Awelife Utility Sink Faucet with Sprayer, Laundry Room Faucet with Pull Out Sprayer for Laundry Tub, 4 inch Centerset 3 Holes Installation Non-Metallic, Chrome Finish

Why I put this faucet in my laundry room

My utility sink gets used hard—paint rollers, muddy boots, pet baths—so I wanted a faucet that could reach into awkward corners and rinse out big messes without costing as much as the sink itself. I installed the Awelife utility faucet on a standard plastic laundry tub to see if a pull-out sprayer and dual-handle setup could bring a bit of kitchen-like convenience to a work space. After several weeks of use, it’s become an everyday upgrade with some clear strengths and a few limitations to consider.

Design and build

This model is a 4-inch centerset, three-hole faucet with a chrome-finished, lead-free ABS body. It looks clean and tidy on a white or gray tub, and the low-profile base makes it feel less bulky than some utility options. The spout rotates a full 360°, which I appreciate when I’m swinging it out of the way to set a bucket in the basin.

The key feature is the 28-inch pull-out sprayer with two modes: an aerated stream for filling and a stronger spray for rinsing. The sprayer head is bigger than a typical bathroom hand sprayer, and the buttons are easy to find with wet hands. The dual handles have a 90° forward rotation, which is a thoughtful touch—if your sink is close to a wall or backsplash, you won’t be banging into it to open or close the water.

As for materials, ABS has its upsides and downsides. On the plus side, it won’t corrode, it’s lightweight, and it keeps the cost down. The finish has held up well so far against soap scum and mineral spots, and it wipes clean without showing fine scratches easily. The tradeoff is feel: it doesn’t have the weight or dense “clunk” of a full-metal faucet, and you’ll want to treat the handles and sprayer with a bit of care to avoid stressing the joints.

Installation notes

Awelife says this can be installed in minutes without tools. That’s partly true. If you’re replacing an existing 4-inch, three-hole faucet on a laundry tub that already has a center hole for a pull-out hose and your supply lines are flexible, the top-side part of the install goes quickly. The deck gasket fit my tub well, the shanks aligned cleanly, and the included hardware was straightforward.

Plan for a few realities:
- You’ll likely need a basin wrench to remove/attach supply lines under the sink.
- If your tub only has two holes, you’ll need to drill a third center hole for the sprayer hose. On a plastic tub, that’s simple—measure twice and use a hole saw with gentle pressure.
- Hose retraction depends on what’s under your sink. The counterweight needs a clear path; any bins, plumbing, or sharp cabinet edges can snag the hose and keep the sprayer from seating fully.

It took me about 35 minutes start to finish, including tidying the under-sink space so the hose would retract cleanly. One practical tip: before you tighten everything down, pull the hose in and out a few times to confirm it glides freely and the weight isn’t bumping into anything.

Ergonomics and control

The handles have a light action and seal positively at full off. The 90° throw gives enough precision for mixing temperature without endless knob turns. Compared with single-handle utility taps, I find dual handles better for quick heavy flow—left hand hot, right hand cold, and you’re at full rinse in a second.

The spout height and reach are well suited to deep laundry tubs; you can fill a bucket sitting on the basin floor without tilting it. I like that the spout can rotate out of the way completely; when I’m washing a large tray, I pull the sprayer and park the spout to one side.

Sprayer performance

Two modes, two different jobs:
- Stream: Aerated and gentle enough for filling humidifiers, watering cans, or pet bowls without splashing like crazy.
- Spray: Noticeably stronger for blasting soap and grit off rollers, trays, or boots.

The 28-inch hose reaches every corner of a standard tub and a bit beyond. For rinsing tall items, it’s a game-changer compared to fixed spouts. Switching modes is a thumb press away, and the buttons have held up so far without sticking.

Two quirks showed up in daily use:
- If I switch from spray to stream mid-rinse, I sometimes see a faint mist escaping at the sprayer face until I toggle once or run the water another second. It doesn’t affect function, but you’ll notice it if you’re rinsing something sensitive to drips.
- Retraction is smooth as long as the under-sink path is clear. On my first try the hose wouldn’t seat fully; rerouting the weight and moving a storage bin solved it.

Day-to-day use

This faucet makes my laundry sink more useful. The rotating spout and pull-out sprayer handle most tasks quickly: rinsing filters, cleaning paint trays, washing mud off dog paws, or blasting out the bottom corners of the tub. The chrome finish wipes down easily, and water spots don’t stand out on a utility basin the way they would on a kitchen sink.

Flow is ample for a utility application, and the two-handle control gives predictable mixing. If you routinely need to fill big buckets at high pressure, a commercial-style utility faucet with a higher flow rating might be faster, but for general household and light shop tasks, this feels appropriately powerful.

Durability and maintenance

The non-metallic construction means no rust, but it also means you should treat the faucet like a tool, not a lever. Don’t yank the sprayer sideways aggressively; pull straight out and let the weight do the work on the way back. Avoid overtightening the handles—snug is enough to stop drips.

I haven’t encountered a persistent leak, but I did test the basics in case it shows up:
- If you see a drip from the spout after shutoff, run the water for a moment and ensure the sprayer toggle is fully engaged in one mode.
- If a handle seeps at the base, shut off water, remove the handle cap, and reseat the cartridge or check the retaining nut; hand-tight plus a gentle quarter-turn with a wrench is usually sufficient.
- Keep an eye on the hose where it passes cabinet edges; a stick-on edge guard prevents abrasion over time.

There’s a one-year limited warranty, and replacement parts are simple. For a faucet in this price range and material, that coverage feels appropriate. If you expect constant heavy use in a commercial setting, step up to a solid brass option.

Who it’s for

• Ideal: Home laundry rooms, mudrooms, utility tubs in basements or garages, rental units, or a farm wash tub where corrosion resistance and reach matter more than premium feel.
• Acceptable: Light shop use where the sprayer is helpful but the faucet isn’t subjected to abuse.
• Not ideal: High-traffic commercial spaces, workshops where tools get knocked around the sink area, or users who want the heft and longevity of an all-metal faucet.

Pros and cons

Pros
- Easy upgrade for a utility sink with real reach from the 28-inch pull-out hose
- 360° swivel spout and dual handles with forward rotation fit tight spaces
- Non-metallic build won’t corrode; finish cleans up quickly
- Straightforward installation on a standard 4-inch, three-hole layout
- Good value for the feature set; one-year limited warranty

Cons
- ABS body feels lightweight compared to metal faucets; treat it gently
- Sprayer may not fully retract if the under-sink path isn’t cleared
- Occasional mist at the sprayer face when switching modes
- Not designed for heavy commercial abuse or long-term hard handling

Bottom line

The Awelife utility faucet brings kitchen-like convenience to a laundry or utility sink at a very approachable price. The pull-out sprayer and full-swivel spout make cleaning tasks faster, and the forward-rotating handles are well thought out for tight installs. You trade some heft and long-haul durability for the non-metallic build, but you gain corrosion resistance and easy maintenance.

Recommendation: I recommend this faucet for homeowners who want to add reach and functionality to a laundry or utility sink without spending a lot. It’s a solid fit for light to moderate use, provided you give the hose a clear retraction path and don’t expect the indestructible feel of a solid brass unit. If you need heavy-duty longevity under daily rough use, invest in a metal-bodied alternative; otherwise, this is a practical, budget-friendly upgrade that works as advertised.
