Copper Kitchen Faucet with Pull-Out Sprayer, Traditional Style

An all-copper pull-out kitchen faucet in a traditional style. Solid copper construction with a ceramic disc valve core, which gives smooth handle action and holds up against dripping.

The valve seat is 1 3/8″, which fits most standard sink openings. The sprayer pulls out for rinsing produce and filling pots off to the side.

Weighs about 5 lbs. Available in brushed gold, polished chrome, metal gray, matte black, and brushed copper. Some finishes are made to order, so contact us on availability.

Installation

Plan on an hour for a first-timer. You will want a basin wrench, an adjustable wrench, a bucket and a flashlight. Clear everything out from under the sink before you start.

1. Close both shutoff valves under the sink, then open the old faucet to release pressure. Put the bucket underneath.
2. Disconnect the hot and cold supply lines from the old faucet. Reach the mounting nuts up behind the basin with the basin wrench and back them off, then lift the old faucet out.
3. Scrape the old putty or caulk off the sink deck and wipe it clean so the new gasket seats flat.
4. Feed the new faucet hoses and the threaded shank down through the sink hole. Seat the deck gasket or plate underneath the faucet body as your hardware calls for.
5. From below, slide on the washer and mounting nut and tighten. Keep the faucet lined up square with the back of the sink while you snug it down.
6. Connect the supply lines. Hot goes to the left inlet, cold to the right. Hand-tighten, then a quarter to half turn with the wrench. These use rubber washers or cone seals, so do not crank on them.
7. Snap the pull-out hose onto the spout outlet until you hear it click, then tug it to confirm it is locked. Clip the counterweight onto the hose where it hangs free and does not rub the cabinet or the drain.
8. Open both shutoffs slowly. Check every joint for weeping with the flashlight.
9. Unscrew the aerator, run hot and cold for a minute to flush debris out of the lines, then put the aerator back. Skipping this is the usual reason a new faucet trickles.

Use and care

Pull the sprayer head out to the length you need and let it go when you are done. The counterweight draws the hose back into the spout on its own. If it stops retracting, the weight has usually slipped down the hose or the hose is catching on something under the sink.

Wipe the finish with a damp cloth. If flow weakens, unscrew the aerator and rinse the screen. Do not use abrasive pads or bleach on the finish.

Faucet only. Kitchen sink strainer not included.
