A Guide to Find the Right Kitchen Faucet

Choosing a faucet is largely a matter of performance and looks, although there are a few other considerations that you need to make, with cost being one of them. The prices of RV kitchen faucets range from $25 to about $200, depending on the faucet type, style, features and finish.  The natural way to go would be to opt for the most durable faucet available in the style of your choice. 

Considerations

Regardless of the style that you choose, make sure that you consider all important aspects of the faucet, such as mechanics, mount, spout, knob, and of course, finish.

Mechanics

Most shoppers fail to appreciate the importance of this consideration and exert their energies on other elements.  Such a decision will come back to haunt you as the mechanics of a faucet are directly related to its durability. At the center of faucet mechanics is a choice between the ball, cartridge and ceramic disc types. All the three options are a washerless which makes them immune to leaks.

Mount

It is important to ensure that your choice of faucet matches up with the holes in the counter or sink. This state of affairs can be modified through the installation of base plates to cover holes that are no longer required. The end result might not be as pleasing to the eye as you may wish and it all depends on the quality of work that has been carried out.

Spout

It is important that the spout reach covers the entire sink. You can make sure this happens by making the right choice when you buy your faucet. Most people are now opting for spouts that double as pull-out sprayers. These make the task of rinsing food, cleaning the sink and filling pots a walk in the park. 

Finish

If you need to go for the least expensive type of finish then you will most probably settle for a chrome finish. There is however no denying that it has become something of an outdated style with new offerings on the market such as brushed chrome, copper, oiled bronze, satin nickel among many others.   

Limitations

There are different limitations that exist regarding your choice of Faucet depending on your profile.

• If you are doing a makeover of your mobile home, the limitations are restricted to your budget as you can fashion your kitchen in whatever way you want. This includes the plumbing and holes configuration as well as the theme. 
• If you are engaging in a simple replacement of your faucet, you will be limited by the prevailing configurations and theme.  Minor changes can however be accommodated by attaching adapters to the water lines.
