Kohler Bridge Faucet 6in
Kohler Bridge Faucet 6in
Description
Our Kohler Bridge Faucet 6-Inch Spread DXF template delivers precision-engineered hole patterns for two-handle bridge-style faucets in countertop installations. This template features two 1.375-inch diameter holes positioned 6 inches apart (center-to-center), accommodating select Kohler bridge faucet models with 6-inch spreads. Bridge faucets create a sophisticated, traditional aesthetic with exposed pipes connecting the handles and spout. Designed for professional fabricators working with granite, quartz, marble, and solid surface materials, this template ensures perfect alignment of both faucet holes for seamless installation on kitchen and bar countertops. The 6-inch configuration is ideal for smaller bar sinks and compact kitchen applications where the standard 8-inch bridge spread would be too wide.

Answer summary
What is the Kohler Bridge Faucet 6in DXF template for?
Kohler Bridge Faucet 6in 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 Kohler Bridge Faucet 6in DXF template?
Use the template page to shortlist a production file, then verify the exact model, variant, and machine workflow before cutting.
Best fit
Kohler Bridge Faucet 6in 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.

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
kohler 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.

Our Kohler Bridge Faucet 6-Inch Spread DXF template delivers precision-engineered hole patterns for two-handle bridge-style faucets in countertop installations. This template features two 1.375-inch diameter holes positioned 6 inches apart (center-to-center), accommodating select Kohler bridge faucet models with 6-inch spreads. Bridge faucets create a sophisticated, traditional aesthetic with exposed pipes connecting the handles and spout. Designed for professional fabricators working with granite, quartz, marble, and solid surface materials, this template ensures perfect alignment of both faucet holes for seamless installation on kitchen and bar countertops. The 6-inch configuration is ideal for smaller bar sinks and compact kitchen applications where the standard 8-inch bridge spread would be too wide.
Installation Overview
Installing a Kohler 6-inch bridge faucet requires two precisely-positioned and aligned holes drilled through the countertop deck. Each hole measures 1.375 inches in diameter with centers spaced exactly 6 inches apart horizontally. Position the template centered behind the sink with both holes equidistant from the centerline. Typical placement is 2-4 inches from the sink's rear edge, though this varies based on spout reach and customer preference. The bridge-style design requires the connecting pipe or tube to run above the deck surface between the two handles, so ensure adequate clearance and consider the visual aesthetic when positioning. Verify that supply lines and mounting hardware will have sufficient access beneath the countertop. Most bridge faucets require a deck thickness between 3/4 inch and 2 inches. Use the template's alignment features to ensure both holes are perfectly level and centered, as any misalignment will be visible with the exposed bridge connection.
CNC Cutting Notes
This DXF template is optimized for CNC routers, waterjet systems, and bridge saw operations. The template contains two circular cutouts positioned at -3 inches and +3 inches from the centerline on the X-axis, both centered at Y=0. Each hole has a radius of 0.6875 inches (1.375-inch diameter). When programming your CNC, use inside cutting compensation on both holes to maintain exact diameters. For granite and quartz, diamond core bits with water cooling produce the cleanest results—use 1-3/8" diamond hole saws with appropriate feed rates for your material hardness. The critical element in bridge faucet installation is maintaining perfect 6-inch center-to-center spacing and ensuring both holes are level. Even minor deviation will cause installation problems with the rigid bridge assembly. For waterjet cutting, program both holes in a single operation to maximize precision. If cutting manually, use the DXF template to create a physical template from MDF or acrylic, then use a template guide system to ensure both holes align perfectly. Always verify hole spacing with calipers before proceeding with installation.
Material Compatibility
This Kohler 6-inch bridge faucet template is compatible with all standard countertop materials when proper fabrication techniques are applied. Granite and natural stone countertops handle the two-hole configuration excellently when cut with diamond core bits or waterjet systems. Quartz and engineered stone materials are ideal for bridge faucets as they provide stable, rigid support for the above-deck bridge assembly without flexing. Solid surface materials like Corian accommodate the hole pattern well, though extra care should be taken to support the material during drilling to prevent stress cracking. For ultra-compact surfaces like Dekton, Lapitec, or Neolith, waterjet cutting is strongly recommended due to material hardness. Marble and softer stones require careful cutting to prevent chipping—consider using backing material during hole saw operations. The two-hole pattern creates less stress than larger cutouts, making it structurally sound even in thinner materials. However, ensure adequate distance (minimum 1.5 inches) from sink cutout edges to maintain structural integrity. Seal all cut edges in porous materials before faucet installation to prevent water penetration and staining.
Where to Buy
Kohler bridge faucets with 6-inch spreads are available through professional plumbing distributors and specialty kitchen retailers. While 8-inch bridge faucets are more common, several Kohler collections offer 6-inch configurations suitable for bar sinks and compact installations. Check with Ferguson, your local plumbing supply house, or visit Studio41 showrooms to view Kohler bridge faucet collections in person. When ordering, verify the exact center-to-center hole spacing in the product specifications, as bridge faucets are also manufactured in 8-inch and 16-inch spreads. Online retailers like Build.com and Wayfair provide detailed specifications including hole spacing for each model. For custom or designer installations, Kohler's Kallista and Ann Sacks luxury brands offer premium bridge faucets with various spread configurations. Before finalizing countertop fabrication, confirm your specific faucet model's requirements and consider ordering the fixture in advance to verify fitment. Some bridge faucets require additional holes for side sprayers or deck-mounted accessories, so review complete installation requirements.
