Two-handle kitchen faucets set hot and cold with separate handles, on a sink with three or four holes. The four Moen models use 4-inch centers and the Delta uses 8-inch centers, so measure your sink before you choose. If your sink has one hole, a single-handle pull-down is the better fit; see our pull-down kitchen faucet guide. For a two-handle with an exposed bridge, see our bridge faucet guide.
Moen Chateau 7907: two handles plus side spray
Choose the 7907 for a four-hole sink and a basic layout. Moen’s current sheet (maker page: assets.moen.com/shared/docs/product-specifications/7907sp.pdf), which covers the 7907 with side spray and the 7906 without, lists chrome-plated metal construction, 1/2-inch IPS connections that accept ball-nose 3/8-inch tubing, a Protégé side spray with Duralock quick connect, the 1234 cartridge and a 1.5 gpm spout flow.
It installs through holes at least 1 inch across on 4-inch centers, with a 15/16-inch maximum deck, the thinnest limit here. On October 15, 2026, the standard new offer sold by Amazon.com was in stock with model 7907, chrome.

Moen Chateau 7906: the three-hole version
Choose the 7906 if your sink has three holes and you do not want a spray. The same Moen sheet (maker page: assets.moen.com/shared/docs/product-specifications/7907sp.pdf) also covers the 7906 without a side spray. An older Moen sheet for the 7906 alone, dated 2006, lists the 1224 cartridge and a 2.2 gpm aerator; the current combined sheet lists the 1234 cartridge and 1.5 gpm, so check the model and date code on an older faucet before buying parts.
On October 15, 2026, the standard new offer sold by Amazon.com was in stock with model 7906, chrome. The older sheet is here (maker page: assets.moen.com/shared/docs/product-specifications/7906sp.pdf) for reference.

Moen Belfield 7255ORB: side spray and swivel spout
Choose the Belfield 7255 for a side spray, a 360-degree spout and easy-turn handles. Moen’s spec sheet (maker page: assets.moen.com/shared/docs/product-specifications/7255sp.pdf) lists 1/2-inch IPS connections, a side spray with Duralock quick connect, a 360-degree rotating spout, handles that turn 90 degrees to full on and work with less than 5 pounds of force, the 1234 cartridge and a 1.5 gpm spout flow.
The 7255 installs through four holes at least 1-1/4 inches across on 4-inch centers; the sheet’s 7250 version skips the spray and uses three holes. On October 15, 2026, the standard new offer sold by Amazon.com showed limited stock with model 7255ORB, oil rubbed bronze.

Moen Commercial M-Bition 8799: wrist-blade handles
Choose the M-Bition 8799 if you want handles you can work with a wrist or forearm. Moen’s spec sheet (maker page: assets.moen.com/shared/docs/product-specifications/8799sp.pdf) lists chrome-plated metal construction, 1/2-inch IPS connections, vandal-resistant screws, 4-inch wrist blade handles with hot and cold indicators that turn a quarter turn to open, the 1224 cartridge and a 1.5 gpm aerator limit.
It installs through three holes at least 1 inch across on 4-inch centers, with a 1-1/8-inch maximum deck. On October 15, 2026, the standard new offer sold by Amazon.com was in stock with model 8799, chrome.

Delta Windemere 21996LF: two handles, side spray, 1.8 gpm
Choose the Windemere 21996LF for a four-hole sink and slightly higher flow. Delta’s spec sheet (media.deltafaucet.com) lists a two-handle faucet for exposed four-hole mounting on 8-inch centers, metal lever handles with quarter-turn stops, interchangeable stems, a rotating-cylinder control with a stainless steel plate, 1/2-inch NPSM shanks, a 360-degree swing spout and a 1.8 gpm flow.
The sheet lists 1-1/8 to 1-1/2-inch faucet holes, a 1-5/16-inch maximum deck and 2-1/2 inches of recommended backsplash clearance. On October 15, 2026, the standard new offer sold by American Tool Supply showed limited stock with model 21996LF, chrome. More in our Delta Windemere guide.

Matching the faucet to your holes
Count the holes in the sink deck. Three holes on 4-inch centers: the Moen 7906 or M-Bition 8799, or the Belfield 7250 version. Four holes on 4-inch centers, with the fourth for a spray: the Moen 7907 or Belfield 7255. Four holes on 8-inch centers: the Delta 21996LF. If you have four holes and buy a three-hole faucet, the extra hole can take a soap dispenser; see our soap dispenser guide.
Check the deck thickness too: from 15/16 inch on the Chateau 7907 to 1-5/16 inches on the Windemere.
Supply connections and clearance
All three Moen sheets list 1/2-inch IPS inlets; the Chateau sheet adds that they accept ball-nose 3/8-inch tubing. Delta lists 1/2-inch NPSM shanks for the Windemere. Measure the supply stops under your sink and buy connectors that match both ends rather than reusing old, kinked lines. Moen lists a Duralock quick connect on the Chateau and Belfield side sprays, so the spray hose clicks onto the faucet body. Delta recommends 2-1/2 inches of clearance behind the Windemere, so check the gap to the backsplash before you order it.
Shut off both supply stops and open the old faucet to release pressure before you start. If a stop will not close fully, fix that first; our dripping faucet guide covers the same basic tools.
Cartridges and repairs
Two-handle faucets have one cartridge per handle. The Moen sheets here list the 1234 (Chateau current version, Belfield) and the 1224 (M-Bition, older Chateau). Delta lists a rotating-cylinder control with a stainless steel plate and interchangeable stems. When a handle starts to drip, the cartridge on that side is usually the part to replace; our dripping faucet guide walks through it.
