Faucets

Lead-free kitchen faucets with verified drinking-water certifications and clear disclosure of internal plastics.

We look for two kinds of protection: limits on lead content and testing for substances that can leach into drinking water.  NSF/ANSI/CAN 372 addresses lead content; NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 addresses leaching.  Lead-free does not mean zero lead.  Plastic hoses, valves and aerators are allowed here, but their presence is disclosed.

Moen Align Spring Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet — Spot Resist Stainless Moen Align Spring Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet — Spot Resist Stainless USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: For a spring-style kitchen faucet, Align pairs a flexible pull-down spray with documented NSF 61 and 372 compliance for water-contact leaching and lead content.  The stainless finish covers a metal body, but the cartridge contains plastic; this is not an all-metal water path.  The exact 5923SRS is listed as made in the USA, with a 68-inch braided hose for reaching around the sink.

Materials: metal body and braided hose · engineered-plastic and metal cartridge $439.60★ 4.7 · 600+ ratings View on Amazon

Delta Essa Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet — Arctic Stainless Delta Essa Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet — Arctic Stainless CERAMICUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Essa combines a magnetic spray-head dock with integrated PEX supply lines, making the plastic water path clear rather than hiding it behind a metal finish.  Delta lists NSF 61 and 372 compliance for the exact model, addressing water-contact leaching and lead content.  The US-made faucet fits one- or three-hole sinks with its included deckplate; it does not filter the water. Materials: metal body · PEX plastic supply lines and internal polymers · ceramic valve and rubber spray nozzles $318.35★ 4.6 · 6,000+ ratings View on Amazon

Materials: metal body and braided hose · engineered-plastic and metal cartridge $133.49★ 4.6 · 800+ ratings View on Amazon

Materials: metal body with Spot Resist Stainless finish · plastic-and-metal valve cartridge · flexible hoses (liner unspecified) $287.74★ 4.6 · 300+ ratings View on Amazon
Moen Kaden High-Arc Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet — Spot Resist Stainless Moen Kaden High-Arc Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet — Spot Resist Stainless USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Kaden's high arch leaves room for large pots, and the pull-down head retracts after rinsing.  More importantly, Moen's specification lists NSF 61 and 372 compliance for this model's water-contact components and lead content.  The stainless-look exterior conceals a cartridge containing plastic, which we disclose rather than calling the faucet plastic-free.  The exact 87966SRS is listed as made in the USA. Materials: metal body and braided hose · engineered-plastic and metal cartridge $145.03★ 4.6 · 200+ ratings View on Amazon

Materials: 316 stainless steel · ceramic valve discs · nylon-braided hose with silicone · nitrile-rubber seal · other internal polymers not fully specified $1,436.25 View product
California Faucets Davoli K10-100-33-PC Pull-Down Faucet California Faucets Davoli K10-100-33-PC Pull-Down Faucet SILICONECERAMIC Why we recommend it: Davoli combines a traditional metal lever with a pull-down brass sprayhead for rinsing around a deep sink.  Its exact model is independently certified to drinking-water-contact and lead-content standards NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372.  Hand-finished and assembled in California, it still contains a nylon-braided hose, silicone and synthetic-rubber seals; it is not a plastic-free water path.

Materials: brass body and sprayhead · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · nylon-braided hose with silicone · polymer-braided supply hoses · nitrile-rubber seals $1,124.25 View product

Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · nylon-braided hose with silicone · silicone gasket · nitrile-rubber O-rings · other internal polymers not fully specified $1,124.25 View product

Materials: low-lead brass · chrome finish · rubber seals · plastic service parts $142.94 View product

Materials: low-lead brass · chrome finish · acetal plastic washer (Celcon) · rubber seals $231.44 View product
Chicago Faucets 786-E3ABCP Gooseneck Kitchen Faucet Chicago Faucets 786-E3ABCP Gooseneck Kitchen Faucet USA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: Long wristblade handles make it easier to turn the water on without gripping a small knob, while the gooseneck leaves clearance over a prep sink.  This US-made brass configuration is independently covered by NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 certification.  Its parts drawing identifies an acetal plastic washer, so the chrome exterior should not be mistaken for an all-metal water path.  Needs 8-inch centers; not intended for sale in California.

Waterstone Endeavor 5130-CH Wheel Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Endeavor 5130-CH Wheel Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet CERAMIC Why we recommend it: Endeavor's mono-spoke wheel uses a spring and braking system to retract the sprayer gently, making the mechanism part of the design.  The California-made brass faucet carries independent NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 certification.  Those standards—not its premium price—support the drinking-water and lead-content claims.  Flexible hoses remain inside, and their liners and other polymers are not fully identified. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · flexible supply and spray hoses · internal polymers not fully specified $6,404.25 View product
Waterstone Fulton 3825-CH Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Fulton 3825-CH Kitchen Faucet STAINLESS STEELCERAMICUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: An 11⅛-inch swiveling spout gives this California-made faucet useful reach across a sink without a pull-down hose.  The brass model is independently certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 for drinking-water contact and lead content.  Its PTFE handle collar is disclosed, and the supply-hose liner and other internal polymers are not fully specified; this is not a plastic-free faucet. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · PTFE handle collar · stainless-steel-braided hoses (liner unspecified) $1,476.75 View product
Waterstone Fulton 7825-CH Bridge Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Fulton 7825-CH Bridge Kitchen Faucet CERAMIC Why we recommend it: Fulton's bridge layout puts hot and cold on separate lever valves, with a broad, swiveling spout for reaching across the sink.  The California-made brass model is independently listed to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 for drinking-water contact and lead content.  Braided supply hoses and incompletely specified internal polymers remain part of the disclosure; the metal bridge is not evidence of an all-metal water path. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · braided supply hoses (liner and other internal polymers not fully specified) $2,120.25 View product
Waterstone Hampton 4300-CH C-Spout Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Hampton 4300-CH C-Spout Kitchen Faucet CERAMIC Why we recommend it: Hampton offers a traditional curved spout in a shorter reach than the Annapolis, with a handle that can be adjusted for backsplash clearance.  Independent NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 certification supports its drinking-water and lead-content claims.  Made in California, the chrome-finished brass faucet also contains a PTFE handle collar; hose liners and other internal polymers are not fully disclosed. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · PTFE handle collar · braided hoses (liner and other internal polymers not fully specified) $1,456.50 View product
Waterstone Hunley 3600-18-CH Articulated Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Hunley 3600-18-CH Articulated Kitchen Faucet CERAMICUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: The articulated 18-inch spout reaches across a wide sink without a pull-out spray hose.  Made in California, this brass model has independently verified NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 drinking-water and 372 lead-content certification.  It is not a plastic-free option: the dealer lists a PTFE handle collar, and the supply-hose liner and other internal polymers are not fully specified. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · PTFE handle collar · braided hoses (liner unspecified) $1,788.00 View product
Waterstone Industrial 3250-SN Wall-Mounted Pot Filler Waterstone Industrial 3250-SN Wall-Mounted Pot Filler CERAMICUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: This cold-water-only pot filler swings out from the wall to fill cookware on the stove, then folds back out of the way.  The California-made brass model carries independent NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 certification.  Its internal valve, aerator and seal materials are not fully disclosed, so we do not describe it as all-metal inside.  It fills pots; it does not filter water. Materials: brass · satin-nickel finish · ceramic valve discs · internal valve/aerator and seal materials not fully disclosed $1,653.75 View product
Waterstone Industrial 9800-CH Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Industrial 9800-CH Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet CERAMIC Why we recommend it: The Industrial model combines a full cylindrical base with a stabilized swivel spout and counterbalanced pull-down spray.  Its independent NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 certifications are the relevant checks for drinking-water contact and lead content.  Made in California, it still uses flexible hoses and an insulated handpiece whose complete materials are not published; chrome-finished brass does not make the whole faucet plastic-free. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · braided supply and spray hoses (liners and other polymers not fully specified) $1,944.00 View product
Waterstone Modern PLP 9850-CH Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Modern PLP 9850-CH Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet CERAMIC Why we recommend it: A squeeze lever switches the pull-down head from stream to spray, and a counterweight helps it return smoothly to its locked position.  The California-made brass faucet is independently certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 for drinking-water contact and lead content.  Its flexible hoses and insulated handpiece are not completely specified by material, so the chrome exterior should not be read as a plastic-free claim. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · braided supply and spray hoses (liners and remaining polymers not fully specified) $1,874.25 View product
Waterstone Parche 3800-CH Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Parche 3800-CH Kitchen Faucet CERAMIC Why we recommend it: This California-made Parche has a simple cylindrical base and rotating curved spout, with ceramic valve discs for mixing hot and cold water.  The exact model holds independent NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372 certification.  This chrome version is brass, not the separately sold stainless-steel model.  A PTFE plastic handle collar is disclosed, while the hose liners and remaining internal polymers are not fully specified. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · PTFE handle collar · braided hoses (liner and other internal polymers not fully specified) $1,425.75 View product
Waterstone Towson 4100-18-SN Articulated Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Towson 4100-18-SN Articulated Kitchen Faucet CERAMIC Why we recommend it: The jointed 18-inch spout reaches across a wide sink without a pull-down spray hose.  Made in California, this brass Towson is independently certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 for drinking-water contact and 372 for lead content.  The PTFE handle collar is plastic, and the braided supply hoses have unspecified liners.  The metal exterior does not tell you the full water-path composition. Materials: brass · satin-nickel finish · ceramic valve discs · PTFE handle collar · braided hoses (liner and other internal polymers not fully specified) $1,881.00 View product
Waterstone Traditional Gantry 4410-18-SN Articulated Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Traditional Gantry 4410-18-SN Articulated Kitchen Faucet CERAMICUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: The jointed 18-inch lower spout reaches across a wide sink, and a separate spring-supported sprayer handles rinsing.  Made in California, this traditional Gantry is independently listed to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and 372.  Its materials disclosure includes the PTFE handle collar and braided hoses; the remaining internal polymers are not fully specified.  Measure overhead clearance before choosing this tall design. Materials: brass · satin-nickel finish · ceramic valve discs · PTFE handle collar · braided hoses (liner unspecified) $5,598.75 View product
Waterstone Traditional Wheel 5100-CH Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet Waterstone Traditional Wheel 5100-CH Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet CERAMICUSA PRODUCTION Why we recommend it: The spring-assisted pulley and brake control the pull-down sprayer’s return, a practical feature for frequent sink rinsing.  This US-made brass faucet also has independent NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 drinking-water-contact and 372 lead-content certification.  The price reflects its specialty mechanism, not water filtration.  Flexible hoses and undisclosed internal polymers mean the water path should not be considered plastic-free. Materials: brass · chrome finish · ceramic valve discs · flexible spray and supply hoses (liners unspecified) $5,456.25 View product
