Most are available in single or two handle designs and have various spout lenghts and heights to accommodate different sinks.
Examples of Bathroom Sink Faucets
Single Hole
This style of faucet is generally used on smaller sinks. They are available in two handle and single lever designs and some have an optional deckplate for 4" centerset applications.
4" Centerset
This style of faucet is usually used on smaller sinks and the spout and handles are attached to the base. Styles include two handle and single lever designs. They are also available in “mini-spread” designs.
4" Minispread
This style of faucet is usually used on smaller sinks. The hot handle, spout and cold handle are 3 separate pieces giving the look and feel of a larger widespread model. These minispread faucets are only available in two handle designs.
8" Widespread
This style of faucet is usually used on larger sinks and most styles stretch up to 16" center set. The hot handle, spout and cold handle are 3 separate pieces and are only available in two handle designs. They can also be used for deck-mount vessel style sinks. Please check the spout height and spout reach to determine proper use.

Vessel fillers or wall-mount faucets are usually used with vessel style sinks. They are available in two handle and single lever designs, and have various spout lengths to accommodate different bowl sizes.
Things to keep in mind if you’re going to install the faucet yourself:
Make sure you have all the necessary parts. Even though our residential faucets come complete with handles, the pop-up drain assembly and are ready to install, there are a number of connection parts that are required and have to be purchased separately. These include items such as the P-trap, water supplies and shut-off valves.
Installing a new faucet is a simple project and a great way to upgrade the look of your bathroom. You'll need to spend some time under the sink making connections and tightening nuts, empty the area so you can work easier. Also, make sure the faucet body is nice and square to the edge of the sink as you tighten nuts to secure the faucet.
Before choosing your new bathroom sink the mounting surface has to be taken into consideration. If you are installing an undermount style sink on a thick marble base, you may require a faucet extension so that it lays flush with the surface. If you choose a pedestal or wall-mount sink where the fittings are exposed, you may want to coordinate the finish of the drain and P-trap with the rest of your faucets and fittings.
Finish OptionsThere are many finish options available to suit any décor. Some options are; chrome, polished brass, chrome/brass, brushed nickel, satin nickel, French gold, brushed chrome, oil rubbed bronze, weathered copper, French bronze, pewter, white, almond, biscuit, satine, platinum and more.
One of the most important things to remember about finishes is that each manufacturer’s finishing process is different, and the color will vary slightly. To ensure that all the faucets and accessories match, buy them from the same manufacturer. Most manufacturers have made choosing easy by offering beautiful “collections” of faucets and their matching accessories to complete your entire bathroom. These typically include the sink, tub and shower faucets, whirlpool faucets and matching towel rings, bars and paper holders.
