I was thinking about buying a kitchen faucet set with the separate sprayer that goes into its own hole, but omitting the faucet part and using the sprayer only. It would be one of those single handle faucets like in the link below.
My question is, will capping the line that went to the faucet affect the operation of the sprayer? I recall that there is a mechanism in the valve body that diverts the water to the sprayer and am not sure if it is reliant on water flowing through the faucet to operate properly.
Any knowledge about this will be appreciated before I go out and find one to see what works or not.
Should I put the sprayer on the faucet line instead and cap the sprayer supply, using the handle to turn the water on or off? Just thinking here.

Faucet spray handle assemblies are not designed for continuous water system pressure, hence the diverter downline after the faucet line valve.
There are commercially rated devises to fill the need....$$$$
Use the faucet w/ sprayer as it was designed to do...no "Rube Goldburg-ing."
