Does the faucet valve stay in an open position for filling large containers or do you have to hold it open?

Yup, but don't forget you are filling something up or you might get a bit of a wet kitchen ;)

Yes. It is a quarter turn valve that can be positioned closed, fully open, or anywhere in between to control the water flow. It will stay where you put it until you move it, no springs or anything to bring it back closed automatically.

The top unscrews leaving an opening of about 2 inches to pour liquid out. When the cap is screwed on tightly, the contents will not leak out.

Yes, in the "up" position, the opening is sealed, and there should be no drips.

There is a vinyl portion attached to the sprayer which fits snugly into the faucet neck. It holds it tightly and securely in place.

Once you press the button on the spray nozzle it will stay in that position. So if you turn off the faucet and back on again it will still spray in the position you last left it. But no need to press and hold the button. I love this faucet!!!

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.

I'm don't think that the spigot will lock in the open position. I only dispensed one drink at a time, but I would think there could be a leaking problem if left open for many reasons not related to the workmanship of the product, i.e. a child bumping it, etc.

When opened into its full position then yes it will stay open and you have to put it back down. If you just open it partially then it closes itself.

It stays where you leave it. I hold the top of sprayer and it's a gentle pull down or push up. Very good design and really nice swivel sprayer. Doesn't seem like anything would wear out, but that's why I hold the sprayer when changing, to be sure

It's a loose fit when the strainer is not in there. If you are pouring, you'll need to hold the lid in place.

The bottles have a one way valve. You squeeze the bottle to dispense the liquid. You do not have to pull it to open.

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...

Tes, you can lift lid w/ hand (not engaging the pedal system) and it stays open.

We purchased one a while ago because my wife wanted to be able to control the volume of the flow without affecting the water temperature. It works great for that. In the fully open position it doesn't seem to restrict the flow.Hope this helps. Good quality valve.

Pinch the valve, and you may have to stick a wooden match in to open it. It seems that with the moisture trapped inside they stick from time to time but no worry.

You have to unbolt the bracket from the valve, removing the two bolts lets you pull the valve to the open position. Thanks.

I'm not sure if its magnetic or not but it stays open well while pouring and I haven't had a problem with it. It's probably a mechanism within the stopper that keeps it either up while pouring or down while boiling.
