How much clearance is needed for the handle from the back wall in order to operate properly when placed on the right side
2053637
The handle travels approximately 2.5 inches from the off (straight up/center position) toward the hot side and 2.5 inches toward the cold side. Recommend you try positioning the handle in the middle (front) of the faucet. We had it on the right side and changed it to the front where we find it much more convenient and accessible to either hand. That would, of course, also eliminate any back wall clearance concerns you might have. Good Luck.

In my sink, the center of the handle (or should I say, the circle at the base of the handle) is three inches from the rear wall. That leaves a little over an inch from the handle to the back wall.

At least three inches from wall to center of hole, look on the Kohler website for the specs.

Well, not much. If you look at the base which is ~10.5" x 2.5" which sits on your sink, the handle only goes past that plate (birds eye view) just over 0.5" which isn't much at all. I have ~2" just past it's back position room from our back splash. Hope this helps and I can take a photo and email it to you if you'd like?

If by handle you mean the valve and temperature control handle then no more than a couple of inches.

I am not sure of the specific measurement , but 15 centimeters on either side should be fine for clearance.

It's 15.5 inches from the bumpy backside to the front panel. There's a plastic part protruding to protect the power cord that goes an additional quarter inch, so the front would be almost 16" from the wall. The handle sticks out another 1.25" from the front panel.

About 3 1/4" from centerline of faucet to back of handle, or about 2 1/4" from back of faucet to handle, when pushed to the back.

I guess the question is "the back OR the side"? It comes out of the side (right-lower side of the handle).

I would say you need at least 3". We have 3.5" and there is about 1/2" of clearance between the handle and the back splash when the handle is all the way back.

I would guesstimate about an inch or so just from memory. I'll try to remember to measure the length of the handle when I get home tonight.

you could move the unit to the right to the left up or down for any clearance problems

Extend the handle to the length that you need, and twist to the right. Then twist to the left to shorten and to the right to hold that position.

8 1/4 to top of handle in off position W/O base. add a 1/2 in for travel of handle. not sure I understand ref to under mount sink and hight as that would be personal preference and perhaps limiting factors in the room design.

I think they say 3-4" on either side. I haven't used it much but it doesn't seem to get very hot around the sides. I think the installation manual is available online.

With this faucet, depending on the clearance you have behind the sink you can have the handle on ether side without a problem.

You can place the back on different sides whichever you need. This allows the handle to change based on what your needs are. The arm cannot be removed but doesn't need to be.

If you push the handle all the way back to the hot position or pull it all the way forward for cold. I would say the distance is less than an inch in either direction from measuring at that ring that you can see at the base of the faucet where it attaches to the counter mount. I have a granite surround which measures 5 inches from wall to sink edge, and my faucet is mounted in the center of it with approximately two and half inches behind and two and half inches in front from centerpoint and the handle does not get anywhere near the wall. I put a wooden spoon handle behind my faucet just now and it appeared to not go deeper than the actual water spout portion of the faucet, certainly not more than half an inch behind the actual faucet stem that transports the water.

From the inside looking out, if the handle is on the right side you'll need a right. From the outside looking in it's reversed, if handle is on the left you'll need a right.

It can be as close as a few inches from the wall. No special clearance is needed.
