    Faucets that can handle the pressure put through for a portable dishwasher..
    Just bought a portable dishwasher, hooked it up and water
    Started spraying out of the side of my faucet. I'm going to
    Buy a new faucet but does it need to be able to tolerate a certain amount of pressure? I've seen a new faucet for $35 jt says it handles 2.2 home

    Don't know what that means. You need to be a little more specific if you want to repair. Any faucet should withstand the water pressure.

    If you are smart you will purchase a Moen.

    That is the volume, not the pressure, 2.2 gallons per minute.

    Moen is warrantied for life, easy to install and easy to repair.

    Where was the leak ? Around the tip of the faucet, where you attached the DW hose or from the body of the faucet ? Just about any kitchen faucet will handle DW attached to it. Of course, the cheaper you go, the less quality you will deal with. Agree with Harold - Moen is very good product. If you can afford it, purchase faucet in price range $75.00 - $100.00.
