Can this be installed without the base plate?

Yes if you have only one hole in you sink. The plate covers the other holes.

Yes, we had our faucet installed in Granite w/o the base plate. This is the nicest faucet we have ever had. We get so many compliments and it is so functional and heavy duty. You can't go wrong with this item.

The base plate has so many different mounting options I would be very surprised if it did not work. As long as there is a rack it will work .

depending on the width of the fascia, you may not need a mounting plate. Mine bolted directly.

You don't need a base plate necessarily, I installed mine with out a base plate just as is pictures here.

A Blue Ox specific base plate is not required. I had one from a different manufacturer and the Blue Ox tow bar attached just fine.

We did not use the base plate in our install onto granite. I don't recall the exact size of the. Awe plate

To the best of my knowledge reading the instructions, you can install with just one (1) hole and not use the base plate.

Yes it can be installed through a 1-3/8" hole with or without the base plate. I prefer not using the base plate. Also, the o-ring that is needed on the faucet base along with the marching plastic ring is difficult to install. Moen suggests you install it by pushing at 12 o'clock & 6 o'clock then with the other hand push it on at the 3 o'clock & 9 o'clock and then work your way around the o-ring until you seat it.

Yes, and I agree with the response below...works well, looks great and was easy to install! We ended up not using the deck plate because of the way we installed it. It just worked better for our situation. You have the option of doing it either way!

I didn't personally install it. My cabinetmaker did so I don't know the answer to your question. I do know the base plate escutcheon was optional, and we didn't use it.

Yes, the 4 screws can go directly into the drywall without the wall plate. However, the wall plate covers all the imperfections and makes it look professional and a lot nicer. I tried without the wall plate but decided to do the extra work to install the wall plate.

Without a center brace or seperation, yes. You could install a center piece. I think there is a similar model that bolts into the bottom tho

Yes. The base is just a "U" squeezing the unit. I have 2 receivers mounted behind TVs without the base on them.

I would think so, you have to drill your own mounting holes, as this is a blank plate. I used my base plate from my Ryobi as a guide for drilling the holes in my insert plate. Just really pay attention to which way you have the base plate when you drill the holes. Mine worked out very well, and I am very happy with it.

Ditto on JD's answer. I installed without the deck plate and it looks/works great.

Not easily. They extend for the entire length of the chassis, but are held on by (two) screws. It looks like it should be possible to remove the screws and the side plates, but I haven't tried it yet. Don't know if there's a chassis cover under the plates.

I'm assuming you mean the base plate installed on your car. Yes, otherwise you'd have no way of attaching your car to the tow bar.
