American Standard Kitchen Faucet Buying Guide

American Standard Kitchen Faucet Buying Guide

When you're looking to purchase a kitchen faucet, there might be no better choice for frugal shoppers than an American Standard kitchen faucet.

With their modern looks--no space age aesthetics--and great repuation for reliablity, American standard kitchen faucets are great options for shoppers looking for high-end performance at a mid-level price.

But if you're not sure which faucet to get--or are new to the whole kitchen faucet buying process--here are a few tips to finding the best kitchen faucet for your needs.

Tip No.1: Compression

This is probably the type of faucet most people have. (It's a bare-bones faucet that's been around forever and everybody is familiar with it.)

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

Faucets of these kind are usually basic in the features they offer--mostly because their pivot point if focused on the washer. (A fact that makes them prone to leaking.)

Yet American standard faucets seem to break that rule. They are made with Nuseal faucets, which move the washer not by rotating but with vertical movement. THis saves wear and tear, and keeps your facuet running much longer. (And saving you money.)

Tip No.2: Ball

Ball faucets are generally known as "washerless" faucets. Unlike the compression faucet, these employ a handle which connects to a dome-shaped cap. The ball-usually made of plastic or metal-inside the faucet controls the water, as well as the temparature.

Though more expensive than compression faucets, American Standard ball faucets require less repair work, and when they do need to be fixed, such as my own American Standard wall mounted faucet, the parts are easily accessible and cut way down on repair bills.

Tip No.3: Disc Faucets (The Best)

Even the best faucets leak. Right? Well...it turns out the American standard faucets with the discs are nearly impossible to leak.

These faucets use a lever that is installed directly above the base of the faucet. Inside you'll see a ceramic disc that is almost impervious to leaking. DOn't believe me...read the reviews on Amazon. They're great. Just like the rest of the American standard kitchen faucet line.
