Do I need to make a hole in my sink area or countertop to install the faucet that comes with it?
1516628
yes, but some installers use the hole for the spray attachment if it isn't used much and cap off the fitting under the faucet. the hole is only about 7/16 or 1/2 inch in diameter and usually put in the corner of the stainless steel sink.

If your sink is not predrilled with a hole, then yes if you plan to use a sink faucet. If you plan to route it to your fridge water dispenser only, then no. We removed the soap dispenser on our sink and just used that hole.

If there is not already one there - yes. I just took out a soap dispenser that was mounted to my sink. If you must cut a hole I would do some homework first. Your sink is likely made of stainless steel, so make sure you have the appropriate tool.

Hi Cheery Girl, Yes, you will have to drill a hole unless you want to sacrifice say a hand sprayer using a previously drilled hole.

There are two versions of the sink, a self-rimming version (995-0) and an undermount version (995-U-0). We purchased the self-rimming version, which mounts on top of the counter. For either one, I think the instructions have you install the faucet on the higher area in the upper left of sink picture. Holes need to be cut in the sink, not the countertop. Here is link for the install instructions from the Sterling website for the self-rimming version of the sink - http://www.sterlingplumbing.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/1084460_2.pdf. Here is a link for the spec sheet of the undercounter version (no install instructions on the Sterling website) - http://www.sterlingplumbing.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/1066436_4.pdf.

Dear Lynn, Unfortunately no. All counter tops comes with holes for sinks and faucets.

You do need a hole. We did not wanted to drill it so my husband installed a small shelve under the sink cabinet and attached faucet to it. We just get our water from there.

This is an undermount sink. The countertop goes over the top of the edge. The hole for the faucet is put in your countertop, granite, quartz or other. Hope this helps.

Yes, faucet installation hole is pre-drilled. Most sinks will be drilled and will state number of holes and their placement. This sink may or may not be available with an opposite corner drill. You should check to see if available.

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

Hi Dr S,Do you mean removing your regular faucet and fitting the Culligan faucet into the space? That would depend on the size of the hole in your sink. This came from the manual:The faucet fits through a 9/16-inchhole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 13⁄8" or 11⁄2" diameter holes that may be used for faucet installation.If these pre-drilled holes cannot be used or are in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary to drill a9/16-inch or 5/8-inch hole in the sink to accommodate the faucet.Hope it helps.

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.

No, this and most faucets require three holes. One each for the water lines to each handle (valve) and one for the sink stopper.

The sink comes with the faucet shown in the picture. I believe it had three holesand they were 8 inches apart. I love the vanity. For the price it is a very good-looking vanity.

This is an under mount sink. The holes will need to be in the counter itself, not in the sink.

Make sure you do a lay out of the hole and circumference of the sink first tha will determine where the faucet will be position, I am a granite guy I've done this numerous times, lay out is the trick.

You will only need a cut-out for the drain and the faucet. Placement and size of the cut outs for the faucet and drain depend on your type of faucet and vanity. We simply measured the drain and faucet once we got it and drilled holes to fit. Really simple.

You need to separately purchase and countertop, sink, and faucet you might want on there. I pieced together a glass vessel and black granite and liked the outcome very much.

follow the faucet install instructions. as the other response provided, the faucet doesn't penetrate the sink flanges, only in the countertop.

It doesn't matter. You should have enough room to install faucet either way. Faucet comes with a plastic mounting tool. Makes it much easier
