American Standard Kitchen Faucet Buying Guide

If you're shopping for kitchen faucets, there might be no better bargain than an American Standard Kitchen Faucet

.

With their sleek, modern design and stellar reputation for reliability, American Standard kitchen faucets represent a popular-if slightly underrated-product in the standalone and wall mounted kitchen faucet industry.

But wait! You're saying, "which American Standard faucet do I buy?" Worry not, intrepid shopper. Here are few tips to buying the best kitchen faucets money can buy.

Tip No.1: Compression Faucets

This is the basic no-frills faucet that's been around the longest and is in a majority of American homes.

These popular faucets employ a handle, which when turned moves an internal stem up and down to produce water flow.

Compression faucets usually have a pretty basic feature set; they are cheaper because their pivot point is based on the washer. (This makes them prone to leaking.)

The exception is actually american standard faucets. They use something called Nuseal faucets, which rotate the washers vertically--they dont' rotate them. This leads a to a faucet and washer that lives longer...and saves you big money.

Tip No.2: Ball and Chain

Washerless faucets, or ball faucets, work with a handle which is then connected to cap. The ball inside the faucet controls the tempearature as well as the volume of water.

Now ball faucets are spendier than washer faucets. But because American standard kitchen faucets last a lot longer--and the parts are really easy to acess--these kinds of faucets tend to be a great investments in the long run.

Tip No.3: Disc Faucets

Though American Standard kitchen faucets generally leak less than other brands, you can't guarantee there won't be any leaks. Or that's what I thought until we put an American Standard disc faucet in my granny flat. This thing is an impregnable fortress of faucet awesomeness.

Generally these faucets use a single lever that is placed above the base of the faucet. Inside is a ceramic disc which virtually ensures there will be no leaking. Just check out the Amazon reviews to see how happy people are with these awesome faucets.How
