plumbing supply store, and both copper and flexible braided options should be available.
