My sink is four-hole. Can I use a "plate" to cover the unused holes - would that make installation impossible?

Yes, you can cover any unused holes. In fact, the faucet comes with one in the box. You would have to cover 2 though, so you might want to buy 2 so they match. My sink is also 4 holes, but I put soap dispensers in mine, one for hand soap, one for dish soap, and it worked out GREAT! Now I no longer have dish soap and hand soap on the counter. Love it!

You do not need any deck plate (Escutcheon) for single hole sinks. If you wanted one plate that works, consider this:8" Kitchen Sink Faucet Hole Cover Deck Plate Escutcheon, Brushed NickelSome people like to have the faucet elevated a touch, even with just one hole, and some need to cover up other holes. I used that plate with this faucet which were installed on a standard four hole, single bowl kitchen sink and all worked perfectly. Always remember to use plumber's putty or silicone as your job may require. You do not need any deck plate (Escutcheon) for single hole sinks.

If you are referring to the oval plate around the faucet in the picture then no it is not required. It is optional for those sinks with a hole. Our sink required the metal plate and it installed fine.

I called Kraus Customer Support and they recommended the Decor Star PLATE-10C 10" Kitchen Sink Faucet Hole Cover Deck Plate Escutcheon Chrome for this purpose. (Inexpensive, and it's available on Amazon, too.)

Yes, that's what I did for mine. One hold and look flush with my stainless steel sink. My sink has 3 holes, I used one hole for Delta faucet without using the plate, 2rd hole for the soap dispenser that comes with the set. And I bought the extra soap dispenser one just for my hand soap to fill on the 3rd hole. But if your sink only come with one hole then you only can install the faucet with the plate, unless you have to make the extra hold to install the soap dispenser.

No... in case you have 3 holes in your existing sink basin(if any).... this plate helps to cover other two holes....

I'm not sure anymore, but the "plate" on top is 1 3/4", and it covers the hole. If I recall, our sink hole's opening is 1 1/2" and I was worried it'll be too close for comfort. The sink hole cover is practically "flushed" to the sink's surface. My husband had to be very careful so that no gap showed. It was perfect and flushed flat on the surface. It may be a little elevated on the surface in your case, but it doesn't look bad- the plate is thin and not unsightly.

Sure. Unless your faucet has a sprayer that requires the 4th hole. If your faucet has a pullout spout or a sprayer that comes out from the deck of the faucet or if it doesn't have a sprayer you would need something to cover the 4th hole. And a dispenser is the most useful way to use it.

No. We have a single hole. The plate is included if you have 2 other holes to cover. It looks nice without the plate.

Hi. The sink comes with openings already cut. I needed 3 so my installer put a matching cap over the unused fourth one. I don't know if this sink could come with only 1 opening, or even none, in which case you'd need to have your installer drill one. Maybe a phone call? Good luck!

I'm not sure... but I'd think it could be done. After all... a hole is a hole. IIRC, there may have been a version of that sink with 4 holes punched. In any event.. it's a very well made sink. You would need good tools to cut a hole, and even then, it probably won't be easy. Take it to a metal shop and have an expert do the work.

No, you need a 3rd hole for the faucet. I drilled a hole for the faucet without any trouble since the sink is made of fiber

Yes, they are designed to cover open holes in the sink. They should be screwed down tight to avoid leaks underneath the sink. You would use these if you switched faucets from a three-hold faucet mount to a single mount. These would effectively block the unneeded hot and cold faucet handle openings so that you wouldn't be required to change sinks as well.

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

Good Day to youIts a small tube , like 1/4 of an inch , so just a small hole exceeding 1/4 would be fine , and in my case it didnt show because the sink and toilet are realy near each other.Don't worry. Hope you will own and enjoyHave a good day

Not at all! If you're using a single hole application, the stone fabricator can predrill his hole, then center middle hole on sink during install.Fantastic sink, by the way!

yes, i have install several of these sinks. the only issue is to plan the ptrap so it does not conflict with the drain and the disposal.
