Kohler Deck Mount Tub Filler 4-Hole
Kohler Deck Mount Tub Filler 4-Hole
Description
This precision CNC template is designed for countertop fabricators installing Kohler deck mount tub fillers with a 4-hole configuration. The template ensures accurate hole placement for deck-mounted Roman tub faucets, which require four precisely positioned openings: two for handles, one for the spout, and one for the diverter or hand shower connection. With standard 1.375-inch diameter holes (0.6875" radius) spaced at 4-inch intervals across a 12-inch span, this template accommodates the most common Kohler deck mount tub filler models including the Purist, Hint, Artifacts, and Parallel collections.

Answer summary
What is the Kohler Deck Mount Tub Filler 4-Hole DXF template for?
Kohler Deck Mount Tub Filler 4-Hole 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 Deck Mount Tub Filler 4-Hole 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 Deck Mount Tub Filler 4-Hole 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
Page-specific notes for Kohler Deck Mount Tub Filler 4-Hole
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.
Closest comparisons
Before choosing this file, compare it with Kohler 4in Centerset, Kohler Artifacts Bridge, Kohler Bar Faucet Single Hole to catch small model, radius, flange, or layout differences that can change the final cut.

This precision CNC template is designed for countertop fabricators installing Kohler deck mount tub fillers with a 4-hole configuration. The template ensures accurate hole placement for deck-mounted Roman tub faucets, which require four precisely positioned openings: two for handles, one for the spout, and one for the diverter or hand shower connection. With standard 1.375-inch diameter holes (0.6875" radius) spaced at 4-inch intervals across a 12-inch span, this template accommodates the most common Kohler deck mount tub filler models including the Purist, Hint, Artifacts, and Parallel collections.
Installation Overview
Deck mount tub fillers require precise hole placement to ensure proper valve alignment and aesthetic appeal. This 4-hole configuration positions holes at -6", -2", +2", and +6" from the centerline, creating a symmetrical 12-inch wide pattern. The layout allows for proper spacing between handles and spout while maintaining structural integrity of the stone surface. Before drilling, verify the specific Kohler model requirements as some variations may have slightly different spacing. Always account for the maximum deck thickness specification (typically 1.25" for most Kohler models) and ensure adequate clearance below the deck surface for valve installation. The template positions holes along a single horizontal axis, making alignment straightforward for fabricators.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC router with a 1.375" diamond-grit core bit for clean, chip-free holes in natural stone. Feed rate should be reduced to 50-70% of standard cutting speeds when working with brittle materials like granite or marble. Apply constant water flow during drilling to prevent thermal cracking and extend tool life. For quartz surfaces, use a specialized quartz core bit and reduce feed rate further to prevent resin burning. Position the template with the centerline aligned to the tub centerline, typically 3-4 inches from the back edge of the deck. Use vacuum hold-downs or clamps to secure the material, ensuring no vibration during the drilling operation. Pre-drill pilot holes (1/8" diameter) at each hole center to improve core bit accuracy and reduce walking. When working with undermount installations, verify hole positions account for any overhang or deck extension beyond the tub rim.
Material Compatibility
This template is compatible with all natural and engineered stone materials commonly used in bathroom applications. Granite: Excellent compatibility; use diamond core bits rated for hard stone. Marble: Requires slower feed rates and sharp tooling to prevent chipping around hole perimeters. Quartz/Engineered Stone: Compatible with quartz-specific core bits; maintain lower RPM to prevent resin scorching. Quartzite: Similar to granite; expect longer drilling times due to extreme hardness. Porcelain Slabs: Use porcelain-rated diamond core bits and reduce feed rates significantly. Solid Surface: Can be drilled with standard hole saws; requires different tooling approach than stone. Always test drill on scrap material to optimize parameters for your specific slab and equipment combination.
Where to Buy
Kohler deck mount tub fillers are available through authorized plumbing distributors, showrooms, and online retailers. Professional fabricators should direct clients to Ferguson, Home Depot, or local plumbing supply houses for fixture selection. Ensure the client provides the complete model number before fabrication begins, as hole spacing can vary between Kohler collections. For high-end installations, recommend visiting a Kohler Experience Center where clients can see fixtures in person and verify finish options. Online retailers like Build.com, FaucetDirect, and Amazon also carry extensive Kohler inventories. Always request the installation manual from the client or download it directly from Kohler.com using the model number to verify hole specifications before cutting.
