The Brizo Tub Deck Mount Faucet Template provides precise three-hole configurations for professional installation of Brizo's luxury deck-mounted tub fillers. This template is essential for fabricators working on bathroom vanity decks, tub surrounds, and custom bathing installations in high-end residential and hospitality projects. Brizo deck mount faucets typically feature a central spout with separate hot and cold handles, creating an elegant, symmetrical aesthetic. The template accommodates various Brizo collections including Litze, Odin, Rook, and Levoir, ensuring proper hole spacing for installation on granite, marble, quartz, and engineered stone surfaces. This three-hole pattern is specifically designed for deck thicknesses up to 3 inches and includes precise center-to-center measurements matching Brizo's installation specifications.
Installation Overview
Brizo tub deck mount faucets install through three 1-3/8 inch diameter holes with precise spacing requirements. The standard configuration places holes on 5-inch centers from a central point, creating a total span of 10 inches. The center hole accommodates the spout assembly, while the outer holes house the hot and cold valve handles. Installation begins with accurate hole placement using this template - position the center hole first, then measure precisely to the outer holes. Each hole accepts a valve body or spout assembly that mounts from above with securing hardware tightened from below the deck. Proper spacing is critical as too narrow or wide will prevent handle installation or cause binding. The mounting hardware includes rubber gaskets for waterproofing and decorative escutcheon plates that provide a finished appearance while concealing the mounting nuts. Supply connections typically use flexible braided lines with 1/2-inch IPS connections for adequate flow rates required by tub filling applications.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC routers for tub deck mount installations requires exceptional precision due to the tight tolerances between multiple holes. Set up your coordinate system with the center hole as origin (0,0), then program outer holes at exact X-coordinates of -5.0 and +5.0 inches. All three holes should share the same Y-coordinate to ensure perfect linear alignment. Use 1-3/8 inch core bits with diamond or carbide cutting surfaces appropriate for your material. For granite and natural stone, maintain feed rates of 30-40 IPM with continuous flood cooling to prevent thermal stress. The holes must be perfectly perpendicular - any angle will cause installation issues with the rigid valve assemblies. After cutting, measure center-to-center distances with precision calipers to verify 10-inch total spacing and 5-inch individual spacing from center. Edge finish is critical as rough holes can prevent proper gasket sealing and water infiltration around fittings. Post-process all holes with 180-220 grit diamond pads to remove burrs and create smooth entry surfaces for the valve assemblies.
Material Compatibility
This three-hole tub deck template works with all stone and solid surface materials commonly used in luxury bathroom applications. Granite provides excellent structural integrity for deck-mounted tub faucets, with natural density supporting the weight and torque forces during handle operation. Marble creates beautiful, traditional aesthetics but requires careful cutting to prevent chipping, especially around breakthrough points - back the slab with plywood during cutting. Quartz and engineered stone are ideal choices due to uniform composition and consistent cutting behavior; the three holes can be positioned without concern for veining or weak points. Quartzite offers the appearance of marble with greater durability but demands premium diamond tooling due to extreme hardness. Solid surface materials like Corian install easily but may require backing reinforcement for heavier faucet assemblies to prevent flexing under use. Ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith) are increasingly popular for tub decks due to complete water resistance; use specialized tooling and reduced feed rates. For all materials, ensure minimum 3-inch edge distance from holes to deck edges to prevent cracking or structural weakness.
Where to Buy
Brizo deck mount tub faucets are premium products available through specialty plumbing showrooms, luxury kitchen and bath dealers, and online retailers like Faucet Direct, eFaucets, and Build.com. Ferguson showrooms carry extensive Brizo inventory and can order specific models for designer projects. As a stone fabricator, you'll typically receive faucet specifications from interior designers, architects, or homeowners who have already selected their fixtures. Before cutting any holes, confirm the exact Brizo model number and verify it matches this three-hole, 10-inch spacing configuration. Some Brizo tub fillers use alternative mounting patterns (widespread with adjustable spacing, single-hole, or wall-mount), so specification verification is essential. Request installation documentation from your client or download PDF spec sheets from Brizo's website using the model number. For custom or commercial projects exceeding $50,000, Brizo offers dedicated project support through their professional services division. Pricing for Brizo deck mount tub faucets ranges from $800 to $3,000+ depending on collection, finish, and features like thermostatic mixing or hand shower integration.
