I purchased a 1.375" diamond hole cutter bit that requires water when drilling each of the three holes required into a granite top. Not as difficult as it sounds, you just need a make a dam and have some water standing by. When the hole gets dry, stop and add some water. Good Luck, Greg MacCarthy

Thank you but I haven't brought the faucet yet but I need to know the drill size to give to the company designing the counter top as soon as possible.

The easiest way to get it right is simple, because hole sizes vary depending on the faucet. Measure across the threads, which is probably somewhere between 3/4" and 1". The hole should be just big enough for the threaded portion to go through the holw without forcing it.

I'm not sure. I only purchased the sink. A handyman installed it. I guess I'd say make sure that that "plate" that holds the faucet is long enough to cover the extra hole. Sorry I'm not more help.

I installed this faucet with no any issue, so did not pay any attention to the size of the hole, but I did not use base plate. so I measure the hole at base plate, IS 1 15/16" exactly, LESS than 2". And the base of the faucet is 2 3/8". hope this help.

My granite countertop is 1&a; quarter inches thick. The threads of the faucet are 2&a; quarter inches longer than that under the counter,so totally it's about three and a half inches long of threads before putting it through the hole on the counter

I used a 1/2 inch diamond drill bit (it's not like a normal bit, it's hollow in the middle), you can purchase at your local home improvement store. There are videos that will show you the procedure. I just saw the other comments, those are wrong. I just checked my drill bit to make sure, it is 1/2 inch. DON'T use anything bigger or you will have a giant hole in your nice counter tops.

The instructions don't tell you what size hole. My husband doesn't know what size he ended up drilling. He suggests getting the faucet and then drilling or enlarging the hole. Sorry I can't be of more help. I love this faucet. It is so different.

It was the standard size hole that came in my granite. A single whole is how my house was made. This is the nicest faucet I've owned, my wife loves it.

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!

Your 1-3/8" sinktop hole will be just fine. It will be covered completely by the base of the faucet. The faucet base is almost 2" in diameter. Hope this helps.

The sink is designed to be mounted under the countertop. There are no holes cut in the sink to accommodate a faucet. Given the heavy gauge I would say drilling holes is not an option.I would contact Kraus or the distributor for a recommendation. We are VERY HAPPY with this sink. It is pure quality throughout.

The installation instructions refer to two different scenarios concerning hole sizes to drill. One if you're going to install the faucet thru a finished deck and the other if you're going to install tile after rough in. The former says to drill 1.5 " holes and install from underneath deck. The latter says to drill 2.0" holes, install rough in onto sub deck using supplied screws (from above) and then tile around cardboard tubes. I personally will have 5.5" between spout and valve center to center. . 4" is min. 8" is max

Yes, you need a 1/2" hole minimum size for the faucet. Some dealers put in a 5/8" hole to allow for other faucets in the future which may be of a different size.Mark

This is a standard 4" centerset faucet. The holes are standard size for a 4" cutout. if you got to the A/S website, they will have a technical sheet showing the exact hole sizes.

A standard hole is usually 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" (inches) that's what you will find in most vanities, I bought my vanity at Ikea and it fit perfectly; what will go through the hole are 2 small hoses so you won't have any problem running them through the hole.

It is probably half the size of the base of the faucet. Mine came with paperwork that had a template with it. My granite guy actually used that, but has since thrown that away.

The threaded piece is an inch and a quarter. Should fit through a standard sink hole.
