Sadly, there are very few faucet manufacturers that understand that a faucet should drop the water in the CENTER of a sink. Most drop the water only 6-7" into the bowl. Waterstone, on the other hand, has a plethera of extended reach faucets that will easily reach the center of sinks as wide (front to back) as 18". They will also handle sinks as large as 54" without an issue. They are expensive - for a reason. They are built to be problem free, little or no splashing, and come in dozens of finishes. You can see some here.

A 46 " wide sink with 2 faucets is essentially like 2 - 23" wide sinks. Most folks get a single kitchen faucet for a 30" wide bowl and it is just fine so there is absolutely no reason to think any faucet would not work for you.

As far as where the spray hits, you will want a spray head that angles down as opposed to going straight down. This faucet is from Delta - the spout reach is 9 3/8" but the water comes out on an angle

Good luck with your search!

I have a 36" wide sink and one faucet. I honestly can't imagine needing two faucets for 5" extra on each side. You won't have any issue reaching the corners with two faucets. You MAY have trouble sharing the space, though...so I might question whether you need two faucets. My current faucet is a Delta Trinsic and can easily reach the corners. I wouldn't have any issue getting another 5" out of it.

Our potfiller is the Delta contemporary.

So far I have no cons for our sink faucet. I don't love the handles on the potfiller but I'm getting used to it. I have also realized in my current kitchen the pot filler is a bit superfluous. I had one in my old kitchen and it was amazing, but this kitchen has the sink so close to the range that I have to force myself to use it.

I would choose something like this.

ardell stainless steel

Hello Lyn, that Ardell faucet only has an 8 5/8" reach which would only put it 6 5/8" into the bowl. There is also a significant chance that this faucet is not legal to be sold in the US. I would check that for sure. I could not find any certifications indicating so. There is a huge list of faucets that are not legal in the US. This company lists many of them: http://starcraftcustombuilders.com/sources.faucets2.htm

They do not list this brand yet, however I would be suspicious due to the very low price.

They need to have a big enough spray radius once they're pulled out to reach the corners of the sink

The pulldown on my inexpensive & modestly sized Moen Adler (in Spot Resist stainless) will easily reach to spray down a 46" sink. I just used a tape measure to check. The hose & sprayer reaches 21" from gooseneck (that extends over the sink.) The water spray, of course will extend well beyond 21".

Note that the Moen Adler is small compared to a lot of other pulldowns. Only about 16.5" tall with a 7.5" reach. I did not want a huge faucet and was height limited anyway because I have cabinets over my sink. (But a larger, taller faucet will give you more hose to cover more territory and more reach over the sink when not using the pulldown.)

Two faucets is twice the expense and twice the # of faucets to clean around. And adds more clutter in the cabinet under the sink. I would install only one faucet, not two.

The sink is twice the size it needs to be for functionality, but not really big enough to have 2 people to use simultaneously. Skip 2 faucets. None of this will work how you think you want it to work.

I have to agree the sink is too big honestly and remember a workstaion sink loses size when you put all those silly addon s on top of 1/2 of it. Have you looked at articulating faucets maybe that would be a good choice . Since this is akitchen being designed I would sya no pot filler but a sink right beside the range the best thing ever It allows filling of pots but better they allow moving pots of boiling water easily IMO pot fillers one of the most useless items in a kitchen but I have often done a small sink next to ranges for clients cook pasta daily .BTW I aslo agree there will not be space for 2 people at that sink so no need for 2 faucets.

This is my 48" sink opening with a 30" sink + 18" integrated drainboard from Julien.

My faucet is centered on the sink and not the opening, but I just measured, and if it was centered it would reach the whole sink just fine.

Two faucets would feel a bit crowded, unless they were on the smaller side, but then you might not get the reach you want.

My faucet is the Kohler Purist. You also want to consider height and projection of the faucet and not just the reach of the water stream.

Have you gone to a local plumbing showroom that has large sinks on display and faucets too?

Counting the drain boards as part of the sink is the only way such a big sink makes sense. Or if it were 2 25” double bowls. With a single faucet. A sink big enough to wash a Great Dane in it is just a useless space hog. You might as well move to mounting a bath tub at counter height.

A secondary prep sink and a big cleanup sink make far more sense.

The other thing to consider with a very large sink is the "wasted" cabinet space under the sink. I don't find under sink storage to be the best storage space. In my case, with the integrated drainboard, I was able to slide the DW under the drainboard, so my sink cabinet is only under the 30" sink section.

I also have an 18x18 secondary sink ... I don't call it a prep sink because we never prep at the island, unless we have a large family gathering which might happen once per year.

There are some options for good storage under a sink. I have attached a couple of ideas.

Kitchen is designed, sink is purchased, and I have my reasons for wanting a very large workstation sink with two faucets in the context of the rest of the kitchen and where other elements are located. I appreciate those who addressed the original question asked.

You have your reasons. But there isn't a really good reason, and you will not love the look once installed.

This on the other hand? Reaches e.v.e.r.y.w.her.e.

Not one client doesn't love it.

There are plenty of others similar. they were all derived from..............yes, actual restaurants with huge sinks

I don’t see the reason for 2 faucets either. My sink is a 33” single bowl and 99% of the time I have a small drying rack sitting in it - I only move the drying rack when I have to wash large pots and saucepans, which is maybe twice a month. We canned tomatoes yesterday and Will again tomorrow, but I don’t see why 2 faucets are needed for canning. Washing lettuce from the garden is the only faucet intensive things I do - lettuce gets dirty!! Maybe OP will enlighten us.

A commercial style faucet might be the best choice and article below highlights some, as well as their functionality. .https://www.remodelista.com/posts/10-easy-pieces-commercial-style-kitchen-faucets/?epik=dj0yJnU9WHFqRHl5QVB4bWVJOUtyTzNmbTYwTjJfc1dQZXdkOTkmcD0wJm49d1B4Q2tkdG5fYUxQTlFJVXRtemlBdyZ0PUFBQUFBR1RpRkFR

Pretty sure a water sprayer goes out quite a distance. Usually I have a wash cloth in one hand while spraying. The right commercial faucet should do the job.

Blanco Culina faucet. 360 degree swivel. We have it and love it.

IMO you have already made up your mind so why ask now.

Wow Patricia, this isn't about you or your feelings!

The OPs original question stated she was doing 2 faucets and asked about brands. She didn't ask if she should do one faucet. Some people suggested she probably only needed one faucet, but the OP is under no obligation to have to follow other people's ideas or design preferences.

Maybe you should read questions more carefully, so you aren't making assumptions and rude comments.

For anyone else who is considering two faucets (OP has their mind made up), additional thoughts that I have is that, IRL, that second faucet is likely to end up being in the way of a lot of sink tasks where a quite large sink is nice to have. Like washing large stock pots, full sheet pans and bathing the Rottweiler.

My pull down has a mind of its own and doesn't swivel and stay put nicely out of the way. It tends to want to center itself over the sink. Likely because I have too much crap under the sink and because the water connection & shutoff situation is less than ideal under there. But my situation, being less than ideal, is a likely a normal situation.

The other downside is that if/ when you want to replace or have to replace a faucet, you will probably have to buy two faucets so they will match. And, if you decide later that two faucets are more trouble than they are worth, you will have two holes in your countertop to patch and need to drill a third hole if you want the new faucet to be centered. Or end up replacing the counters and the faucets.

It might be noted that showing the entire kitchen layout, would help people understand the need/want for two faucets.

For perspective, note the sink sizes

That last photo Jan posted^^ gives a good perspective of how a second faucet could be in the way of certain large sink tasks.

@chispa, i really like your faucet! not to hijack the thread...but will the faucet stay on the spray setting without holding the button down? and will it stay on spray even at a low volume of waterflow (this is one of my complaints about my current faucet; it switches to stream at too high a setting). I'll have a 33" stainless apron sink.

BTW I run acatering biz form home often do huge jobs for 200+ people and have never needed that size of sink and sorry but when you ask for help here you sometimes get good advice before you make a mistake and has nothing to do with my feelings at all.

this one?

@2rickies, yes the faucet will stay on spray without holding onto the button. The spray is quite strong. I'm not home today so can't test how far I can turn down before it switches to stream. I'll check when I'm back home.

I'm not able to tag la_la girl for some reason, but that answer sums up the thinking that went into this decision to have 2 faucets. If I'm working at the sink and my husband wants to fill the pot to make hot water for coffee we can both keep moving. With counter configuration a separate prep sink doesn't work well so this gives each of us sink access adjacent to workspaces. The large sink with the workstation tops in place will give us added counter-equivalent space when we don't need the full sink. To those who noted that I lose sink space with the tops in place, yes, for me that's a feature and not a bug. I get it that sometimes I could have more sink than I need, but if I'm using part of it as a chopping board and colander then I don't.

I especially appreciate comments from @Rachiele Custom Sinks, @User, and @Debbi Washburn with specific elements to consider about the faucet features. I also recognize and appreciate that people have strong feelings about specific aspects of kitchen design. I learn something even from those who disagree with my choices. Stay curious, all!

"I'm not able to tag la_la girl for some reason"

Here you go, it works for me: @la_la Girl

Love it! we are just back from a road trip and I just washed out the cooler while my husband cleaned and filled the dog bowl :)

I know this thread is old but, OP, what faucets did you decide on? We have a Kohler stages which we expected to use 2 Kohler Karbon faucets on, however they were discontinued before we got the chance to buy them. Because of this, I hate having two faucets at this sink because, as some stated above, one gets in the way of using the sink as intended for food prep. I'm looking for solutions to this dilemma now and haven't found one yet. I have Brizo Odin faucets and don't like them at all so I don't want to replace with the Brizo articulating faucet. I'm considering the Waterstone Hunley but the price! Ugh! If anyone has a better idea, let me know. I'm trying to avoid cutting a new hole for a centered faucet.

I'll add to anyone reading this in the future, I'm sorry I didn't go with my original layout of a large prep sink and separate clean up sink. We were seduced by the workstation and while it is nice, I think two different sinks would have been much better.
