I was wondering, which convention for temperature do you prefer for pulldown kitchen faucets, back-hot and forward-cold, or the opposite? Moen and Kohler usually follow the former, while Delta usually follows the latter, although it depends on which way the installer hooked up the supply lines. I was surprised to learn there is no universal industry-standard convention for pulldown kitchen faucets that have the handle on the side.

I prefer the former. We usually like to keep our kitchen faucet on hot, and it just seems cleaner to have the handle vertical in the hot position.
 
Probably forward-hot, because I see it like a kind of off and on lever for the hot water.
 
As a renter, I never have such choices. Wish I did though. Had a new faucet installed because the old one began to leak. Forcing me to learn a new set of directions just to get water from a freakin' spigot. :rolleyes:
