CIENCIA Kitchen Sink Side Sprayer Set Stainless Steel Pull Out Spray Head with Hose and Holder, Black, WS030CF

Very nice. The spray is very strong. It does get very hot (instantaneously) if connected to hot water line. I used this mixer to temper the hot water temperature: SHARKBITE/CASH ACME SB-24548 Thermostatic Mixing Valve, Brass As an option, the body of the handle is hollow and easily accessible. You might be able to slip some kind of sleeve in there to insulate it a bit and slow down the heat transfer. 1/2" pex *almost* fits in from the base but the handle is also tapered inside so anything used would need a good amount of fitting but I think it could be done.

This is a handsome sprayer and oh my gosh it has amazing amount of power. It's almost too much. I have only seen that kind of pressure coming out of a commercial type sprayer. I almost took off a point because it had no instructions for installation although anyone that slightly handy should be able to figure it out. I did have to purchase about another $20 worth of supply lines and reducers because I was connecting in to 3/8 plumbing and the sprayer is designed for 1/2 in water lines so you're in luck if you already have half inch supply lines. The unit seems very high quality heavy metal nothing cheap about it for the price I think it was a bargain. you can plumb into your hotline or your cold line. You don't have to have your faucet running to use it. I chose to put it in my cold line because many times were filling up watering cans for plants it has enough pressure that cold water will be fine for pre rinsing dishes for the dishwasher which is our primary use. If you hand wash your dishes I would recommend plumbing it to the hot side.

Additional Warning: Customer service number listed is for an unrelated business. I spoke to a man who has received many calls about this product, but works for a company that has no relation to this listing or retail sales. My sprayer started developing problems with the press valve a few weeks after installation. My new impression of this product is that it is some foreign company that bought a bunch of badly made bidet sprayers and remarked them as kitchen sprayers. Id they were an upstanding seller, they would not have falsified their contact information. Next time I will buy from a trusted company. Disappointed with the money spent and now lost. I read many reviews, and I can now agree that.. be warned: (1) If you don't have a 1/2" MPT outlet to connect to, it will likely take a trip to the plumbing store to make it work. (2) Entire handle is made of stainless steel which conducts temperature quickly - if you like to spray hot water you will need to figure out your own method of insulting your hand while spraying. (3) It looks modern / high-end and has very powerful spray for the cost. Other notes: • It's a 'petit' unit that will work well for smaller hands and take minimal room on your counter. • They send you an abundance of adapters, washers, teflon tape and fittings (only 1 thing helped me). • If your countertop is over 1.5" thick, the deck mounting hardware will not work. • It's not perfect, but I am not completely unhappy either. If I hadn't put so much time into installing it, I would return it, but it sprays well, and I need to move on to other priorities.

We've been using plastic sprayers, but they always fail with hairline cracks causing the counter-top to swell. This SS sprayer is nice and solid. I don't expect any more counter-top damage. POSITIVES Solid SS expected to last Nice action on the lever Narrow spray is easy to direct Weight on a flexible hose makes return easy NEGATIVES Conducts water temperature to you hands A bit clumsy to install with adapters, but everything is included in the package A little more wobbly in its holder than expected

Sprayer stream is tight and straight, not like a shower head. It has a unique thread on the hose where you have to use the 6" long 1/2" thread adapter. All my sink plumbing is 3/8" and I got a 3/8" mixing valve to allow warm water through the sprayer. I was surprised when it didnt thread onto the mixing valve and had to look at the sprayer kit. It comes with a 1/2 tee fitting fot tapping into hot or cold line. The two 3/8" to 1/2" adapters if thats what your sink uses. It comes with a large pack of rubber seals for all the adapters probably 15 of them atleast. Finally once installed you install the weight at little ways up on the sprayer side so the weight is there to pull it all the way back into the base. To low and it won't pull the sprayer tight into the base. (My faucet is new and chinese so the hot and cold are reversed so thats whats going on in the photo. The cold is now on the right side.)

Very sturdy and functional, but beware, the handle gets extremely hot when spraying hot water through the sprayer. Hookup was probably more difficult because of the set up of last sprayer but otherwise might have been much easier I believe. I have it installed, but have to remember not to use straight hot water.

This sprayer, head and handle are all metal if you are looking for solid construction. No plastic in the handle or base or sprayer head. I have not installed the sprayer yet but all components seem to be sturdy and operational. I purchased due to the fact it is all metal.

I needed a sprayer for my garage sink, but couldn't find a heavy duty one that was made to be pressurized full time. Standard cheap sprayers only have pressure when you open the main faucet. This sprayer is heavy duty solid stainless, minus the sprayer nozzle. The supplied brass 1/2" x 3/8 compression adaptor is threaded off a bit, too tight. The thread pitch is perfect though. So I just used an old supply valve and ran it in and out like a dozen times and then it fit perfectly. You can barely see the brass adaptor screwed onto the Sloan mixer under the sink. The handle is real stainless, so it does get warm, so I adjusted the mixer so as to not get uncomfortably hot. The wife loves it and now wants one in the kitchen.

After installing it has been discovered that the nozzle leaks/drips. There will be a puddle after an hour or so. Luckily the hose is only used to fill a Keurig machine, so I am shutting off the valve to the dispenser after every use. Cannot be bothered removing the item to return
