Not sure what forum to post this in

I just installed a kitchen single hole faucet that has a handle which rotates back 45 degrees for hot and rotates 45 forward for cold. Straight up is in the middle of the two temps.

Our window trim sticks out to much behind the new faucet and the handle hits the trim and can not rotate fully back to the hot position.

So I need a faucet so when the handle is vertical, it is hot and when it is forward it is cold. The range it turns is something I am not sure how to determine in the description when searching.

How does one go about shopping for a faucet with this range in mind. Is there anything in the description I need to check.

Our current faucet does not go backwards as far and when I look at buying a new one, I am not sure how to determine the range of rotaion on the handle?

Let me know if you know how these are typically labeled or sold as, the verbiage or description I need to be tuned into?

I have attached a photo

Let me know if this makes sense.

I did remove the handle (via an alien screw) and rotate, offset the handle, but the cartridge does not rotate so the handle is vertical and fits, but the on off is then off axis is it is a funky on off, not in the direction of the lever, and is not a good solution. Also this is not about a stop limit for hot, but a physical range the handle moves.

Most Moen and Kohler pull down faucets are this way
Thanks, we have yet to see this brand with a three way faucet for filtered water as seen in the example photo. But we can reach out and ask. We currently have a Moen faucet but to avoid drilling another hole in the granite counter top, we are searching for this three way faucet that will do RO water, Hot and Cold. The problem is that ever single three faucet rotates fully backward to get the hot.
Will keep looking. Thanks

Interesting, Looks like maybe the filtered water travels through the same spigot as the unfiltered water? I can try to reach out again to Moen to learn more how this three way prevents cross contamination, I have not heard back from them about any of my previous questions yet.
With the RO system we have, we may need a more robust individual spigot to avoid cross contamination.

We are simply trying to avoid drilling another hole in the granite countertop for a seperate spigot, this is the traditional way this is done. I attached a photo of a faucet that is one hole, three imput lines with a side spigot built into the faucet. Seems to be the ticket for RO water dispensing. Just gotta get a darn handle to fit and you are right the Moen seems to have that range of motion we are looking for.

Just finding a handle and a three way that all works together.

I can always give up at some point drill a hole n the countertop, but for now I am going to do some more leg work before giving up.
Thanks so much for the link and the help. Really appreciate it!
