Hi,

I have a question about a Kohler K-690 kitchen faucet. It has a single handle that can positioned around 360 degrees and is currently in the front/center (due to space limits). In this position, one turns the handle left to get cold water, and right to get hot water. I’m fine with that but the wife feels it’s counter intuitive.

Right now, the inlet hoses to the faucet are attached per the instructions (i.e. the faucet hose labeled “cold†by Kohler is a attached to the cold water supply valve…). Can I reverse the hoses going to the faucet and hook the “cold†hose to the hot water supply and visa-a-verse? Or are there internal components to the faucet that would be damaged?

Thanks,
Greg

You can do that, but on some of those faucets you can rotate the handle, and/or mechanism 180 degrees to change the orientation. I am not sure about that one, because I have not worked on one.
 
Per the instructions with this faucet:

NOTE: If the handle is installed to the left or center, connect the cold water tube to the hot
supply and the hot water tube to the cold supply.

You need to reverse the supply lines.
