Does it lock in the open position for full flow?? Thank you,

There is no spring on the spigot, whatever position you put it in stays until you change it.

It doesn't lock, but it does stay open. It's very thin - not much throughput.

It does not lock into place, but I don't find this to be a problem. I would not want it to lock. I am happy with the unit.

It does NOT restrict the flow, unless you turn the dial to restrict it yourself. This valve can be adjusted to full on, or off and anything in between.

Davedee, mine didn't seem like it seated all the way either, but it did. Don't expect it to gravity feed, you have to plug in and operate trigger to get flow (primed). It took quite some time to get flow going. I also took filter/tank out and poured white vinegar into the orfice where water gets sucked in machine which helped unclog machine and sped up the process. Hope this helps.

I'm not a plumbing expert, but I installed this valve last year, and it works exactly as expected. To answer your question, I don't think it restricts normal flow when open, but obviously restricts almost all flow when closed (it's a brass valve, so that's apparently built in as a safety). I highly recommend this valve.

It only locks in an open position. When closed it is in an unlocked state (allowing gravity to do its thing).

I agree with the other answer - it only locks when it's in the upright position.

The closed position stays closed but I wouldn't say they lock. Hope that helps.

It does if you have the faucet fully open. reduce the flow to solve the problem.

I agree with the other answers and will add that because of the way it is hinged there is no need for it to physically lock in the open position. It also clearly states that this product is designed for indoor use, so if you are looking for something that goes in the water I would suggest you look at a prodcut which is specifically designed for that purpose.

No, it is only a diverter valve. It goes to one port or the other port, there is no closed or off position. It is a very well made diverter, heavy construction and will last for many years.

You can toggle from straight stream to spray, it stays in either position(up or down) But when you pause, it is in the middle and you have to hold it down to keep it paused. I like this faucet a ton!! Years now...

I don't remember. I think there was a plastic washer that I took out, but I'm not sure. Our does seem to have good flow, so it does not feel like it is restricted.

Yes. This fan can be locked in just about any position you want. For this size fan, it puts out a lot of air. I never have to turn it above low. Best fan I have ever had.

it just does it. no lock but it always stays put after use. Of course you have to gently put it back in place. I love this faucet. I have never seen another I like as well for the price. Classy and functional

It does not fully lock closed, only open. However, there is a friction bump holding it closed requiring additional force beyond just friction at the hinge to open. I personally have not had any problems with it opening unintentionally.
