Faucet Buying Guide
Topics Covered in this guide:
Choosing the faucet that's right for your needs. 
Step 1: Determine The Requirements of Your Sink, Countertop or
Wall.There are several different types of faucets. Faucets that are referred to as deck mounted
or as workboard faucets,
mount either flush with your countertop or sink. These faucets are very common in residential settings but can be used in a
commercial setting.
Faucets that are referred to as wall
mounted or splash mounted, mount against the back splash of a sink or countertop or directly against a wall. Remember
it is always a good idea to have a licensed plumber in your area
install your new or replacement faucet. Also remember that once a
faucet has been installed it cannot be returned. This policy is
discussed in our faucet sales policy.
I Need A Deck Mounted / Workboard Faucet: If you are buying a new faucet or replacing an old faucet you should begin by counting the number of holes in your sink. Typically a sink has two holes to allow for the supply lines to pass through. Some sinks however, may have a single hole and would require a special single hole faucet. Generally a single hole faucet will connect only to a single hot or cold water supply. On our site a faucet will require a sink with two holes, connect to hot and cold supply lines, unless otherwise specified. If your sink requires a two hole faucet you will need to measure from the center of one hole to the center of the other hole to determine what size faucet you need. Faucets come in two different sizes, 4 inch center and 8 inch center. Instructions for measuring center distance can be found bellow. I Need A Wall / Splash Mounted Faucet: If you are replacing an old faucet you should begin by counting the number of holes in your wall. Typically a faucet will require two holes however some may only require a single hole and you would need to purchase a special single hole faucet. Generally a single hole faucet will only connect to a single hot or cold water supply. If you are buying a faucet for new construction you will have the most flexibility as you will be able to have a plumber install your faucet to your specifications without major remodeling. On our site a faucet will require two holes, connect to hot and cold supply lines, unless otherwise specified. If your installation requires a two hole faucet you will need to measure from the center of one hole to the center of the other hole to determine what size faucet you need. Faucets come in two different sizes, 4 inch center and 8 inch center. Instructions for measuring center distance can be found bellow.
Step 2: Determine if there are specific health department regulations in your
area.
Many areas have specific Health Department Regulations which must be followed when installing a new faucet.
Often when a faucet will be used to wash soiled cookware, utensils, or dishes a special part called a
vacuum breaker must either be built into your faucet or
installed as an add on to a faucet. A vacuum breaker prevents soiled
water from contaminating your fresh water supply. In addition many
health departments will require an NSF
or CSA approved faucet.
Step 3: Choose the right faucet:
Faucets are available with a variety of different spout options ranging
from Double-Jointed to Gooseneck.
On our site we offer two manufacture's faucets, Krowne Metal and T&S
Brass. Both manufacturers offer comparable products and many of their parts are
interchangeable.
When choosing a faucet it is less important to focus on brand then it is to find the faucet which meets your needs.*
In general all faucets sold through our website will come with Lever
Handles which are easier to operate in a fast paced setting.
Additionally, all Krowne Royal Series faucets offer removable
cartridge valves.** All Krowne Royal
Series and all T&S faucets are NSF approved. Be sure to select
a faucet which meets the requirements outlined above and remember to
view our policy with regard to faucet returns.
* When buying a Krowne product, check to see if the faucet is in the "Royal Series". If so it is guaranteed to be interchangeable with T&S products. ** Unless specified as a Krowne Royal series product no other faucets on our site are guaranteed to offer this feature.
