1. Preparation
Install the water supplies and drain piping according to the
roughing-in information.
Determine the faucet centerline location. Consider the faucet and
handle escutcheon diameters, the length of the spout, and the
clearance between the spout and the lavatory rim.
NOTE: Take into consideration lavatory shape when determining the
faucet location.
Calculate the faucet centerline measurement by first dividing the
escutcheon diameter by 2, and then adding 1/4" (6mm) to the
result. If necessary, round the calculation up to the nearest 1/16"
(2mm).
Carefully draw the calculated faucet centerline on the cut-out
template. Choose the most suitable location based upon the
following factors:
• compliance with all local plumbing codes
• minimum 2" (5.1cm) distance from the water stream to the
lavatory rim edge. This is important to ensure adequate clearance
for hand washing
• a minimum 1/4" (6mm) distance between the faucet spout and
the lavatory rim
Redraw the faucet centerline as needed to meet these
requirements.
