Description
The single hole faucet paired with an instant hot water dispenser represents one of the most sought-after luxury configurations in modern kitchen design. This professional DXF template provides countertop fabricators with the exact two-hole pattern required for this premium setup, combining contemporary faucet styling with the convenience of on-demand near-boiling water for tea, French press coffee, instant oatmeal, and cooking applications. Instant hot water systems have transitioned from luxury amenities to expected features in high-end kitchen renovations and new construction, driven by consumer desire for time-saving convenience and the popularity of specialty beverages requiring precise water temperatures. This template delivers two precisely positioned 1.375-inch diameter holes separated by 3.5 inches center-to-center, spacing that keeps the hot water dispenser within easy reach while maintaining visual balance and preventing below-deck hardware conflicts. The 17-inch overall card width accommodates this configuration comfortably while fitting within the deck space available on virtually all sink installations from compact prep sinks to large farmhouse models. This pattern proves particularly popular in coffee and tea stations, butler pantries, and main kitchen sink areas where homeowners regularly prepare hot beverages. The combination of pull-down faucet technology for general tasks with dedicated instant hot water for specialty needs creates the ultimate in kitchen functionality.

Installation Overview
Installing the single hole faucet plus instant hot water dispenser configuration requires attention to both above-deck aesthetics and below-deck clearances for the hot water tank system. Center the faucet hole over the sink centerline, positioned 1.5 to 2 inches from the sink front edge to provide adequate spout reach and comfortable operating distance. Drill the faucet hole at the standard 1.375-inch diameter perpendicular to the countertop surface. Position the hot water dispenser hole 3.5 inches center-to-center from the faucet hole, typically to the right side, though left-side placement works equally well based on layout and tank placement considerations. The hot water dispenser hole also requires 1.375-inch diameter drilling. Both holes need clear below-deck access, but the hot water system imposes additional requirements that must be verified before cutting. The single hole faucet requires typical clearances for supply lines and mounting hardware. The instant hot water dispenser connects to a tank system mounted beneath the sink that requires specific clearances: the tank must position within 16 inches of the faucet for optimal line length, needs access to a standard electrical outlet for heating element power, and requires adequate ventilation clearance around the tank body. Most instant hot water tanks measure approximately 11 inches tall by 8 inches in diameter, so verify adequate cabinet depth and height before finalizing dispenser position. When working with stone materials, use diamond core bits with continuous water cooling to achieve clean holes without thermal stress. For solid surface materials, carbide hole saws deliver excellent results. This pattern clean simplicity and proven spacing make it one of the most reliable configurations for high-end kitchen fabrication.
CNC Cutting Notes
This two-hole DXF template optimizes for efficient CNC programming and execution while maintaining the precision required for luxury fixture installations. The file imports seamlessly into all major CNC programming platforms including Alphacam, EnRoute, RhinoCAM, VCarve, and Mastercam, with holes defined as clean circular features on properly organized layers. The template functions equally well for CNC router and waterjet cutting operations. For CNC router fabrication on granite and engineered quartz surfaces, program a multi-stage drilling approach: center pilot for accurate positioning, rough pass to 70 percent depth at production feed rate, finish pass to final depth at reduced feed to achieve superior edge quality without chipping. Recommended spindle speeds for diamond tooling on stone materials range from 10,000 to 14,000 RPM with plunge rates of 20-30 inches per minute adjusted for material hardness and specific tool geometry. The standard 1.375-inch hole diameter balances tool longevity with hardware compatibility requirements. For waterjet operations, program both holes in a single cutting operation with optimized tool path sequencing to minimize rapids and reduce cycle time. The small hole diameter and shallow material depth result in excellent edge quality with minimal taper concerns. Template coordinate referencing uses industry-standard origin placement making it simple to position within larger countertop layouts or nest with other cutting operations for production efficiency. When programming for high-value materials like exotic granite or premium quartzite, consider adding verification pauses before each hole drilling operation to confirm proper tool engagement and coolant flow. This pattern straightforward geometry and generous spacing provide good tolerance for minor positioning variations, though always verify programmed coordinates against layout drawings before initiating cuts. For fabrication shops running repeat jobs, save this hole pattern as a callable subroutine that can be quickly positioned and executed without full re-programming.
Material Compatibility
The single hole faucet plus hot water dispenser template works reliably across all countertop substrate materials with proper tooling selection and technique application. Natural stone materials including granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, and travertine deliver excellent results with diamond core bits or CNC diamond routing tools. Maintain continuous water cooling during all stone drilling operations to control heat buildup and prevent thermal shock cracking, particularly important when working with materials prone to thermal sensitivity like marble. The two-hole pattern simplicity reduces overall cutting time and cumulative thermal load compared to complex multi-hole configurations. Engineered quartz surfaces such as Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone, Hanstone, Viatera, and Dekton quartz require premium diamond tooling specifically engineered for quartz fabrication. These materials exhibit significantly higher hardness and abrasiveness than natural granite, resulting in accelerated tool wear and requiring feed rate reductions of 15 to 25 percent compared to equivalent granite operations. Factor increased tooling costs and replacement intervals into job pricing when fabricating multiple quartz installations with this pattern. Solid surface materials including Corian, Staron, Hi-Macs, Wilsonart Solid Surface, and Gibraltar Solid Surface provide the most forgiving substrate for this hole pattern execution. Standard carbide hole saws or router bits deliver consistently clean results without coolant requirements, and the material homogeneous structure eliminates concerns about subsurface voids, hidden fissures, or grain direction weaknesses. For laminate countertops, execute this pattern with proper backer board support firmly clamped beneath the cutting area to prevent bottom-side chipping and prevent delamination around hole perimeters. Concrete countertops accommodate this pattern using diamond core bits with light, steady drilling pressure to minimize aggregate dislodgment and surface spalling. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton and Neolith require specialized diamond tooling rated for their extreme hardness characteristics, with expected slower cutting speeds and more frequent tool replacement intervals.
