Kitchen Sink Faucet

ddetar

I have a 2015 TAB CS-S model.  We went on our first camping trip this weekend.  One of the issues we had was how the faucet in the kitchen sink empties so close to the back wall of the sink that it is hard to rinse dishes without half the water ending up on the surface where the faucet and knobs are.   Does anyone have a suggest on how to extend the water to the center of the sink;  adapter, faucet change out, etc.?

The easiest (and cheapest) is to replace the aerator with a swivel variety.  Another option is to replace the entire faucet with another 4" OC (on-center) bathroom faucet.  The coolest thing I've seen is to replace it with a single handle kitchen faucet AND an in-the-counter soap dispenser.  The faucet uses one hole and the dispenser the other.

Swivel aerator from your friendly local hardware store: $8

Water actually landing in the sink: priceless!

I wish I could use a swivel aerator, but my 2016 T@B S that arrived at the dealer on March 1st, has no threads to screw an aerator into. The existing nozzle just pops in with an O-ring holding it in!

I also had the same problem, I replaced the  plastic factory faucet with this Price Pfister brass bar sink faucet. I found it on clearance at Home depot for $32.00 with the soap dispenser, the aerator twists to make a stream on spray, with the single handle it is very easy to control the water flow, and yes the towel holder is a TP holder . When doing this mod, be sure not to get a faucet that is to tall or it will hit the front window shade/screen.

That is really nice looking Pop-T@B.

Pop what is height from counter  to top of that faucet were it begins to bends.

Thanks for the suggestions.  The aerator certainly is an easy and cheap fix.  Love this forum.

Tonydjd,  the curve starts at 9.5" and it just touches the metal bar on the shades when you open or close them. I would suggest something around 8-8.5" would be a better fit. I just couldnt pass up the $100 savings on this claerance faucet

I decided to put in the SMEV have more flat space to put things when not using the sink.
Was more work then I thought but was worth it after it was completed.

Just replaced mine. Found one at Campingworld for $40.00. A bit pricey for what it is but installed in 5 minutes flat! Now the faucet is centered on the sink.

This came standard in my Sofitel.  Love it for the same reasons as Tony. I cover the glass lids with dish drying mats to protect the glass and have my keurig up there along with dry food supplies.
