What can I do when my kitchen handle hits the backsplash or trim of window or counter?

You can turn the neck of the spout clockwise 90 degrees the instructions below. To be a role model example, please refer to this link below on ‘Gourmetier Continental Single-Handle Pre-Rinse Kitchen Faucet, Oil Rubbed Bronze’ (LS8505CTL)

You will need a plumber to do this.

Loosen #26 to #30 and rotate the main spout to the targeted position.

Readjust as needed and check all gasket and washer positions properly.

Tighten to the desired position when #20 is turned to the front.

Now, you will not have any problems with your backsplash anymore.
