Moen Brantford Widespread
Description
The Moen Brantford widespread bathroom faucet combines traditional design elements with modern functionality, featuring separate hot and cold handles flanking a central spout for an elegant, classic look. Widespread faucet installations represent a step up in both aesthetics and installation complexity compared to single-hole or centerset configurations. For countertop fabricators working on bathroom vanity projects, the Brantford's three-hole pattern requires precise spacing and alignment to ensure proper valve body installation and visual symmetry. This DXF template provides manufacturer-verified specifications for the Moen Brantford T6620 series, with the standard 8-inch center configuration that can be adjusted from 8 to 16 inches to accommodate various vanity designs and customer preferences. The widespread format offers design flexibility while demanding fabrication precision to achieve the refined appearance that defines premium bathroom installations.

Installation Overview
Installing the Moen Brantford widespread faucet requires three precisely positioned holes in the vanity countertop. The template specifies the standard 8-inch center configuration with holes positioned at -4 inches (left handle), 0 inches (center spout), and +4 inches (right handle) from the centerline. Each hole requires a 1.375-inch diameter (0.6875-inch radius), though 1.5-inch holes provide additional installation clearance and are within Moen's specifications. The beauty of widespread faucets is their adjustable spacing—the Brantford can be installed with centers ranging from 8 to 16 inches, allowing customization for different vanity widths, sink configurations, or aesthetic preferences. When modifying from the standard 8-inch template, maintain equal spacing from the center spout hole to each handle hole to preserve visual symmetry. Maximum deck thickness compatibility is 2.5 inches. The widespread configuration requires the separate Moen 9000 rough-in valve (sold separately), which connects the spout and handles via flexible supply tubes under the deck. This under-deck plumbing means adequate access clearance is essential—minimum 12 inches of vertical space below the deck is recommended for installation and future maintenance. When templating bathroom vanity tops, carefully measure and mark the three hole positions, verifying alignment with the sink drain location to avoid conflicts. The center spout hole typically positions 2-4 inches behind the front edge of the vanity, with exact placement depending on spout reach and sink size.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC equipment for the Moen Brantford widespread faucet requires importing the DXF template and positioning it according to the customer's desired configuration. The template provides the standard 8-inch center layout with holes at (-4, 0), (0, 0), and (4, 0) coordinates. For custom spacing, modify the X-coordinates of the handle holes while keeping the center spout at (0, 0)—for example, 10-inch centers would use (-5, 0), (0, 0), and (5, 0). Each hole should be programmed for 1.375 to 1.5-inch diameter. For natural stone vanity materials like granite and marble, use a multi-stage cutting approach for each hole: pilot hole (0.25-inch bit), rough cut at 1.3125-inch diameter, and finish pass at final diameter with a polishing diamond bit. Spindle speeds for granite should be 10,000-12,000 RPM with feed rates of 40-60 IPM depending on material hardness and quartz content. Marble requires gentler parameters—9,000-10,000 RPM with feed rates around 35-50 IPM to prevent thermal stress fracturing in the calcite structure. For engineered quartz vanity tops (increasingly popular in bathroom applications), use spindle speeds of 8,500-10,000 RPM with feed rates of 50-70 IPM while ensuring adequate coolant to prevent resin scorching. Always program tool paths to cut from the finished surface side to minimize chip-out on visible edges. The three-hole pattern requires careful attention to coordinate accuracy—a positioning error of even 0.0625 inches can cause installation challenges with the valve body and connecting tubes. Verify hole spacing with precision measurement after cutting and before releasing the job. Consider programming a subtle chamfer (0.030-0.040 inches at 45 degrees) on each hole's top edge to ease faucet component insertion and create a refined finished appearance.
Material Compatibility
The Moen Brantford widespread faucet template is compatible with all standard vanity countertop materials including granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, engineered quartz (Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone), solid surface (Corian, Hi-Macs), laminate, cultured marble, and ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith). Bathroom vanity applications often feature different materials than kitchen countertops, with marble being particularly popular for its elegant appearance despite requiring more maintenance. When cutting marble vanity tops, use sharp diamond tooling and gentle cutting parameters to avoid creating stress fractures in the calcium carbonate structure—marble is significantly softer than granite but also more prone to cracking from improper cutting techniques. Granite vanities offer superior durability and stain resistance, ideal for high-traffic bathrooms or commercial applications. Engineered quartz has become increasingly popular in bathroom applications, offering the appearance of natural stone with better stain resistance around faucet areas where toothpaste, cosmetics, and other bathroom products may accumulate. Solid surface materials provide seamless integration possibilities and can be repaired if minor damage occurs. For ultra-luxury bathroom installations, quartzite offers dramatic natural veining with durability exceeding granite. Cultured marble vanity tops, which often come pre-molded with integrated sinks, can accommodate widespread faucets when specified during manufacturing or carefully retrofitted by experienced fabricators. The three-hole pattern requires adequate material strength between holes—maintain at least 2 inches of solid material between adjacent holes, and position the pattern at least 3 inches from vanity edges to prevent stress concentrations that could lead to cracking.
Where to Buy
The Moen Brantford widespread bathroom faucet is available through extensive professional and retail channels. Professional countertop fabricators and plumbing contractors can source Moen Brantford faucets through plumbing wholesale distributors including Ferguson Enterprises, HD Supply, Hajoca Corporation, APR Supply, and regional plumbing suppliers. These professional channels offer contractor pricing, technical support, and often maintain inventory of the separate 9000 rough-in valve required for widespread installations. Retail availability includes The Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, and specialty kitchen and bath showrooms where designers and homeowners can view physical displays. Online purchasing options include Amazon, Build.com, Faucet.com, eFaucets.com, PlumbersStock, and the official Moen shop at shop.moen.com. The Brantford widespread bathroom faucet (model T6620) is available in multiple finish options: Chrome (T6620), Brushed Nickel (T6620BN), Oil Rubbed Bronze (T6620ORB), and Matte Black (T6620BL). Pricing typically ranges from $180-$320 depending on finish and whether the package includes the drain assembly and rough-in valve. When purchasing for client projects, verify whether the package includes the required 9000 rough-in valve or if it must be ordered separately (model M-PACT common valve system). Professional fabricators should maintain relationships with local Ferguson or other pro suppliers for quick access to matching finish accessories, replacement parts, and technical installation support. The Brantford collection includes coordinating towel bars, robe hooks, toilet paper holders, and other bathroom accessories, allowing complete design integration for high-end bathroom remodels.
