The Brizo Solna Single Hole Faucet Template delivers fabrication-ready specifications for one of Brizo's most popular contemporary kitchen faucet collections.

Installation Overview
Brizo Solna single-hole faucets install through a standard 1-3/8 inch diameter opening, compatible with deck thicknesses from 1 to 3 inches. The faucet features a secure mounting system with an escutcheon plate that conceals the mounting hardware and provides a finished appearance. Installation is straightforward: the faucet body passes through from above, with a rubber gasket providing the seal, followed by mounting hardware tightened from below. The Solna's 360-degree swivel spout provides full sink coverage, typically with a 9-inch reach. Some Solna models include pull-down spray heads with magnetic docking technology, while others feature articulating spouts. Verify your specific model before fabrication, though all single-hole Solna variants use the same mounting hole size. Supply line connections are flexible braided hoses with standard 3/8-inch compression fittings.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC router with a 1-3/8 inch diameter circle at the designated faucet position. Use carbide or diamond-coated core bits for natural stone materials, with continuous water cooling throughout the cutting process. Recommended feed rates are 35-45 IPM for granite and 40-55 IPM for quartz, adjusting based on material hardness and machine capabilities. Create clean, perpendicular holes without taper by ensuring proper bit alignment and avoiding excessive downward pressure. For materials prone to chipping like quartzite or marble, consider a two-stage cutting process: rough cut to 90% depth, then finish with a slower final pass. The hole edge finish should be smooth with minimal burring - post-process with 180-220 grit diamond pads if necessary. When working with bookmatched slabs, mirror your hole positioning precisely using the template's centerpoint reference. Always test your CNC program on scrap material before cutting finished slabs.
Material Compatibility
This Brizo Solna template is universally compatible with natural stone, engineered materials, and solid surfaces. For granite slabs, the 1-3/8 inch hole can be cut cleanly without structural concerns, even in materials with pronounced veining or mineral inclusions - position strategically to avoid weak points. Quartz and engineered stone handle perfectly due to uniform composition; maintain adequate cooling to prevent resin degradation during cutting. Marble and softer stones require gentler cutting speeds and extra care at breakthrough to prevent chipping on the underside. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton, Neolith, or Lapitec demand specialized tooling and slower cutting speeds due to extreme density. Solid surface materials (Corian, Hi-Macs, Staron) cut easily with standard carbide bits but may require additional support around the hole for heavier faucet models. Concrete countertops must be fully cured and may benefit from pre-drilling a pilot hole. Wood and butcher block installations require waterproof sealant application to the hole interior immediately after cutting.
Where to Buy
Brizo Solna faucets are sold through authorized dealers including Ferguson, Build.com, eFaucets, and local kitchen and bath showrooms. As a fabricator, you'll typically work with faucets supplied by your client, designer, or general contractor. When quoting jobs, request the specific Brizo Solna model number (format: 63020LF-XX where XX indicates finish) to verify compatibility with this single-hole template. The Solna line includes pull-down models (63020LF series), articulating models (64221LF series), and prep faucet variants (63920LF series) - all use the same 1-3/8 inch mounting hole. Pricing ranges from mid to upper-tier depending on finish and features. For commercial or multi-unit projects, Brizo offers professional pricing through their contract sales division. Always confirm the client has provided the correct faucet model before beginning fabrication, and keep the installation manual on-site for reference during template positioning.
