I just installed an American Standard kitchen faucet and it continues to run for a second or two after turning the handle. I called AS and they said it is because of the high arch and the location of the stop valve lower in the fixture. I think it may have more to do with this being a lower end kitchen faucet. During a bathroom remodel we installed a high arch Pegasus bathroom faucet and, while it is admittedly not at high as the kitchen faucet, it stop immediately and doesn't continue to run/drop at all. When I removed the Pegasus faucet filter at the spout, it behaves just like the kitchen faucet, so there's some sort of stop valve element at the spout of the Pegasus that isn't part of the AS faucet.

I am installing a new sink and I want new kitchen faucets that also have the soap dispenser as part of the package. What brand would you recommend?

Kraus has a great stainless steel pull-out faucet and soap dispenser combination that runs around $330-$360 and has great customer reviews. I found the best prices at Overstock.com and Faucet Direct.com. Another highly rated combination is the Fontaine kitchen pull down faucet and soap dispenser combo. I found the best prices at Overstock.com and eFaucets.com.

How do you fix a kitchen dripping faucet?

By replacing parts as needed depending on the type and brand of faucet It's possible that the gasket needs to be replaced, which is quite easy to do. Turn off the water source (under the sink) before you begin, though. Then remove the faucet handles and replace the gaskets. You can remove the faucet handles to see what size and type of gaskets you need first, or you can purchase a packet of assorted size and types of gaskets at any hardware store, in which should be the type your faucet uses. And don't be afraid of trying this on your own, it is much easier than most people think, and much cheaper than paying a plumber to do it for you.

Kitchen faucet doesn't work but dishwasher does?

Possibly unscrew your aerator at the end of the spout and see if the screen is clogged. Blow it out and rescrew the aerator on. If that isn't the problem, sometimes things get caught in the spout. Unscrew the spout and turn the water on. If there is water coming from there and not out the spout when it is hooked up, the spout is plugged. If no water coming out when the spout is off, rehook spout and change cartridges or stems in the faucet AFTER shutting the water off. Depends on the brand of faucet, check the instructions for the brand and model. Also your kitchen dishwasher and sinks are run on seperate valves. The dishwasher valve is usually under the sinks (causing the water to go to the dishwasher first) the valve that was installed for the sink (before the dishwasher) may be bad too.
