I am having trouble installing. I have the faucet with its hoses through the hole in my granite slab countertop. The big brass part is underneath countertop and I want to screw it into the faucet body to tighten the faucet against the countertop. But the brass part under the countertop is too short, and does not mate up with the faucet body. My granite is 3/4 inch, and there is plywood also (maybe 1/2 inch additional). Am I missing something?

We had a plumber install it. He did not report problems. We had our counter top tiled after the faucet was installed

I think you are out of luck in this situation. The faucet is not designed for an inch depth.

I had the same situation, but mine was 1/2" particleboard under my 3cm granite. The brass piece that screws into the faucet does not come on longer length, nor could I find a way to extend it. So I went for the simplest solution; cut a larger hole through your plywood underpayment. It must be large enough for the nut to fit through, as well as whatever tightening tool you. I would suggest a larger hole saw rather than smaller. The brass connector is long enough to fit through the granite itself. It's a nice and attractive faucet, but has no aerator tip. Hope this solves your problem.

It takes a little figuring out, but if you get the right pieces it shouldn't be too hard. Are you wanting it installed beneath the sink running continuously or attached to the faucet running when you require it to? Faucet attachment is easiest.

I installed an under mount sink with granite counter - no problems. Cabinet is well made for the price and I would image you would have no problems with vessel type. You would want to manage clearances for faucet.

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.

You should have received with your faucet 2 braided stainless steel hoses,a threaded rod,mounting plate with a nut ,gasket and a battery pack. First you install the 2 braided hoses into the base of the faucet, on the end of each hose you will see a small male thread with 2 small black o-rings, put a small amount or petroleum jelly on the end of each hose and screw each one into the base of the faucet (be careful not to crossthread them) now it is time to screw the small threaded rod in the hole between the 2 hoses. You should have a small gasket to install between the base of the faucet and the counter, install that gasket and insert the assembled faucet into the hole in your counter/sink. Now you will take your mounting plate and slide it over the threaded rod on the base of the faucet, Once the plate is on install the nut and tighten it down. This plate and nut will hold your faucet securely to your counter or sink. As for hooking up your hoses to your water valves, Many of these waterfall faucets come with 1/2" female ends, If your shutoff valves are 1/2" male you wont have any problems but many homes in the US have 3/8 male valves, If this is the case you will need to reduce the supply lines to fit your valves. The battery pack takes (I think) 4 AA batteries, install the batteries, plug the box into faucet and mount it somewhere under the cabinet. Hope this helps...Mike

I had to use a kitchen pull out faucet with a SINGLE hole. The hose are drilled to accept laundry tub type faucets which are 4 inch on center. Not a lot of choices with that other then using a bathroom type faucet. That does not give you mutch clearance if you was to put a large bucket or something in the sink. So I had to drill a center hole for the faucet I chose. Then I used two faucet hole covers to cover the predrilled holes. Looks pretty good. Also, the sink material is thin. This posed a problem when tightening down the faucet. If you could find a rubber/metal spacer that would fit the faucet shank that would help. Will work even without that, you'll just have to crank down on it. I had to use a kitchen pull out faucet with a SINGLE hole.

The unit requires a dedicated hole...if your faucet has a sprayer hole you can use that. If you are installing the faucet onto the granite, you will need another hole drilled in the granite for the unit. Best I can do without seeing the set up. Hope that helps.

A comment about the counter thickness comment... There is an extension you can order if the counter is thicker than the stock unit will fit. You do NOT need to recess the faucet into the countertop.

When I installed mine it fit the sink well. You could slide it around some from one said to the other and so forth. It has elongated brass pipes so is easy to install. I would think it should work fine...my sink is stainless steel with two sinks. I have always found that most faucets fit it well. Hope this helps.

You should be connecting the faucet to fexible "faucet connector" hoses which then connect to the water inlet valves under your sink. These valves normally connect to your " INNNER diameter copper pipe that supplies the water (comes out from the wall under sink. You can choose to change the inlet valves (usually screw right off/on) or use flexible faucet connector hoses that have connectors at each end which fit your valve and faucet. Take the faucet to home depot or other store to be sure. Get faucet connector hoses that match that end. Measure the INNER (hole) and OUTER (threads) diameters of the inlet shut-off valves under the sink. Also measure the inner & outer diameters of the fitting that is soldered on to the " copper pipe coming from the wall. You need to know which measurement the shut-off valve package is referring to when you look at the package at the store. BTW- If you decide to replace your shut-off valves under your sink (we did - always a good idea if you don't know how old they are) use the turn style. They work better in an emergency, or when doing any plumbing work on your sink!) If you do this, shut the water off at the main valve to the house, put a drip container under the pipe fitting to catch any dripping water. Drain the water from the pipes by opening 1 or 2 faucets at the highest and lowest points in the house. When it stops dripping, you can take off the sink connectors and shut-off valves under the sink. Then so your work. Finally, some tips: 1. Look up how to do this on youTube. There are great videos there. 2. Take photos (we use our cell phones) or video when you remove each piece, so you remember where evrerything goes when replacing it. Also, it help when you're explaining what you need when you talk to the clerk at the hardware store. Have fun!

Stefannie, if your holes in the granite are the same as a standard hole in a sink this faucet should fit. Unfortunately I cannot give you the diameter as I have installed the faucet. I would recommend this faucet!

MY SINK came with a drain. The sink, waterfall faucet are great --- look even better than picture. BE CAREFUL WHEN INSTALLING. We have a 22" wide counter top - so we were concerned with the spacing of the faucet to the back of sink. Our spacing is like insturctions BUT should be 2" between the crook in the faucet and the back lip of the sink --- if not, the water from the faucet is right on top of the drain stopper causing the water to splash a lot. Mounting sink also needs special care --- glass sink is not always perfectly flat and may wobble. Use a sticky (2 sided) foam pad around the hole to secure sink and eliminate wobble. Hope this all helps. MY SINK came with a drain. The sink, waterfall faucet are great --- look even better than picture. BE CAREFUL WHEN INSTALLING.

From the edge of the faucet to the tip of the spout is 4 3/4 inches. The high from the granite top to the bottom of the spout is 8 inches at the highest spot. The spout has a downward bend and the height is 7 1/2 inches. Mine is mounted to a granite top that is approx 1 1/4 inches thick. There was no problem mounting this with a vessel sink. I think the granite installer made sure that the unit was at least 2 inches from the edge of the vessel sink top, I hope this helps

Mine is under mounted with granite counter tops. It is fantastic !! I think you can have it either under the counter or over, pretty sure it can be done both ways. It's a big sink and I can't tell you how many people make comments on it . Just get it, you don't regret it.I tried to attach a photo but can't for some reason.I'll send you the photo if you send me your email.

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.

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.

We have the satin stainless which matches our brushed stainless steel sink and love it! The only thing I am not happy about. the way our plumber installed it, and said it could only be installed this way in our house, is the the soap dispenser just clears the edge of the sink - if I had known before hand I would have had only the faucet installed. Enjoy the faucet, we love it, and would very much think you would enjoy it!
