Most people are familiar with pull out faucets, but a growing number of kitchen faucet models are designed as pull down styles. There are advantages to both, but pull down styles normally have more height and reach. the aesthetic value of a pull down faucet is usually found in its commercial appeal.
Most restaurant kitchen utilize a pull down design because one its more convenient and two it gives the washer more flexibility when it comes to positioning the faucet nozzle. The convenience comes in the form of the nozzle being right where the washer needs it, so releasing the nozzle means that it is simple hanging waiting to be used.
People who wash larger pots and pans find that a pull down style faucet makes it easier for them to use and distribute the water. This directional value with the added height make for the best of both worlds. Almost all of the pull down faucets offer a nozzle arm that, while not in use, holds the spray nozzle in place. Also most designs incorporate a spring or coiled faucet hose that allows for omnidirectional movement.
Now the combination of utility and form bring the convenience of a commercial style faucet to the home kitchen.
