Is there a difference between a kitchen sink and a bathroom sink faucet?
Yes! Absolutely! Although they’re both very similar in primary design, a kitchen sink varies greatly from a bathroom sink. For starters, most kitchen sinks are double basin with the faucet positioned on the back lip between both sinks. As a result, the spigot of a kitchen sink is rotational. This is not the case with most bathroom sinks. Even in the case where there are two sinks, normally each sink has its own faucet which is positioned behind each sink. Since each faucet doesn’t need to move, the spigot of a bathroom sink traditionally doesn’t move. However more modern bathroom sinks offer some range of movement. So if you’re shopping for a new kitchen sink, stick to those designed for kitchen sink use.
