Description
The 4-Hole Faucet + Soap Dispenser Combo Template provides fabricators with a complete cutting pattern for comprehensive kitchen sink installations. This five-hole configuration combines a traditional 4-hole kitchen faucet (center spout with hot and cold handles plus side spray) with an integrated soap dispenser or hand lotion dispenser. The template is manufacturer-agnostic, designed to accommodate industry-standard spacing that works with major brands including Delta, Moen, Kohler, Peerless, and Pfister. This comprehensive hole pattern is ideal for full-featured kitchen installations where homeowners want maximum functionality without drilling additional holes post-installation. The template accounts for proper spacing between components to prevent interference while maintaining aesthetic balance across the countertop surface. Perfect for CNC router programming or manual layout on granite, quartz, marble, and solid surface kitchen countertops.

Installation Overview
This combo template creates five 1-3/8 inch diameter holes in a linear configuration spanning approximately 16 inches total. The pattern starts with a standard 4-hole kitchen faucet layout: center spout hole with hot and cold handle holes positioned 4 inches to each side (8-inch widespread), plus a side spray positioned 6 inches from the center spout. The soap dispenser holes are positioned 2 inches beyond the outer faucet components, creating functional separation while maintaining cohesive aesthetics. Installation sequence typically begins with the main faucet assembly (spout and handles), followed by the side spray, and finally the soap dispenser. Each component mounts from above the deck with securing hardware tightened from below, requiring clear access to the underside of the countertop. The soap dispenser includes a reservoir bottle mounted beneath the sink, connected to the deck-mounted pump mechanism. When positioning this template, ensure adequate clearance from the sink edge (typically 3-4 inches to center spout) and verify the entire 16-inch span fits comfortably on your deck width without conflicting with backsplash or side walls.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC routers for this five-hole combo pattern requires careful coordinate planning to maintain consistent spacing across multiple components. Establish your coordinate origin at the center spout location (0, 0), then program as follows: left handle at (-4.0, 0), right handle at (+4.0, 0), side spray at (+6.0, 0), and soap dispenser holes at (-6.0, 0) and (+8.0, 0). Verify the exact positioning matches your specific faucet and accessory models before cutting, as some variations exist between manufacturers. All five holes use the same 1-3/8 inch diameter, allowing efficient tool usage with a single core bit throughout the program. For granite and natural stone, maintain feed rates of 35-50 IPM with continuous water cooling on each hole. The extended span of this pattern means careful material inspection is critical - ensure no significant veins, fissures, or weak points cross the hole pattern area. Linear alignment is essential; all holes must share the same Y-coordinate to ensure visual consistency when components are installed. Post-cutting inspection should verify each hole's perpendicularity and edge quality, as any damage will be visible around the multiple escutcheon plates. Test fit spacing with actual components before final installation when possible.
Material Compatibility
This five-hole combo template is compatible with all kitchen countertop materials including granite, quartz, engineered stone, marble, soapstone, quartzite, solid surface, and laminate. Granite slabs easily accommodate the five-hole pattern, though fabricators should inspect for veining or mineral inclusions that cross the hole locations - reposition if necessary to avoid structural weak points. Quartz and engineered stone provide the most predictable cutting experience with uniform composition ensuring consistent hole quality across all five positions. The 16-inch total span works well with standard 24-26 inch deep countertops, leaving adequate material on either side of the pattern. For materials with directional veining like quartzite or marble, consider how the pattern placement affects visual flow - typically aligning holes perpendicular to dominant veining creates the cleanest appearance. Solid surface materials cut cleanly but may require backing reinforcement under high-traffic holes like the main faucet handles to prevent long-term flexing or cracking. Laminate countertops can accommodate this pattern but need proper support beneath each hole location and careful drilling to prevent delamination. For ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton or Neolith, use premium diamond core bits and reduce feed rates due to extreme material density. Ensure minimum 3-inch edge clearance from outermost holes to prevent edge cracking during cutting or future stress.
Where to Buy
This template represents a generic industry-standard hole pattern rather than a specific manufacturer's product, making it compatible with numerous 4-hole kitchen faucet systems available at home improvement stores, plumbing supply houses, and online retailers. Major brands offering compatible 4-hole faucets include Delta (Leland, Cassidy, Windemere collections), Moen (Banbury, Caldwell, Arbor collections), Kohler (Forte, Worth, Simplice), Peerless, and Pfister. Soap dispensers are sold separately by the same manufacturers or as universal aftermarket products from companies like Kraus, Delta, and Moen. When working as a fabricator, verify with your client which specific faucet model they've selected and confirm it matches this 8-inch widespread configuration with side spray. Some modern kitchen faucets have integrated side sprays or pull-down designs that use fewer holes, so specification confirmation prevents cutting unnecessary holes. Home Depot, Lowe's, Ferguson, and online retailers like Faucet Direct and Build.com carry extensive selections of compatible faucets ranging from $80 to $500+. The soap dispenser adds $30-$150 depending on quality and finish matching. For commercial or multi-unit installations, consider contractor pricing through wholesale plumbing distributors.
