Default What hole size for installing a sink faucet?

Hi,

My plumber is coming tomorrow morning and he is expecting me to have
prepaired the vanity top for a faucet installation. (It was a custom
top and doesn't have any holes in it for the plumbing.)

I have the faucet, and I drilled a 3/4" hole becuase that slightly
exceeded the diameter of the threads on the faucet. But then I
realized that the plumbing part of the faucet has a wider part.
Anyway, it's hard to explain, but the bottom line is that I don't know
what size holes to drill and how to determine it.

The included instructions assume that the holes are already there.

Is there such a thing as a standard hole size for the faucet's
plumbing?

My faucet is this:

Thanks!

If the included instructions do not include hole size measurements, you
bought a product from a manufacturer who was just kidding about being in the
faucet business. Made in China, maybe? The manufacturer's web site has
links to PDF files for installation & measurement. The latter file is one
blank page. The former link leads to a broken web page containing nothing.

Here's the web page, in case you want to be nauseated by the non-existent
help they're providing:

You got boned. Return the thing and reschedule the plumber. A manufacturer
like that doesn't deserve anyone's money. Get yourself a Moen faucet. Here's
what a spec sheet is supposed to look like:
