American Standard Southport Pull-Down Dual Spray Kitchen Faucet 1.8 GPM/6.8 L/min - AMS-7441300

Yes. The Southport 7441300 is a single-hole faucet, but it ships with a deck plate that covers 2-hole and 3-hole sinks and countertops, so you can drop it into an existing 3-hole deck without changing the sink. Mount it through the center hole and the escutcheon hides the outer two.

The Southport pull-down is rated at 1.8 gallons per minute (6.8 L/min), which is below the 2.2 GPM federal kitchen faucet maximum and meets the tighter 1.8 GPM ceiling used in California and other water-efficiency specs. For a multifamily or institutional standardization package, that flow rate is the number to put on the submittal.

The Southport's handle rotates forward rather than back, so it clears the backsplash when you open it. That is the usual failure on a sink set tight to a wall or under a window sill, where a rear-rotating single handle cannot open fully. The spout is high-arc and swivels, giving pot-filling clearance across the bowl.

Four: chrome (7441300.002), stainless steel (7441300.075), matte black (7441300.243), and brushed cool sunrise (7441300.GN0). Order by the suffix, that is the only thing that changes between them. The finish resists scratches and corrosion and wipes clean, which is the reason matte black and stainless hold up in a rental turn better than a polished lacquer.

The Southport uses American Standard's Speed Connect supply hoses, which snap together for a watertight connection instead of needing wrenched compression joints at the faucet body. You still connect to your stops with standard supply lines. The deck plate is in the box, so for a straight replacement on a 1, 2, or 3 hole deck there is nothing else to buy.

Single handle, mixing hot and cold on one lever, running a ceramic disc cartridge. Ceramic disc is the standard for a faucet that gets cycled hard in a rental or commercial kitchen, it seals on two polished discs rather than a rubber washer that wears. That is the part that decides whether you are back at the unit in two years chasing a drip.

Yes, and it is a common way to spec it. All four finishes are the same faucet body, model 7441300, with only the finish suffix changing, so the cartridge, spray head, hoses and deck plate are identical across chrome, stainless, matte black and brushed cool sunrise. Your maintenance shop stocks one set of repair parts and still matches whatever finish package each unit or tier was built to.

A toggle on the spray head switches it three ways: regular stream, spray, and pause. The pause is what makes it useful at a sink full of dishes, you can stop the water at the head without going back to the handle. The head is a pull-down on a hose, not a side sprayer, so the same head does both jobs.

It uses American Standard's Re-Trax system, a weighted retraction that pulls the head back and docks it in the spout. Sagging hose and a head that will not seat is the common complaint on cheap pull-downs, and Re-Trax is the mechanism on this one that handles extension, retraction and docking.
