If you are planning to replace an existing faucet, all you need to do is evaluate its installation configuration and measure the overall height, spout height, and spout range of your current faucet referring to the diagram above. Then, choose an alternative with similar dimensions.

Otherwise, when choosing a new style, check to see if your sink has mounting holes available. Then, follow the steps below to determine the best faucet for your installation setup.

Step 2: Figure out the number and diameter of the holes

To ensure your new faucet is compatible with your existing sink, determine how many mounting holes are available. If the mounting plate of your previous faucet is hard to tell, check under the sink for a better look. Faucets require 1 to 5 holes, some models can be adapted to different configurations with mounting plates or other accessories to cover any unused holes. Existing holes may need to be enlarged or completely covered to suit the style and installation of your faucet. Some faucets can even be wall mounted if your plumbing supports it.

Besides, use a tape measure to measure the diameter of the hole to make sure the faucet’s pipe will fit in the hole. To ensure your new faucet is compatible with your existing sink, determine how many mounting holes are available.

Step 3: Measure the center of the faucet

If your current installation has multiple holes, measure the distance between the center of the leftmost hole and the center of the rightmost hole. To ensure your new faucet will fit your current installation setup, this measurement should be no less than the “Minimum Faucet Center” width listed under Faucet Specifications

Step 4: Check surrounding space

If your faucet is in front of a wall, measure the distance from the center of each mounting hole to the wall to determine the maximum faucet base depth your sink area can support. If you have a window or cabinet above your sink, measure up from the center mounting hole to find the maximum overall height and make sure your new faucet will fit comfortably underneath.

To find the ideal spout range, measure from the center mounting hole forward to the center of the sink. This will ensure that if your mounting hole is set further than the edge of the sink, it will still reach the middle of the sink and make washing dishes more comfortable.

Conclusion

After completing the above steps, you can roughly understand the size of the faucet you need, and then choose your favorite fixture and faucet according to the parameters provided by the manufacturer.
