There are a wide variety of faucets on the market, which one you choose depends on the hole configuration of your sink.
- A sink with one hole will require a single hole, all-in-one faucet (figure A).
- Sinks with three holes that are set a standard four inches apart are common. A center-set faucet (figure B) will work best.
- If the holes are set wide apart, choose a widespread faucet with two handles (figure C).
- Vessel sinks can rest above the counter top and may allow for a faucet that mounts to the wall or even the floor.
- Gooseneck and low-Roman spout designs are popular, so are ceramic and chrome handles or even child-friendly levers.
- If you’re also replacing the sink, it’s easier to install the faucet before the sink is in place.
- Plumber’s putty forms a good seal between the faucet and the mounting surface.
- Wrapping plumber’s tape around the threads of the faucet valve makes it water-tight.
