So I installed a new kitchen faucet.
The faucet is a Hansgrohe Axor Carlton 14880 series.
It is a heavy faucet as heavy as a bowling ball, the old PP faucet I took out was all plastic.
Problem with this faucet is it's a bit high and if I turn on full blast there is a bit of a splash from the bottom of the sink.
My old PP kitchen mixer is a pull out model - which we rarely use the pull out, but one thing it had was a button you can switch between a normal stream versus a wider spray.
I think they sell kitchen spray attachments to the spout right? Are these spray attachments all "standard"? I unscrewed the aerator and see a male thread. Is this something that is standard or proprietary? Will I need to buy a Hansgrohe spout attachment or can I use anything from Franke, Delta even Danke?

It SHOULD be a standard thread, but it doesn't HAVE to be. You would have to compare its thread with a gauge to be sure. I am not sure what kind of "spray attachement" you are referring to.

I think it's a proprietary thread.
I Googled aerator size and I found that there are three "standards". Dime size, or nickle size and quarter size housings. I unthread the aerator and it seems to be close to quarter size.
I happen to have another Hansgrohe faucet in the bathroom and I unscrewed it's aerator and even the housing size of the two aerator are almost the same one would not thread onto the other. The thread is smaller than a standard 1/2" threaded connection in diameter, but smaller than a 3/4". The threads are much finer. I have used Grohe and Hansa products and some of their connections are metric, and in the US they provide an additional adapter to turn those metric connections to US connections. I wonder if this spout connection is some odd ball metric size.
hj as far as spray attachments what I mean is they sell various attachments you thread onto the end of a kitchen spout with the aerator removed to add directional flexibility and more spray patterns. Things like these...
