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.
Calculate the faucet centerline measurement by first dividing the
escutcheon diameter by 2, and then adding 1/4 (6 mm) to the
result. If necessary, round the calculation up to the nearest 1/16
(2 mm).
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 (5.1 cm) distance from the water stream to the
lavatory rim edge. This is important to ensure adequate clearance
for hand washing
a minimum 1/4 (6 mm) distance between the faucet spout and
the lavatory rim
Redraw the faucet centerline as needed to meet these
requirements.
Draw a line on the cut-out template a minimum of 2 (5.1 cm)
behind the final faucet centerline. This is the minimum
backsplash locator line.
