How to Position Faucets With Undermount Sinks

Goto JAKA to know more.

When selecting a faucet for undermount sinks, the number of holes required will depend on the specific design. Typically, single-handle faucets need only one hole, while bridge-style faucets require two, and traditional double-handles generally necessitate three. To find the appropriate hole spacing, you can reference the product specifications or measure the distance between the faucet’s tailpieces. For bathroom faucets, the standard spacing is usually 4 inches between handles or between the spout and handle, while kitchen fixtures typically have an 8-inch spacing.

Tip

During your measurement process, remember that the spacing between faucet tailpieces or holes is always measured "on-center"—this refers to the distance from the center of one tailpiece or hole to the center of another.

Aside from the faucet holes, you might also need to make provisions for additional accessories, including:

• Side sprayer
• Soap dispenser
• Water purifier
• Hot water dispenser

Moreover, if you reside in a locality that mandates it, an air gap might be necessary for your dishwasher installation. This dome-shaped valve sits on the countertop and connects to the dishwasher drain hose. Its function is to thwart any backflow of wastewater into the dishwasher, preventing suction from developing within the drain hoses. If you’re uncertain about whether you require an air gap, it’s advisable to consult your local plumbing code and building regulations.

The arrangement of accessories in relation to the faucet can be somewhat flexible. You can choose to place them close together, as long as they don't obstruct one another, or position them further apart. Ideally, when aligning them behind a sink, it's recommended to keep them spaced within the boundaries defined by the sink edges; otherwise, the countertop could appear disorganized and you'll diminish workable space.
