A kitchen faucet and sprayer setup gives you a normal spout for filling pots plus a spray you can aim at plates, sink corners and produce. This page gathers more than 100 faucets where the spray is built in, either as a head that pulls out of the spout or as a separate hand spray mounted beside it. It suits busy cooks, households with a deep single-bowl sink, and anyone replacing an older faucet that already has a side spray hole in the counter.
Two Ways to Build a Kitchen Faucet and Sprayer
There are two basic designs, and they install differently.
- Integrated spray head. The head docks at the end of the spout and pulls down or out on a hose. Most titles here mention pull, down, spring or flexible, which tells you the spray lives in the spout. A weighted hose return snaps it back into place. If you want the tall, arched version only, our pull-down kitchen faucet page narrows the choice.
- Separate side spray. A kitchen faucet with side sprayer has a small hand wand in its own deck base, usually a few inches to the right of the main body. A diverter inside the faucet sends water to the wand when you squeeze it. This layout is common on older sinks and on many farmhouse-style faucets.
The integrated head gives a cleaner counter and one less hole to seal. The side spray keeps the main spout fixed and often gives a longer reach, because the hose is not limited by the height of the gooseneck.
Counting Sink and Counter Holes First
Look under the sink before you shop. The number of holes decides which faucets will fit without new drilling.
- One hole: choose a single handle kitchen faucet with sprayer built into the spout.
- Two holes: a single-handle faucet plus a separate side spray, or a faucet plus a soap pump.
- Three holes: many faucets include a deck plate (escutcheon) that covers the outer holes on a one-hole design, or you can use a two-handle bridge or widespread layout.
- Four holes: the classic combination is faucet, side spray and a kitchen faucet with sprayer and soap dispenser, with the fourth hole for an air gap or filtered water tap.
Measure the distance between the outer holes on three-hole sinks. A widespread kitchen faucet with sprayer typically needs about 8 inches between the hot and cold valves. Also check counter thickness, since most deck-mount faucets clamp to tops up to roughly 1 1/2 to 2 inches thick.
Copper, Stainless Steel and Brass Bodies
Where a body material is tagged in this range, copper and copper alloy lead, then stainless steel. Solid brass is also common in the titles. Brass and copper alloys are dense, resist corrosion and hold threads well, which is why they are standard for valve bodies. A stainless steel kitchen faucet with sprayer is lighter and naturally rust resistant, a sensible choice if you want a matching look with a stainless sink and appliances. For a warm, gold-toned metal look, browse our brass kitchen faucets as well.
Ceramic disc cartridges are the norm in single-lever valves. They resist drips better than older compression washers and only need replacing if the handle becomes stiff or the faucet starts to leak at the spout.
Picking a Finish That Suits the Kitchen
Black and copper tones are the two largest color groups here, with silver and gold close behind. A few points to weigh:
- Matte black reads modern and pairs with white or stone counters. It hides fingerprints but can show white mineral spots in hard-water areas. More options sit in our black kitchen faucets page.
- Copper brings a warm, rustic note. A copper kitchen faucet with sprayer works well with butcher block, cream cabinets and farmhouse sinks.
- Brushed nickel is the most forgiving finish for daily use. A brushed nickel kitchen faucet with sprayer hides water spots and blends with stainless appliances.
- Chrome and polished surfaces are bright and easy to wipe, though they show spots faster.
- Gold and satin brass finishes look best when repeated in cabinet pulls or lighting.
Spray Features That Make a Difference
Read the listing details for the features that matter to you:
- Dual or triple spray modes. Many heads switch between an aerated stream and a wider spray. A kitchen faucet head sprayer with a pause button is handy when you move between sink and counter.
- Spout height and reach. High-arc designs clear tall stock pots. Check clearance under any upper cabinet or window sill.
- Swivel range. A 360-degree swivel helps on double-bowl sinks.
- Spring spouts. An exposed coil holds the hose in a commercial-style frame, giving the longest reach for big sinks.
- Soap dispenser. Some sets include a matching pump that installs in a spare hole.
What These Faucets Cost
List prices on this page start at around $15 for replacement spray parts and run to about $410 for the most detailed faucets. Most complete faucets sit between about $110 and $280 per listed item, with the middle of the range near $150. Roughly half of the listings show as in stock at any given time, so check the availability note on each product.
Installing a Kitchen Faucet with Sprayer
Installation is a manageable DIY job if the shutoff valves under the sink work. Turn off both supplies, open the old faucet to release pressure, and disconnect the supply lines. Remove the mounting nuts, lift out the old faucet and clean the deck. Set the new base or deck plate, feed the lines through, tighten the mounting hardware from below, and connect the spray hose to its quick-connect fitting. Attach the hose weight at the low point of the hose loop so the head retracts smoothly. Before reconnecting the head, run the water for a minute to flush debris out of the lines, then check every joint for drips.

Kitchen Faucets with Sprayer FAQ
Is a pull-down head or a side sprayer better?
A pull-down head is the more popular choice for new kitchens because it needs only one hole and keeps the counter clear. A side sprayer suits sinks that already have the extra hole and cooks who want a fixed spout. Both rinse dishes well; the choice is mostly about layout.
Can I replace a side sprayer faucet with a single-hole pull-down?
Yes. Use a model with a deck plate to cover the unused holes, or fit a hole cover or soap dispenser in the spare opening. Make sure the deck plate is wide enough for your hole spread.
Why does my side sprayer have weak pressure?
The most common causes are a clogged aerator in the spray head, a kinked hose under the sink, or a worn diverter in the faucet body. Soak the head in vinegar to dissolve mineral buildup, straighten the hose, and replace the diverter if pressure stays low.
What is the best kitchen sink faucet with sprayer for a farmhouse sink?
Deep apron-front sinks benefit from a high-arc spout and a long hose so the spray reaches every corner. A farmhouse kitchen faucet with sprayer in copper, bronze or matte black also tends to match the style of these sinks.
Do these faucets come with supply lines?
Most single-handle models include flexible supply hoses and mounting hardware. Check the listing details, and measure the distance to your shutoff valves, since longer runs may need extension lines.
