    As for me, the heads should move with a slight resistance so that they cannot be involuntarily (accidentally) opened.

    There may still be a situation that the head is too tight. It is enough to loosen the head clamp by 1/8 - 1/4 turn, but so that there is no leakage and it should rotate easier.

    I'm just not sure if it will fit, because it is a bit different:
    If you enlarge the photos, you will see the difference in the lower part of the heads. Yours has two pins protruding to lock it in the battery and the other one has nothing (another way of locking it in the battery).

    First you need to know what model of what brand your battery is. It looks like Krakow's Armatura. Then the Hansgrohe head will not fit. It remains to either replace the battery or purchase the original manufacturer's head dedicated to your battery model. But always unscrewing and adjusting the water jet will be somewhat difficult. This is due to the construction of the head and the need to maintain tightness.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the stiffness of kitchen faucet heads, particularly regarding a replacement that does not operate smoothly. The original faucet head was replaced multiple times, with the latest being a more expensive model that still exhibits resistance when turning on the water. Users suggest that some resistance is normal to prevent accidental activation, but for those with weaker hands, this can be problematic. Solutions discussed include loosening the head clamp to reduce stiffness, but this can lead to leaks if over-adjusted. Recommendations include considering the original manufacturer's parts for compatibility and performance, as well as exploring brands like Hansgrohe for potential replacements. The importance of identifying the specific model and brand of the faucet is emphasized to ensure proper fit and function.
