The Brizo SmartTouch Single Hole Faucet Template provides fabricators with precision-engineered hole pattern specifications for installing Brizo's innovative SmartTouch technology faucets. This DXF template ensures accurate single-hole cutouts in granite, quartz, marble, and solid surface countertops. SmartTouch faucets feature patented touch-activation technology, allowing users to start and stop water flow with a simple tap to the spout, handle, or faucet body. Our template is designed for CNC router compatibility and hand fabrication, ensuring your installations meet Brizo's exact specifications for proper fit and function.
Installation Overview
Brizo SmartTouch faucets require a single 1-3/8 inch diameter hole for installation, suitable for deck thicknesses up to 3 inches. The faucet mounts from above the deck with a mounting assembly that secures from below. Installation requires access beneath the countertop for plumbing connections and battery pack installation (4 AA batteries for touch activation). The template accounts for proper hole positioning to ensure adequate clearance for the sink basin and backsplash. Fabricators should verify sink placement before cutting to maintain optimal spacing. SmartTouch models typically feature pull-down spray heads with magnetic docking, requiring sufficient overhead clearance. The single-hole design simplifies installation compared to widespread models while maintaining professional aesthetics.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming your CNC router for Brizo SmartTouch installations, use a 1-3/8 inch core bit or step up from a pilot hole with progressive passes. For granite and engineered stone, maintain feed rates between 30-50 IPM with adequate water cooling to prevent thermal cracking. The hole should be cut perpendicular to the deck surface with minimal taper. For quartz materials, use diamond-tipped core bits and increase cooling to manage resin content. Edge quality is critical - burrs or chips around the hole perimeter can prevent proper gasket sealing. Post-cutting, polish the hole interior with 220-grit or finer abrasive to ensure smooth insertion of the faucet mounting hardware. Test fit with mounting hardware before final installation. For manual fabrication, use a 1-3/8 inch diamond hole saw with constant water feed, applying steady pressure to prevent walking or binding.
Material Compatibility
This template is compatible with all standard countertop materials including granite, quartz, engineered stone, marble, soapstone, quartzite, and solid surface materials like Corian. The 1-3/8 inch hole diameter follows industry standards and accommodates Brizo's mounting hardware across all SmartTouch models. For ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton or Neolith, pre-drilling pilot holes is recommended to prevent cracking during core drilling. Laminate countertops can also accommodate SmartTouch faucets but require reinforcement around the hole perimeter to support the faucet weight and usage stress. Concrete countertops should be fully cured (minimum 28 days) before drilling. For live-edge wood or butcher block countertops, seal the hole interior thoroughly after cutting to prevent water damage. The template's single-hole design minimizes material waste and structural impact on the countertop.
Where to Buy
Brizo SmartTouch faucets are available through authorized plumbing distributors, kitchen and bath showrooms, and online retailers including Ferguson, Build.com, and Supply.com. Professional fabricators often work directly with designers and homeowners who source faucets independently. Always request the specific model number from your client to ensure template compatibility - while most SmartTouch models use standard single-hole configurations, verify specifications before cutting. The DXF template is model-agnostic within the SmartTouch single-hole family, but confirm with installation documentation. For bulk orders or commercial projects, contact Brizo's professional sales division for project pricing and technical support. Installation manuals and specification sheets are available at brizo.com or through your distributor partner.
