TOP 5 kitchen taps with pull-out spout

Thanks to its wide range of colors, the kitchen faucet with a pull-out spout from the Swiss manufacturer Franke Sirius will be a harmonious addition to the Franke sink. The classic version of the chrome-plated faucet is perfect for stainless steel sinks, and the coloured models will be a single unit with granite sinks. At the same time, in all 8 versions of granite-coated kitchen faucets, the conical rim of the base, the shut-off valve lever and the retractable watering can are made with a shiny chrome surface.

The Franke Sirius faucet is designed for horizontal installation and has a rectangular design with a L-shaped circular swivel spout 210 mm long, which is located on a short cylindrical body. The device allows you to control the pressure and temperature of the water using the side single-lever joystick with a ceramic cartridge ∅ 35 mm. The faucet offers wide freedom of action thanks to its large jet height of 310 mm and a retractable spout on a flexible hose that allows you to conveniently fill tall and deep containers that do not fit in the sink. The disadvantage of the model is the lack of a shower head. Included with the device are two flexible hoses for connection with a length of 480 mm. Contrary to expectations from a brand known for the high quality of its products, the faucet is only covered by a 2-year warranty.

The Elleci Venere pull-out kitchen faucet is an elegant and rather compact sink solution, crafted by masters of Italian industrial design. The short body, together with the upper lever of the shut-off valve, has a height of only 155 mm, and the straight swivel spout, located at an angle to the body, makes the outlet with aerator a distance of 200 mm. The low jet height of just 120 mm is compensated for by the pull-out spout with a large ball head that can be used as a jet or shower. To do this, there is a jet type switch on the shower head.

A special feature of Venere faucets is that in addition to the traditional chrome-plated version, the model has two coating options, for which the manufacturer gives a 10-year warranty. It should not be confused with the general 1 year product warranty. The surface of the appliances with Granitek epoxy powder coating based on granite and acrylic resin particles, which make up a durable composite, is resistant to impact and high temperatures. Outwardly, this surface is indistinguishable from ordinary stone. The Metaltek coating, similar in composition, has metal particles added to give the surface a characteristic sheen. Both types of coatings have a high hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, and also contain silver ions, which are harmful to bacteria. The model has 3 colors with Metaltek coating and 7 colors with Granitek coating.

The kitchen single-lever mixer of the German manufacturer Blanco LINUS-S is made in a classic design, dominated by cylindrical pipes. The vertical body, the rectangular spout, the retractable tip on the flexible hose with a metal braid and the side block of the shut-off valve with a handle - all have a strict cylinder shape. The model is designed for desktop mounting on a single hole in the sink ∅ 35 mm. For greater stability of the vertical structure of the device, the height of which is 284 mm, the housing is provided with a disk substrate ∅ 45 mm. The mounting base, as well as the aerator of the device, regardless of the color version, is made with a chrome coating.

The rotation of the spout is limited to 140°, which does not prevent the faucet from successfully performing its functions. The retractable part of the faucet can operate in normal jet mode or in shower mode, which is easily switched by a selector located at the bottom of the watering can. The device is equipped with a ceramic cartridge and two non-return valves that prevent the return of water when the pressure drops in the water supply. The unit is supplied with 2 flexible hoses 450 mm long with 3/8 nut, which often do not meet the pipe standard in many homes.

The mixer is made in 17 colors with the following coatings: metal colors: chrome and stainless steel; ceramic colors: black, basalt, glossy white, magnolia white; Silgranit colors: anthracite, dark rock, aluminium metallic, pearl, white, jasmine, champagne, gray beige, nutmeg, coffee; special color: matte black.

The well-known German manufacturer, continuing to improve the popular line of Eurostyle faucets, released in 2019 a model with a pull-out spout for kitchen sinks Grohe Eurostyle Cosmopolitan New 31482. A rather high design with an arcuate spout that can rotate around an axis by 360 ° provides a jet height of 188 mm. The water leaving the aerator pours out at an angle of 10°. The aerator is equipped with SpeedClean silicone inserts for quick decalcification. On the front side of the retractable head there is a mode switch button that allows you to choose between a laminar jet or a shower stream. The pull-out spout is easy to remove and put back in place thanks to GROHE EasyDock technology.

The housing is made from GROHE Zero low lead nickel alloy. This brass is not afraid of corrosion and is the best suited for drinking water. The faucet is equipped with a proprietary SilkMove ∅ 35 mm ceramic cartridge, which has Teflon surfaces that provide a soft and smooth glide throughout the entire service life. The built-in non-return valve guarantees a constant pressure regardless of the pressure in the water supply. A neat paddle control lever located on the side allows you to conveniently adjust the pressure and temperature of the water.

The company, not seeking to imitate other manufacturers in the abundance of colors, offers this model with a durable and wear-resistant GROHE StarLight coating in a single color - shiny chrome. The lack of wide variations in color performance can be counted among the shortcomings of the device. Ease of installation with the GROHE QuickFix quick installation system saves up to 40% time without sacrificing quality.

The German kitchen faucet Hansgrohe Focus 31815 belongs to the updated collection of Focus M41 products, keeping the best traditions of the brand. This is a single-lever model with an arched pull-out spout, made in a pragmatic classic design. The model has only three types of colors: chrome, steel and matte black. The simplicity of appearance should not be misleading - this is a premium quality faucet that will cost 1.5 times more than analogues of well-known brands.

The swivel spout of the appliance has a limited axial movement angle of 150°, which is not a big problem due to the retractable design of the handpiece with the 500 mm Quick-Connect hose. Together with a high jet of 225 mm with a 20° outlet, they provide a comfortable radius of the ComfortZone. The retractable tip is easily removed from the fixed part of the spout and effortlessly returns to the back, silently fixing in its original position with the help of a powerful MagFit magnet. The watering can of the mixer can work in 2 modes - a shower or a normal water flow. Fixing the shower jet and returning to laminar flow is done with a simple switch of a button on the pull-out spout. And removing limescale deposits from the silicone protrusions of the QuickClean aerator is done with a flick of your fingers.

The device is equipped with a ceramic mixing unit and a check valve. Taking into account the fact that the recommended operating pressure in the supply pipeline should be in the range of 1 - 5 bar, a water return valve will not be an extra attribute here. The handle with control lever is securely attached to the cartridge with a Boltic mount, preventing it from becoming loose during operation. The faucet installation kit includes G 3/8" flexible hoses. The manufacturer gives a 5-year warranty for this kitchen faucet.
