Faucet Hole Spreads

 

Faucet hole spreads refer to the distance between the mounting holes on a countertop or sink, which determines what type of faucet will fit. Choosing the right spread ensures your faucet fits securely and complements your design.

A single-hole spread is designed for faucets that combine spout and handles in one unit, offering a clean, minimalist look.

A 4-inch spread, often called a centerset, typically accommodates faucets with a base that combines spout and handles, or with separate handles mounted close together.

An 8-inch spread, or widespread, fits faucets with individual hot and cold handles placed further apart, offering a more upscale, traditional appearance.

In addition to the main faucet holes, extra holes can be added for accessories like soap dispensers or air switches for garbage disposals, adding both functionality and convenience to your countertop setup.
