I have no idea. Do you know for a fact whether the OP is handicapped? I don't.

Steve,

I'll leave you with one last thought. Have you ever had a faucet drip for a while because someone neglected to turn it off all the way, or because some component started leaking?

If we're talking ADA, then a pot filler faucet is out of the question, because out reach above and behind the stove. Instead, to get water from the sink to the stove I would use one of the "spring" coil hoses that are popular with animal owners and indoor gardeners. There are food grade versions on the market. They can be hung from the ceiling on a track like you see used for privacy room curtains in hospitals.

I'm sure there are plenty of handicap accessories that don't belong in most kitchens. We're not discussing handicap kitchens.

The OP may be smart enough to look into the future and realize someone my be less than physically perfect in a few years. While not needing "handicap" accessories, a few extra conveniences make life a lot easier as we get older.

=3D=3D Whatever you say Ed. For the majority of people a "pot filler" is just duplication of a facility already installed i.e. the kitchen sink. The OP didn't mention any handicaps or of being enfeebled or old. If one is so pressed for time that they need a "pot filler" above a stove and have the means or wish to impress others, let 'em go for it. =3D=3D

In a bad mood today, Ed?

Reply:

I was in a sense. I'm permanently totally disabled, and even have a license plate to prove it. I'll use all the help wherever I can get it. And if it involves using a gadget that makes no sense to anyone else, I'll do that. Really, now, how many kitchen "gadgets" can you think of that are purely fluff, and one could do with a basic model, and some things that one could do without all together?

I built a house in 1984. I told the framer to increase the width of the hall to 3/6", and the width of all bathroom, bedroom, and walk-in closet doors to 3-0. He asked why, and I said that we had someone in the family that was in a wheelchair.

Oh.

We didn't. When I went to sell the house, who comes to look at it?

You guessed it? They had passed on a dozen other houses because they were not handicap accessible. I did it to ADA before there was even an ADA. Well, maybe not, but I had never heard of ADA in 1984. Built it for $67k and sold it for $147 in six years.

In a word, "YES!"

Upon finding that we can't find one locally for less than $300, and that is on a special order, we have decided to increase the budget on the range hood.

Thanks anyway, all.

I knew there was something amiss. Will is rebuking me for lack of tolerance. At the same time he is (intolerantly) refusing to tolerate my behaviours. Did anyone else catch the irony?
