American Standard Kitchen Faucets

American Standard kitchen faucets on this page include pull-down and pull-out spray faucets, 2-handle designs, gooseneck spouts and bar faucets for a prep or island sink. Examples include the Beale Single-Handle Pull-Down Dual Spray Kitchen Faucet, the Colony PRO 2-Handle Kitchen Faucet, the Monterrey Single-Handle Gooseneck Kitchen Faucet and the Studio S Pull-Down Bar Faucet. Series represented here include Colony, Monterrey, Studio, Beale, Delancey and Estate, so you can look for a style that suits a traditional, transitional or modern kitchen.

Finish options offered include Polished Chrome, Stainless Steel, Matte Black, Polished Nickel, SuperSteel and Brushed Cool Sunrise, which helps when you want the faucet to match an existing sink, cabinet pulls or appliances. Before you choose, check how many holes your sink or countertop has, how much clearance sits between the sink and any window ledge or upper cabinet, and whether a touchless or dual spray option would suit the way you cook and clean. A bar faucet is worth a look if you are adding a second sink for prep or entertaining.

What to check before you buy

• Count the holes in your sink. Single-handle and 2-handle faucets need different hole layouts, and some setups use a deck plate to cover extra openings. Check what your sink or countertop already has before you order.
• Check clearance for tall spouts. Gooseneck and high-arc spouts need room above the sink, so measure to any window sill, shelf or upper cabinet behind the faucet.
• Pull-down, pull-out or fixed spout. Pull-down sprays suit deep sinks and rinsing large pots, while pull-out heads work well where overhead space is tight. A fixed spout keeps things simple for a bar or prep sink.
• Match the finish to the room. Compare the faucet finish with your sink, cabinet hardware and appliances, and remember that darker finishes show water spots differently than chrome or stainless.
• Think about handle style. A single lever is easy to use with a full hand, while 2-handle and wrist blade designs give separate hot and cold control that some cooks prefer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a pull-down and a pull-out kitchen faucet?

A pull-down faucet has a high spout with a spray head that pulls straight down into the sink, which is handy for filling pots. A pull-out faucet has a lower spout and a head that pulls toward you, which fits better under low cabinets or windows.

Will a single-handle faucet fit my existing sink holes?

It depends on how many holes your sink or counter has and whether the faucet you choose comes with a deck plate to cover spares. Check the hole layout and the faucet's installation details before buying.

Can I use a bar faucet as my main kitchen faucet?

Bar faucets are smaller and are designed for prep or secondary sinks, so they can feel limited at a main sink. For a full-size kitchen sink, a standard kitchen faucet with a spray function is usually the better choice.
