Installation Overview
The Hansgrohe Focus single-hole faucet template specifies a 1-3/8 inch diameter hole for most models in the Focus series, though fabricators should verify the specific model being installed as some variations may require up to 1-3/4 inch diameter holes. The template provides a center-point reference for accurate positioning relative to sink cutouts and surrounding features. Maximum deck thickness for Focus faucets ranges from 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inches depending on the specific model, so confirm specifications with the installation guide for the exact product being used. When positioning the faucet hole for kitchen installations, consider the pull-down spray operation range and ensure adequate clearance for hose extension and retraction. For bathroom vanity installations, center the faucet hole on the sink or position it according to designer specifications when working with offset or vessel sink configurations. The Focus line's adjustable spout rotation feature requires clearance consideration when planning installations near walls or backsplashes. Use high-quality diamond hole saws for natural stone materials, ensuring clean entry and exit surfaces to maintain the professional appearance that matches the faucet's refined design. Support the material adequately during cutting operations to prevent chipping, especially on brittle materials like marble or thin porcelain.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC equipment for Hansgrohe Focus faucet installations requires attention to the precise 1-3/8 inch hole diameter specified in most Focus models. Import this DXF template into your CAM software and verify that the circle geometry measures exactly 1.375 inches in diameter before generating toolpaths. For CNC router operations on natural stone, use a two-stage cutting approach: first, a shallow scoring pass at 0.125 inches depth around the hole perimeter to prevent edge breakout, followed by the full-depth helical interpolation or pecking cycle to complete the hole. Set spindle speeds between 12,000-15,000 RPM for granite and harder stones, with plunge rates limited to 3-4 inches per minute to prevent tool deflection and ensure dimensional accuracy. When cutting engineered quartz, reduce spindle speed to 9,000-11,000 RPM to minimize heat buildup that can cause resin scorching or discoloration around the hole perimeter. The simple circular geometry of this template makes it ideal for both experienced and entry-level CNC operators, as there are no complex curves or tight tolerances beyond the hole diameter itself. For waterjet cutting systems, this hole can be executed as a quality level 3 or 4 cut, balancing speed with edge finish quality. If your shop uses manual drilling equipment, the template serves as a precise marking guide for drill press or handheld operations. Always verify the actual model number of the Focus faucet being installed, as Hansgrohe offers numerous variants within the Focus line that may have slightly different hole diameter requirements.
Material Compatibility
The Hansgrohe Focus single-hole faucet template works seamlessly across the full spectrum of countertop materials used in residential and commercial applications. Natural granite slabs in both 2cm and 3cm thicknesses provide excellent support for Focus faucet installations, with the dense stone material preventing flexing or movement during faucet operation. Marble and quartzite materials accept this installation well, though extra care during drilling prevents chipping in these more brittle stones. Engineered quartz surfaces from all major manufacturers including Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone, and MSI handle the single-hole drilling operation efficiently, with their uniform composition ensuring consistent results. Solid surface materials like Corian, Avonite, and Staron are particularly well-suited for Focus installations due to their easy machinability and the ability to achieve perfectly clean hole edges without specialized equipment. Ultra-compact surfaces such as Dekton and Neolith require appropriate diamond tooling but provide exceptionally durable faucet mounting surfaces. For concrete countertops, ensure adequate steel reinforcement exists around the faucet location to prevent stress cracking over time. Wood and butcher block installations require careful sealing around the faucet hole to prevent water infiltration and wood degradation. Laminate countertops can accommodate Focus faucets when proper drilling techniques prevent delamination and edge peeling. The versatile design of the Focus series means it complements both bold, heavily veined natural stones and subtle, solid-color engineered materials, giving fabricators flexibility in material recommendations for client projects.
