How large a hole is needed to mount this sink to the counter surface? How is it secured? I realize that a separate hole will be needed for the faucet.

I need to know how big the holes have to be to install this faucet. I am replacing my existing one and it has metal screwtype that fits in the holes. I bought one but it has plastic and they are too big. Can you show a picture of the bottom of the faucet so I can see how it will attach.

I'm a general contractor so maybe I can help you out, Are you trying to install this on a granite or other solid surface material? If so you need to go under the cabinet and drill up under the faucet hole with a 2" hole saw through the plywood base as I had to on my granite countertop this should give you enough room for the faucet and the mounting nut.

The faucet head is metal. I have no idea what size hole, my granite contractor cut the size for it. I believe you could mount on either size of the sink. I've only had the faucet for a month or so but it seems like a decent quality faucet for the price.

Hello,There are 3 holes pre-drilled for a standard 8" faucet spread. The marble countertop already comes assembled and attached to the cabinet.Thank you!Kitchen Bath Collection

This is a single-hole unit, as is my sink. I don't remember if it came with a plate to cover the additional holes. (Maybe an internet search of Pfister's site will tell you what's included in the box?) I have it installed flush with the sink. Sorry I can't help beyond that ...

The countertop was already adhered to the cabinet when we received it. The only part that wasn't was the backsplash. The faucet holes appear to be 4 inches apart. Let me know if you have any additional questions. We've been pretty happy with it. The faucet is not exactly the best quality but it will work until I decide to change it. Kelly Johnson

There aren't faucet holes..this is a under-mount sink and they drill the faucet holes into the countertop.

Hi! As you can see in the picture, there are no faucet holes. We knew we were installing a wall mount faucet, and chose this sink accordingly. It is undermount; we built a base mount for it, and the countertop was cut to rest around & against the sink tightly, with a thin bead of caulk in between The only thing I would do differently now, is mount the faucet lower on the wall and use a faucet that extends out farther, as we have "splash" problems with water getting on the counter part at the top/back portion of sink. But, this was a design flaw on our part; all-in-all we are very happy with this sink. I hope this helps! Hi! As you can see in the picture, there are no faucet holes.

My sink is top mounted. Like you, I found it hard to tell from their description (sounded like it could be done either way...) My contractor was willing to install it undermounted - but I thought it might get damaged. The template that comes with it says it can be installed either way...? I think an undermount is available with a different model number. The faucet holes are (easily) drilled through the sink - not through the countertop. I have it installed in my laundry room and I do like the large size, particularly the depth - and the little "shelf" - so even as a top mount, I'm happy with my purchase. Hope that helps.

There are no holes in this sink. The faucet would be mounted in your countertop directly behind the sink.

Pretty sure the flat metal part it's mounted on in the picture is optional. It was only useful on my sink to cover up the two holes there for handles. No idea about how a granite counter would change things. I recall the threaded portion had quite a bit of length, so if you're worried about the thickness I don't think it should be a problem.

This faucet is designed for single hole installation. If you can find a three hole plate that will match the application, good luck. The threaded assembly shaft which penetrates the counter is long enough to accept the added height of a plate (1/4" - 3/8"). This faucet relies on a strong, dense counter to attach to. If you put a flimsy plate in between the faucet base and counter you will cause the unit to be wobbly. This faucet is tall and heavy. Because of the height it produces increased torque when used due to leverage. If you really want it then buy it, then find a plate to match. Install and see how it performs. I would not do it if it were me. One other solution is to use only the center hole and add either plugs in the remaining two holes or put accessory items there such as soap dispenser etc. BTW do not buy the Kraus soap dispenser, it is cheap. Buy the Kohler one.

There is a 1 1/8" raised border which goes all the way around the sink, but there is a protrusion from the bottom of the border which leaves a lip of 3/8" to sit on the counter. The installation instructions show that the hole should be cut to leave 1/4" for the lip. The flat part at the top, which contains the holes for the faucet, is 4" measured from the basins to the top edge of the sink.

There are no holes in the sink for the faucet. We put ours on top of slate and had one hole drilled in the back of the slate for the faucet. Looks great. I love it.

You will need a pop up drain but you will not need the mounting ring. The sink will sit on top of the counter you will need to drill a hole or make a cut out large enough for the pop up drain to fit.

the faucet in the picture is not a wall mount, it comes up through the vanity top behind the sink. I put a wall mount faucet on mine, but that takes a significant plumbing change to run the pipe up through the wall then through the drywall
