Choosing the Right Faucet for Your Bathroom Sink
Bathroom sink faucets are categorized by how they are mounted. It’s important to understand your sink’s setup to choose a compatible configuration or to modify it with a deck plate. Even though faucets vary by function and design, all faucets fit into one of these basic categories:
- Widespread faucets fit countertops with three holes spread out across more than 4 inches. The unit includes separate hot water and cold water handles and a spout.
- Single-hole faucets fit a one-hole sink, or a three-hole sink when modified with a deck plate. All temperature and water controls are on one lever, attached to the spout.
- Centerset faucets fit sinks with three holes that are generally 4” and no more than 8 inches apart. A centerset faucet typically features separate hot water and cold water levers and a spout.
- Wall-mounted faucets are a practical option for a vanity or sink deck without holes, and are especially popular with freestanding and vessel-style basins. Install each control separately for versatile placement of your single handle, one-handle, or two-handle unit.
- Hands-free faucets allow for touchless operation of your bathroom sink. Many installation types accommodate these automated spouts, from single-hole setups to three-hole configurations with a deck plate to wall-mount designs. Batteries or hardwiring is required.
