SINK FAUCET
Description: These vary greatly; the two general types are those that have separate hot- and cold-water handles of various shapes, and those that have a single-handle control.
Buying information: All the information about lavatory faucets applies to kitchen-sink faucets. Washerless faucets are the most economical; they last longer than others because there is less friction between the mating parts.
How-to hint: One thing many amateur installers forget to do is to bed the faucet deck in stainless-steel putty. It is thought that the faucet's plastic gasket is all that is required, but it isn't, and leaks can occur without the putty.
