faucet recs for extra large sink

2 years ago

I only want to do one faucet for my 45” 50/50 split sink. We tend to do a lot of handwashing, and wanted a sink that would fit a sheet pan and our skillets with the handles flat etc.
I am worried that I’ll pick a faucet that doesn’t pull down enough to reach the outer edges. Any recommendations? I’m leaning toward the moen cia commercial style faucet, but it’s super tall at 24” high. It’s one of the only ones I’ve found that has an extra long hose. Just not sure if it’s overkill. And it also doesn’t come with touchless functionality which we would prefer. TIA!

If you mount your faucet in the middle you should be able to spray both sides. 22.5” either way, you don’t need the pull out to reach the far corners, the water stream will.

Touchless is one of the main reasons for dissatisfaction with kitchen faucets. They tend to need a lot of replacement parts and repairs. My plumber claims he has removed more of them than he has installed, so I stopped asking about them. 😂

why not go for a single sink, so you can fit your largest pans in there.

I agree about the single sink and how about an articulating faucet like the Karbon

I learned that you can move the weight further down on any faucet hose and that extends the reach in case anyone else was looking for a similar answer

Why do you want almost 4' of sink? That's kinda overkill for a typical residential kitchen.

This board isn't united on much, but it solidly stands behind single sinks. Positives: Less plumbing underneath = more storage ... no side without a garbage disposal ... large pots and pans are easier to wash.

I understand both wanting the extra large sink, and having it divided. I have a single sink in our lower level "summer kitchen". I went with a 28" single basin Ruvati. (The smaller sink was a trade off for more counter space.)

But in the main kitchen, I'm planning for an extra large sink with a low divide.

To the OP, why do you want the squared off corners in your sink? I think there've been a few comments about them being hard to keep clean.

I have a new Kohler Crue faucet with pull-down spray and... it does not have a magnetic fitting that "snaps" the sprayer back in place. I wish I had noticed that when I was shopping for faucets. Just a thought.
