Pantry faucets are multi-functional – used in both cooking as well as cleaning.
Being one of the most frequently used components in a kitchen, you’ll want it to be durable and reliable.
Along with these, add a style quotient as well to your faucets.
Let’s get down to the basics first and at the end of it, you’ll be able to choose one that best suits your needs.
The Three Things – Mounting style, Water line connections, Nozzle
Mount type:
Wall-Mount style is fitted on the wall directly above the washbasin with only the nozzle protruding into it.
Double pantry wall mount swivel base
Has two levers for water – for hot and cold.
Swivel base allows movement so any of our swing nozzles can be used with this base.
Deck-Mount style is fixed directly on the kitchen sink and hence can be mounted on an island model too.

No water mixing possible within the faucet.
Water line connections:
Dual water lines – Hot and cold
- Centers – It is the length between the centers of the two water inlets on the base. It is to be selected depending on your kitchen’s water line spacing.
8” Centers
4” Centers
Single water inlet connection
Nozzle
It is the spout of the faucet mounted on the base. While there are numerous designs, the other differentiating characteristic is Movement.
Rigid spouts are fixed while Swing nozzles can be moved in different directions on a 180 degree plane.
Swing nozzles are also found in various lengths from 6” all the way up to 18”.
Before selecting a nozzle, carefully measure the length of the sink on 3 sides – right, left and front from the nozzle mounting point. Choose a length that is lesser than all the three dimensions but not too less either.
