Answer summary
What is the Kingston Brass Vintage Bridge 12in DXF template for?
Kingston Brass Vintage Bridge 12in is a faucet & fixture holes DXF template for countertop fabrication. Use it only after matching the manufacturer, model, dimensions, variant, and shop workflow to the actual job.
Risk check: Similar-looking products can use different cutout geometry. Confirm the official spec, shop tolerance, material behavior, and CNC output before production.
Next step: Run a DXF check, compare related templates, and keep the current manufacturer spec with the job packet.
Template decision guide
Should you use the Kingston Brass Vintage Bridge 12in DXF template?
Use the template page to shortlist a production file, then verify the exact model, variant, and machine workflow before cutting.
Best fit
Kingston Brass Vintage Bridge 12in is most useful when the product, manufacturer, model, install type, and variant match the job you are fabricating.
What to compare
Compare model number, dimensions, reveal or overhang, bowl or appliance geometry, material thickness, and CNC output requirements.
Risk check
Do not use a similar-looking template as a final production file. Small changes in flange, radius, trim, or reveal can cause a failed cutout.
Evidence to verify
Check the current manufacturer spec, field measurement, template preview, DXF layers, and a shop-approved tolerance before production.

Page-specific notes for Kingston Brass Vintage Bridge 12in
These notes are assembled from this exact template record, its category, available variants, and nearby template comparisons. They are meant to make the page more useful than a generic download page.
Exact record SlabWise is using
kingston is filed under Faucet & Fixture Holes. The normalized record lists no normalized dimensions are listed in the template record, so the safest use is as a production starting point that still gets checked against the current job packet.
Variant choice
This record is shown as a single template variant. Treat that as a reason to verify reveal, overhang, and cutout assumptions before the file reaches production.
Category-specific production check
Faucet & Fixture Holes files should be checked for fit against material thickness, edge treatment, sink or appliance clearance, CNC layer expectations, and the shop's preferred tolerance before cutting customer material.

Bridge faucets represent classic design elegance, and proper installation requires precise hole spacing to ensure both aesthetic appeal and functional performance. This Kingston Brass Vintage Bridge template provides the exact 12-inch center-to-center spacing required for wide-spread bridge faucet installations.

Fabricators working with natural stone, quartz, or solid surface materials will appreciate the precision positioning that eliminates measurement errors and ensures perfect alignment every time.
Installation Overview
Bridge faucet installations differ from standard widespread faucets in that the bridge connecting the hot and cold handles mounts on top of the deck rather than underneath. This template positions two holes exactly 12 inches apart (center-to-center), with each hole measuring 1.375 inches in diameter. Position the template so both holes are equidistant from the sink's back rim, typically 3-4 inches from the edge. The template's center point (0,0) falls midway between the two holes, making it easy to align with your sink cutout centerline. Before drilling, verify that the 12-inch spacing matches your specific Kingston Brass bridge faucet model - while 12 inches is standard for their vintage wide bridge series, some models may vary. After drilling, test-fit the valve bodies before finishing the countertop edge to ensure proper alignment. For undermount sink installations, the faucet holes should align with the sink's centerline for symmetrical appearance.
CNC Cutting Notes
Import this DXF template into your CAM software and create two circular pocket toolpaths, each with a 1.375-inch diameter. The holes are positioned at coordinates (-6, 0) and (6, 0), creating the 12-inch center-to-center spacing. Use a 1.375-inch diamond core bit for stone materials, programming a plunge rate of 3-5 inches per minute at 1200-1800 RPM with water cooling. Verify your machine's coordinate system matches the template's absolute positioning before starting the cut. For production environments processing multiple countertops with identical layouts, create a nested file combining this faucet template with your sink cutout template to reduce setup time. Maintain at least 3 inches of material between the faucet holes and sink cutout edge for structural stability. When working with materials over 3cm thick, consider using a two-stage drilling approach: drill halfway through from the top surface, then flip and complete from the bottom to achieve the cleanest breakthrough and prevent chipping.
Material Compatibility
This bridge faucet template is compatible with all countertop materials commonly used in residential and commercial installations. For granite, marble, and quartzite, the two-hole pattern requires careful attention to grain direction and existing fissures - position holes to avoid running through natural veining when possible. Engineered quartz handles the dual-hole pattern well, but fabricators should ensure adequate distance between holes and any seam locations. Solid surface materials like Corian allow for easy drilling with carbide hole saws, and mistakes can be repaired more readily than with stone materials. When working with exotic materials like soapstone or limestone, reduce drilling speeds and increase water flow to prevent heat-related damage. For ultra-thin porcelain panels, the 12-inch spacing may require additional backing support between the holes to prevent flexing during faucet installation. Laminate countertops benefit from drilling pilot holes before using the hole saw to prevent wandering and ensure precise spacing.
