How to Position Faucets With Undermount Sinks

Goto JAKA to know more.

Your faucet may need one, two or three holes, depending on the style. Single-handle faucets frequently require only a single hole, while bridge-style faucets require two holes, and traditional double-handle faucets often call for three. When more than one hole is required, you'll find the required hole spacing in the product specifications, or you can measure the distance between faucet's tailpieces yourself. It's typically 4 inches between handles or between the spout and the handle for bathroom faucets and 8 inches for kitchen fixtures.

Tip

When measuring the spacing between faucet tailpieces or between holes in the countertop, the correct measurement is always "on-center"&#; from the center of one tailpiece or hole to the center of another.

In addition to holes for the faucet, you may need holes for one or more of the following accessories:

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

In addition, you may need an air gap for the dishwasher, if you live in a state that requires one. An air gap is a dome-shaped valve that sits on the countertop and connects to the dishwasher drain hose. Its purpose is to prevents waste water from flowing backwards into the dishwasher by preventing suction from develping in the drain hoses. If you're not sure whether you need one, check with your local plumbing code and building requirements.

The spacing of accessories relative to the faucet is more or less optional. They can be close together, as long as they aren't crowding each other, or far apart. When lining them up behind a sink, however, it's best to keep them within the space defined by the edges of the sink; otherwise, the countertop will look chaotic and you'll lose working space.
