This three-hole pattern accommodates Brizo's premium bathroom faucet lines including Tresa, Odin, Vettis, Levoir, Virage, and Litze collections. The 8-inch spacing configuration is a bathroom industry standard, creating balanced proportions on vanity countertops while providing adequate handle separation for comfortable operation.

The widespread design features independent hot and cold valves with a separate spout assembly, offering installation flexibility and timeless aesthetics that complement both traditional and contemporary bathroom designs.
Installation Overview
Brizo widespread faucets with 8-inch spacing install through three precisely positioned 1-3/8 inch diameter holes. The center hole accommodates the spout assembly, while holes positioned 4 inches to the left and right house the hot and cold valve handles. This configuration creates an 8-inch center-to-center measurement between the outer handles, a standard dimension that works with most bathroom sink basins. Installation begins by marking the center hole position, typically 2-3 inches from the sink edge, then measuring exactly 4 inches in each direction for the valve holes. Each component - spout and two valves - mounts independently from above the deck with securing hardware tightened from below. The widespread design uses flexible supply lines connecting the spout to each valve beneath the countertop, allowing for precise alignment even if holes have minor spacing variations. Decorative escutcheon plates cover the mounting hardware and provide water-resistant sealing. The independent valve design means each handle controls its own shut-off, providing better mixing control and serviceability compared to single-body faucets.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC routers for 8-inch widespread patterns requires precise coordinate mapping with tight tolerances. Establish your origin point at the center spout location (0,0), then program the left valve hole at (-4.0, 0) and right valve hole at (+4.0, 0). All three holes must align perfectly along the Y-axis to ensure handles and spout are collinear when viewed from above. Use 1-3/8 inch core bits appropriate for your material - diamond-grit for natural stone, carbide for solid surfaces. Maintain feed rates of 35-50 IPM for granite and marble with continuous flood cooling; quartz can handle 45-60 IPM due to uniform composition. Critical success factors include perpendicular drilling with zero taper and smooth edge finish for proper gasket sealing. After cutting, verify spacing with precision measuring tools - even 1/16 inch variance can cause installation difficulties with rigid supply lines. The holes should have clean entry and exit points; for materials prone to blowout like marble, reduce feed rate for the final 10% of cut depth or back with sacrificial material. Polish hole interiors with 180-220 grit diamond pads to remove micro-fractures and burrs that could damage rubber gaskets during faucet installation.
Material Compatibility
The 8-inch widespread template is compatible with all bathroom vanity materials including natural stone, engineered quartz, and solid surfaces. Granite vanity tops are extremely popular for this application, offering durability and luxury aesthetics - the three-hole pattern can be positioned to avoid veining or mineral inclusions that might compromise structural integrity. Marble creates classic bathroom elegance but requires careful cutting technique to prevent chipping, especially at breakthrough; consider using lower feed rates and backing boards. Quartz and engineered stone provide the most consistent cutting experience with uniform composition throughout; color and pattern remain consistent even around hole edges. Quartzite combines marble's aesthetics with superior hardness and water resistance, ideal for bathroom applications but requiring premium diamond tooling. Solid surface materials like Corian, Hi-Macs, and Staron cut cleanly with standard carbide bits and offer seamless integration possibilities with integrated sinks. Ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith, Lapitec) are increasingly specified for high-end bathrooms due to complete porosity resistance and stain immunity. For vessel sink applications on stone slabs, ensure adequate deck thickness (minimum 3/4 inch, preferably 1-1/4 inch) to support faucet weight and handle torque forces.
Where to Buy
Brizo widespread bathroom faucets are luxury fixtures sold through authorized kitchen and bath showrooms, high-end plumbing distributors, and online retailers specializing in premium brands. Ferguson showrooms maintain extensive Brizo inventory with hundreds of finish and style combinations available. As a countertop fabricator, you'll receive faucet specifications from interior designers, homeowners, or contractors who have pre-selected fixtures for their bathroom projects. Before cutting holes, verify the exact Brizo model number and confirm it uses 8-inch widespread spacing - some Brizo models offer 8-16 inch adjustable spacing or different configurations entirely. Download the specific model's installation manual from Brizo's website to verify hole positioning and any special requirements. Brizo widespread faucets range from $600 to $2,500+ depending on collection, finish (chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, champagne bronze, luxe gold), and features like electronic temperature display or waterfall spouts. For commercial hospitality or multi-unit residential projects, Brizo's contract division offers volume pricing and dedicated technical support. Always coordinate with the plumber to understand supply line routing and access requirements beneath the vanity.
