Generally both handles turn towards the center. On some, both turn counter clockwise to open. A single faucet will usually turn counter clockwise to open.

What direction are faucets supposed to turn?

AnswerIt depends on the manufacturer.AnswerIf they are "fluted" handles (uniform throughout their perimeter), they should both turn clockwise to shut off. If they are "wing" handles (a blade sticks out, somewhere on their perimeter), then the wings should push outward to turn off, and inward to turn on. In other words, the left handle turns clockwise to shut off, and the right handle turns counterclockwise to turn off.
