Installation Overview
Installing a Hansgrohe Aquno Select faucet requires precise positioning of the single mounting hole in the kitchen countertop deck area. The faucet should be positioned centered behind the sink bowl, typically 2 to 4 inches from the back edge of the sink cutout, depending on sink size and homeowner preference. The standard 1.375-inch diameter hole accommodates the mounting assembly and allows passage for supply lines and the pull-down or pull-out hose. When determining hole placement, ensure adequate clearance from the backsplash, generally 3 to 4 inches minimum, to allow full range of motion for the spray head. Hansgrohe specifies that for undermount sinks, the mounting hole centerline should be no more than 1.75 inches from the edge of the countertop to ensure proper installation geometry. The Aquno Select features either a standard-height or HighArc spout design, so verify overhead clearance if working with low-mounted upper cabinets or window sills. When working with natural stone materials like granite or marble, position the hole away from natural fissures, veins, or weak points that could compromise structural integrity. The pull-down spray requires adequate clearance beneath the deck for proper hose operation and the magnetic docking system to function correctly. After cutting the hole, test-fit the mounting hardware and spray head assembly to verify all components align properly and the spray operates smoothly through its full range of motion.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming your CNC for the Hansgrohe Aquno Select faucet hole demands precision to ensure professional installation results. Import this DXF template into your CAM software and verify the 1.375-inch diameter specification before generating toolpaths. For natural stone countertops including granite, marble, and quartzite, implement a staged cutting approach for optimal results. Begin with a shallow scoring pass around the hole perimeter at approximately 1/8-inch depth to prevent top-surface spalling and chipping, then proceed to full-depth cutting in progressive passes. Diamond tooling is mandatory for all natural stone applications, with grit selection based on material hardness and desired edge finish. Configure feed rates conservatively to maximize tool life and cut quality, particularly important when working with ultra-hard materials like quartzite or exotic granites. Implement continuous water cooling to prevent thermal stress, minimize dust generation, and achieve clean edge quality. For quartz and engineered stone surfaces, carbide or diamond spiral bits perform effectively on CNC routers, with many fabricators preferring diamond tooling for extended tool life on production runs. A spiral up-cut bit configuration efficiently evacuates chips from the cutting zone and maintains clean hole geometry. Waterjet cutting provides exceptional results across all countertop materials, producing clean edges without introducing mechanical or thermal stress to the material. When cutting kitchen countertops that will experience daily use and moisture exposure, add a slight chamfer or radius to the top edge of the hole to prevent sharp edges, accommodate the faucet's mounting gasket properly, and reduce the risk of chipping over time. Always execute a test cut in scrap material matching your production piece to verify hole diameter, perpendicularity, and edge finish quality before cutting client countertops.
Material Compatibility
The Hansgrohe Aquno Select faucet template demonstrates universal compatibility with all countertop materials used in modern kitchen fabrication. Granite countertops pair exceptionally well with the Aquno Select, with the single-hole configuration minimizing stress concentration points in the stone. Diamond core bits or CNC routers equipped with diamond tooling produce clean, precise holes that accommodate the faucet's mounting system perfectly. The contemporary styling of the Aquno Select complements both classic and exotic granite selections, from simple blacks to dramatic book-matched exotics. Quartz and engineered stone surfaces represent an ideal application for this template, offering consistent density throughout the material and predictable cutting characteristics. The uniform structure of quartz ensures clean cuts without variation in hardness or composition, and the non-porous surface provides excellent long-term performance around the faucet mounting area without risk of water infiltration or staining. Marble and other natural stones are fully compatible with this template, though cutting softer materials requires adjusted parameters and careful technique to prevent chipping or edge damage. The Aquno Select's refined aesthetic pairs beautifully with white Carrara, Calacatta, and other premium marbles popular in luxury kitchen designs. Solid surface materials like Corian, Hi-Macs, and Staron integrate seamlessly with the Aquno Select faucet and can be fabricated using standard carbide tooling, with the added advantages of color-matched appearance, thermoformability, and the ability to create invisible seams around the faucet installation area. Ultra-compact surfaces including Dekton, Neolith, Lapitec, and Kompacplus are fully compatible with this template, though they require specialized diamond tooling specifically designed for these extremely hard materials. These surfaces pair exceptionally well with the Aquno Select's contemporary aesthetic and European design heritage. Porcelain slabs require diamond core bits or diamond-coated router bits but produce stunning results that complement the faucet's clean lines and premium finish options. Standard kitchen countertop thicknesses of 2cm or 3cm are well within the specifications for the Hansgrohe Aquno Select mounting system, with the faucet accommodating deck thicknesses up to approximately 2 inches with standard hardware.
