A side spray kitchen faucet pairs a dedicated spray head with a separate deck-mounted faucet body, giving you two independent controls at the sink. Plumbtile carries side sprayers from respected names including Newport Brass, Waterstone, and Graff, offering finishes and configurations that complement both traditional and transitional kitchen designs. Whether you are outfitting a new kitchen or replacing an aging setup, this collection provides functional and aesthetic options worth considering.
Why Choose Side Spray Kitchen Faucets
The side spray kitchen faucet format suits kitchens where task separation matters. Rinsing produce, clearing debris from a deep farmhouse sink, or directing water precisely into a tall stockpot becomes more manageable when the spray function operates independently from the main faucet. This configuration also works well in kitchens with existing three-hole or four-hole sink decks, making it a practical choice during renovations where the sink is being retained. Brands like Waterstone build side sprayers with commercial-grade hose systems that hold up under daily use.
What to Look For
When selecting a side spray kitchen faucet, consider these key factors:
Deck configuration: Confirm your sink has the correct number of pre-drilled holes. A side sprayer typically requires an additional hole beyond what a standard single-hole faucet uses. Measure hole spacing carefully before purchasing.
Hose length and material: Braided stainless steel hoses resist kinking and last longer than plastic alternatives. Look for hoses rated for at least 500,000 cycles if longevity is a priority.
Spray head construction: Solid brass bodies resist corrosion and feel more substantial than zinc alloy versions. Newport Brass and Graff both offer solid brass side sprayers in a range of coordinating finishes.
Finish matching: Because the side sprayer sits alongside your primary faucet, finish consistency matters. Confirm the sprayer is available in the same finish family as your chosen faucet from our full kitchen faucets collection.
Valve quality: A ceramic disc valve in the sprayer body reduces dripping and requires less maintenance over time than older compression-style valves.
