Sink and faucet question
Hi everybody,
I recently purchased this kohler faucet http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatal...n=2&category=8 And unfortunately I am having a bit of difficulty finding a sink to fit it. It has an 8 inch spread and Lowes and Home Depot don't seem to have the size I am looking for. Many pedestal sinks come with faucet holes drilled this distance apart but I am really looking for a vanity. Is this a very unusual size for a sink?? Anthony |

Anthony That's a pretty unusual faucet but really cool. 8" centers are mostly found on pedestal style sinks, "modern" sinks are 4" Normally one has the sink & gets a faucet to match. You could use: 1)a vanity top with an integral sink with 8" centers I found some of these but they come as complete units: vanity, top/sink WITH a faucet set...pretty spendy http://www.nextag.com/General--27004...ink/brand-html http://www.americanstandard-us.com/P...&prodID=14 18 http://www.antiquehardware.com/product/70010528/ (the cheapest) OR 2) a wooden top vanity with a drop in basin w/o faucet holes, mount the faucet in the vanity top (not my first choice) http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/produc...tem_no=c1502ws OR 3)drop in basin w/ 8" centers http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/produc...m_no=whbtz59-8 cheers Bob |

Anthony Think you will find that kitchen sink standard is 8" OC, and vanity are 4" OC. You can get 6", some places. |

Anthony Kohler makes vanity sinks with this spacing, check the links on the page you provided the link for. The list prices are pretty high but you may find a deal online if you google it. |
