I have a splash behind the faucet, does the faucet handle/control go only forward towards the sink to get & cold water?

Another answer to Robert Moor from Friederike: Robert, when you open the faucet to the left - almost inside space - you can see little lines from all read (becoming smaller) to all blue. Actually, this faucet operates the opposite from other one handle faucets, where cold is way up. I like to leave the handle all the way down so cold comes first, which I use most. Also, I have removed the weight (saving it, however, if I change my mind) so I can hang the faucet down without having to hold it when doing a longer job. Hope this helps, F.

There is enough room. The handle goes into a straigh up position for the warmest water. Does not go backwards.

YES. it becomes colder as you move towards the sink; all the way forward all cold.

Yes, the handle returns to vertical but does not go backward. It goes forward to get both hot and cold water.

Yes, cold water control goes forward. At most, the handle may go about 1 cm behind the faucet. We have backsplash and had the same concerns but there is plenty of clearance (1 3/4 inches) between backsplash and base of faucet.

The faucet has a 360 spin. I suppose you could install it on the left but then everything would be reversed...for example the hot would be in the forward position and cold would be in the back position.

Yes! It moves side to side. The only downfall is you have to learn to gauge when to start turning it off, as it continues to run a little until it shuts off, not like your typical faucet. Still like it lots.

Hi Jen, No, the faucet does not go to a spray. It remains in a regular flow. I prefer that, as it is easier to regulate the pressure, and does not splash. It works very efficiently to rinse the sink, as well as my hair when I wash it in the sink, and my teeth after brushing.

The handle has to be pushed to the left closest to the stem. If you push it back you get hot water, front is cold water. Hope this helps - it's a great buy and a nice faucet!

It moves forward AND backward. The measurements are as the previous message states.. I love the looks but found out when it was installed that it is a "low flow" faucet. Guess we missed that description. I do miss the full force flow tho'.

If you install the faucet so the handle is on the left, the handle rotates backward to turn on ... If you install with handle on right, it would move forward to turn on ... I installed it with handle on left and it cleared back-splash easily and is out of the way ... handle is a 1/4 turn handle ...

Yes. It depends on your sink tap. on/off button controls amount of water redirection.

Yes it does. The handle moves 1/4 turn to the full open position. It's a nice faucet.

You may orientate the faucet control to suit your needs. As requested by my parents, I installed the control in the front to allow the lever to go from left to right for temperature selection, and to be pulled towards you to adjust for the flow rate. If you often pull the faucet head to spray, you shouldn't allow it to snap back because if will hit part of the control handle. your mileage may vary.

Assuming you stand in front of the sink, the spout / handle will be right opposite to you. The handle should be pulled towards you to get running water.

Yes. The granite installers initially thought I would get my hand wet but we don't by putting it facing forward front and center under the top. I love this faucet and have been told this is a great buy. I bought 2, one for my laundry room, and both are facing forward. We couldn't put ours on the side because the upper level of granite was in the way of turning the water all the way cold. You can spin it around into any position you want before the installers glue it in place.

You can have the back base of the faucet almost flush with your backsplash and still be able to put the handle all the way back. However you will not be able to put your fingers between the backsplash and behind the handle. I have 3/4 of an inch from the back base of the faucet and the backsplash. To allow water flow you move the handle outwards. Forward and backwards dictates hot and cold. I hope this makes sense.

The base of my faucet is only 1" from my backsplash. The control lever pulls forward only (with "straight up" being the hot setting).

It does if you have the faucet fully open. reduce the flow to solve the problem.

I don't know. You may be able to simply turn the base of the faucet, but then the control handle would work "backwards" but I truly don't know.

Yes. Our faucet was installed with the handle front-centered to accommodate a stingy back-wall clearance.
