Installation Overview
The InSinkErator H-View dispenser requires the standard 1.375-inch diameter mounting hole that is consistent across InSinkErator's premium dispenser line. This template provides exact specifications to ensure proper fit and optimal appearance of the H-View's distinctive design. The 4.0-inch clearance diameter indicates the minimum unobstructed zone required beneath the countertop surface for the mounting assembly, supply connections, and the H-View's specialized hardware. When planning H-View installations, consider the dispenser's premium positioning - it's typically specified for designer kitchens where aesthetics are paramount. Position the unit within easy reach of the primary sink, maintaining 2.5-3 inches from the sink rim to showcase the H-View's distinctive styling. Verify adequate below-deck clearance for the hot water tank system - the H-View typically pairs with InSinkErator's larger capacity tanks for superior performance. The tank should be mounted within 16 inches of the dispenser connection and requires access to a grounded 115-volt outlet. H-View systems deliver near-boiling 200°F water on demand and require minimum 30 psi supply pressure. The premium finish options available for the H-View (polished chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, stainless steel) should be considered during templating to ensure the installation complements the overall kitchen design.
CNC Cutting Notes
Import this DXF template into your CNC control software and verify the 1.375-inch hole diameter before programming. The H-View's premium design and close-fitting escutcheon demand exceptional precision in the cutting process - any irregularities in the hole will be visible and detract from the unit's high-end appearance. For CNC operations, use a sharp 1.375-inch (35mm) diamond core bit specifically rated for your material. Program the machine to cut from the finished surface downward to achieve the cleanest possible edge where the H-View's base plate contacts the countertop. This is critical for premium installations where gaps or chipping are unacceptable. Set conservative cutting parameters: for granite, use 2-3 inches per minute with continuous coolant; for engineered quartz, reduce to 1.5-2 inches per minute; for exotic materials like quartzite or ultra-compact surfaces, further reduce speeds by 20-30%. Ensure the hole is cut perfectly perpendicular to the surface - any deviation will cause the H-View dispenser to sit at an angle, which is immediately noticeable with this premium product. The 4.0-inch clearance circle marked on the template is a reference zone only, indicating the area that must remain free of obstructions beneath the deck surface. When working with book-matched or heavily veined materials, position the hole to minimize interruption of the pattern while maintaining structural requirements. For manual cutting, use a high-quality diamond hole saw with a guide bit, working from the top surface and maintaining steady, even pressure throughout the cut. Always test-fit the actual H-View dispenser in the completed hole before final installation to verify perfect alignment and fit.
Material Compatibility
The InSinkErator H-View template is designed for use with premium countertop materials including natural granite, marble, exotic quartzite, engineered quartz (Silestone, Caesarstone, Cambria), solid surface (Corian, Hi-Macs), and ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith). Given the H-View's positioning as a premium product, it's often installed in high-end materials where cutting precision is paramount. The 1.375-inch hole diameter provides excellent structural integrity while accommodating the dispenser's quality mounting hardware. For standard 3cm thick materials, the hole size offers optimal support without requiring additional reinforcement when properly positioned. In premium 2cm installations (sometimes specified for exotic materials to showcase color and pattern), reinforce the area around the hole with color-matched epoxy backing or stainless steel support washers to prevent any flexing or stress cracking. Natural stone materials respond well to diamond core drilling when proper coolant is used - this prevents thermal shock that could cause microfracturing in premium slabs. For exotic materials like semi-precious stone, backlit onyx, or book-matched marble, position the hole to preserve the material's visual impact while maintaining minimum 4-inch distances from edges, seams, and other penetrations. Ultra-compact surfaces require specialized porcelain-rated diamond core bits and reduced cutting speeds - these materials are extremely hard and prone to edge chipping if cut too aggressively. Solid surface materials offer the most flexibility for modifications and can be polished after cutting to achieve invisible seams and perfect integration. When working with veined materials like Calacatta marble or dramatic quartzite, collaborate with the designer to position the H-View where it complements rather than interrupts the stone's natural patterns.
Where to Buy
The InSinkErator H-View instant hot water dispenser is available through premium kitchen and bath showrooms, authorized InSinkErator dealers, high-end plumbing retailers, and specialized online sources focusing on luxury kitchen fixtures. As a premium product in InSinkErator's lineup, the H-View is typically specified by kitchen designers and architects for upscale residential projects and high-end commercial applications. When purchasing the H-View for this 1.375-inch template, confirm the model number and finish option - the H-View is available in multiple premium finishes including polished chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and stainless steel. Each finish is designed to coordinate with other premium kitchen fixtures and appliances. The H-View dispenser is sold separately from the hot water tank system - specify an appropriately sized InSinkErator tank based on usage requirements. For premium residential installations, the H770 (2/3 gallon) or larger capacity tanks are recommended to ensure adequate hot water supply for demanding applications. Professional fabricators should advise clients to have the actual H-View unit on-site during templating to verify the finish, handle configuration, and confirm all installation requirements. This is especially important for premium projects where every detail matters. The H-View typically retails in the $350-$550 range for the faucet unit depending on finish, with hot water tanks adding $250-$450. For technical support or to locate authorized dealers, contact InSinkErator customer service at 1-800-558-5700 or visit their website. Many premium dealers offer design consultation services to help select the right H-View finish and configuration for each project.
