Single-hole and single-handle faucets integrate the spout and mixing handle or handles into one fitting. Compact and easy-to-use, they require only one faucet hole drilling. Some faucets will include an optional six-inch cover plate for existing four-inch drill installations.
Center set faucets for standard four-inch drill installations may have a single mixing lever or two handles mounted onto a six-inch plate. These are recommended for smaller, pre-existing, pre-drilled basins.
Widespread faucets offer the greatest design flexibility. A minispread faucet has three separate pieces in a smaller, standard four-inch drilling. A widespread faucet has a standard spread or drilling of at least eight inches.
Wall-mounted faucets for above-the-counter and freestanding basins require a longer spout for extended reach.
