Here is a guide to Danze kitchen faucet parts:
Kitchen Sink Drain Assembly
The Danze kitchen sink drain assembly connects the water supply line from your house to the kitchen sink. It also has a strainer basket that catches debris. If you are replacing this part, make sure you get one with an anti-siphon design so there is no risk of siphoning when connecting the new supply line.
Kitchen Faucet Spout
The spout connects the hot and cold water lines coming out of the faucet. You can choose between a single or double hole to control the flow of water. If you have a single-hole kitchen faucet, use a 1/2 inch diameter spout. If you have a double-hole kitchen faucet, use a 3/4 inch diameter spout.
