Bar Faucet and Prep Sink Faucet Buying Guides
What is a bar faucet?
Bar faucets are larger than a bathroom faucet and smaller than your kitchen faucet, making them perfect for your custom beverage center or rec space.Discover all the key features of bar faucet and prep sink faucets and choose the best hardware for your prep area or home bar
Whether you’re designing a small prep sink in your kitchen island, a convenient bar sink for your home bar, or an outdoor space to wash-up while grilling out, a bar faucet is going to become an essential part of the design.
With so many different options available, choosing the best one for your build really comes down to knowing what to look for.
How to Feature a Bar Faucet in Your Home
Making a splash in your home can be as easy as utilizing a bar and prep sink and faucet properly. Get inspired by checking out our favorite ways to incorporate this little convenience into your home design.
Home Bar
Perhaps the most obvious way to feature a small sink and faucet in your home is to feature it as part of your home bar area. Some of our favorite home wet bar ideas include featuring a bar in a rec room, adding a wet bar to a butler pantry, or showcasing a small beverage center in a master bedroom retreat.
Garden Prep Sink
These small sinks aren’t just a great idea for wet bars, they are also a phenomenal addition to a gardening center in a garage or on a back patio. It provides the perfect place to fill a watering can, rinse your gardening tools, and more.
Kitchen Prep Sink
Every kitchen has a large kitchen faucet and sink where you can wash the dishes. Adding a prep sink to a kitchen island or butler pantry is a great way to create an auxiliary work area. Wash vegetables, create custom beverages, and complete simple clean-ups without messing with your larger sink. You can even plug up the sink and fill it with ice to display bottled and canned beverages for a home party.
Bar Faucet Measurements
Making sure the prep sink faucet is the ideal fit for the space really comes down to a couple key measurements. Before you make your final selections, check out each of these dimensions and measure the area you have to ensure they’ll pair well with the space.
Spout Reach
The spout reach is the horizontal distance measured from the center of the faucet base to the stream of water that comes down from the spout. You’ll want to compare this measurement to the depth measurement of the bar sink paired with the faucet.
Spout Height
The spout height is the vertical measurement from the bottom of the faucet base to the lowest part of the spout. This measurement will help you determine the amount of clearance you have for pots, pans, and glassware below the faucet.
Faucet Height
This is the total height from the lowest part of the faucet to the highest part of the faucet. This measurement can be incredibly important if there are upper cabinets above the bar faucet or if sight lines over the countertop are important to the design of the space.
Centers
Faucets mount into a series of holes in the sink edge or countertop. The measurement from the center of the outside holes is referred to as the “faucet centers.” Make sure the faucet you choose is compatible with the center measurements of your pre-drilled holes.
While bar faucets may not necessarily be kitchen essentials, they can be an incredibly functional and convenient addition to the overall design. Learning how to choose a bar faucet is just one of the things you’ll need to create a functional work area. Every bar faucet requires a prep sink or bar sink mounted below. When you want to enhance the functionality of your new prep sink area, consider adding other appliances into the mix, such as a compact dishwasher, wine cooler, or kegerator.
