The Kingston Brass Heritage widespread bathroom faucet collection demands precise hole placement for professional installation results. This fabrication-grade DXF template provides exact specifications for the three-hole widespread configuration with 1.375-inch diameter openings positioned at an 8-inch center-to-center spread. Engineered for countertop fabricators working with natural stone, quartz, marble, and solid surface materials, this template ensures accurate hole positioning for Kingston Brass Heritage series widespread faucets. The widespread design offers elegant spacing and flexible installation options for bathroom vanities, making it the preferred choice for upscale residential and commercial bathroom projects.
Installation Overview
Widespread faucets differ from centerset models by positioning the spout and valve handles farther apart, creating a more dramatic visual presentation. The 8-inch measurement refers to the center-to-center distance between the two outer mounting holes (left and right handles), with the center spout hole positioned at the 4-inch midpoint. Each of the three holes requires a 1.375-inch (35mm) diameter opening drilled perpendicular through the countertop or sink deck. Kingston Brass Heritage widespread faucets connect the three separate components using flexible supply hoses beneath the deck, allowing for some installation flexibility. While 8 inches is the standard spread for this template, widespread faucets can accommodate spacing up to 16 inches depending on the specific model and supply hose length. The Heritage series features traditional styling with cross handles or lever handles and complements classic bathroom designs. Installation typically occurs 2-4 inches from the back edge of the countertop, positioned to align with the sink centerline.
CNC Cutting Notes
Load the DXF template into your CNC programming software and verify the three hole positions maintain exact 4-inch increments along the centerline (positions at -4, 0, and +4 inches from center). Each circular cut must be precisely 1.375 inches in diameter with perpendicular walls to ensure proper faucet valve seating. For CNC router operations on granite or marble, employ diamond core bits (35mm or 1-3/8 inch) running at 2200-2800 RPM with consistent water cooling to prevent thermal cracking and extend tool life. Quartz fabricators should reduce cutting speeds to 1800-2200 RPM and maintain slower feed rates (18-25 IPM) due to quartz's higher resin content and heat sensitivity. CNC waterjet systems provide excellent results for widespread faucet holes using fine abrasive (80-100 mesh) at optimized cutting speeds to minimize edge taper. Ensure all three holes align on the same centerline axis to prevent faucet installation problems. The template positioning assumes standard bathroom vanity installation with holes centered on the sink location and positioned at consistent distance from the countertop back edge.
Material Compatibility
This Kingston Brass Heritage widespread template accommodates all standard bathroom countertop materials including natural granite, engineered quartz (all major brands), marble, quartzite, onyx, travertine, limestone, soapstone, and solid surface materials (Corian, Hi-Macs, Wilsonart, Formica). The widespread hole pattern works for vessel sink installations with deck-mounted faucets, undermount sink configurations, and drop-in sink setups. For one-piece cultured marble vanity tops, coordinate with the manufacturer regarding pre-drilled holes versus field drilling. Natural stone materials with prominent veining require careful hole placement to avoid drilling through structural veins that could cause cracking. Ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton and Neolith accept the standard 1.375-inch holes but require appropriate diamond tooling for the material's hardness. Tile countertops present challenges for widespread configurations and typically require creative positioning to avoid grout lines. Concrete countertops work well with widespread faucets provided the concrete thickness is sufficient (minimum 1.5 inches recommended) to support the mounting hardware.
Where to Buy
Kingston Brass Heritage widespread bathroom faucets are available through kitchen and bath showrooms, authorized plumbing distributors, specialty hardware retailers, and online vendors focusing on bathroom fixtures. The Heritage collection represents one of Kingston Brass's signature lines, featuring traditional Victorian-era styling with modern manufacturing quality. Available finishes include polished chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, polished brass, antique brass, and matte black. Heritage widespread faucets typically include matching drain assemblies and are available with various handle styles including porcelain cross handles, metal lever handles, and decorative options. When specifying for a fabrication project, confirm the exact model number and verify it uses the standard 8-inch spread configuration. Some Heritage models may offer alternative spacing options. Most Heritage widespread faucets include supply lines, mounting hardware, and installation instructions. For commercial projects, verify the faucet meets required codes and ADA compliance if necessary.
