Moen Pot Filler
Description
This precision DXF template provides the exact cutting specifications for deck-mounted supply line installations supporting Moen pot filler faucets. While most pot filler faucets mount directly to the wall behind the cooking surface, some modern kitchen designs incorporate deck-mounted supply lines that run through the countertop to wall-mounted valves or behind-range connections. This template ensures accurate hole placement for supply line routing in backsplash or rear-deck installations where the pot filler is positioned above the cooktop. Professional countertop fabricators use this template to create clean, precise access holes that allow plumbing connections while maintaining the structural integrity of quartz, granite, marble, and solid surface materials. The template is particularly valuable for high-end kitchen installations featuring professional-grade ranges with integrated pot filler stations.

Installation Overview
Pot filler supply line installations require careful coordination between the countertop fabricator, plumber, and kitchen designer. The standard hole diameter is 1.5 inches (38mm), providing adequate clearance for 1/2-inch NPT supply lines, compression fittings, and insulation wrapping. When the countertop backs up to a wall where the pot filler valve will mount, position the supply hole 2-4 inches from the back edge of the counter and aligned vertically with the planned faucet height, typically 12-18 inches above the cooking surface. For island installations or peninsulas where the pot filler mounts on a backsplash, the hole placement must account for the horizontal run of supply piping. The template ensures the hole is cut at the proper location to connect seamlessly with wall-mounted valve bodies. Fabricators should verify rough-in dimensions with the plumber before cutting, as pot filler installations vary significantly based on the specific Moen model (S664, S665, or other series) and the kitchen configuration.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC equipment for pot filler supply holes follows similar protocols to standard faucet holes but requires additional attention to edge quality since these holes are often visible in backsplash areas. Use diamond-core drill bits sized to 1.5 inches for quartz and granite materials, maintaining feed rates of 3-5 inches per minute with continuous water cooling. The DXF template imports at actual scale into CAM software and uses center-point referencing for precise positioning. When cutting near the rear edge of countertops, ensure adequate material support to prevent breakout or chipping on the back side. For through-holes in full-height backsplashes, consider drilling from both sides to meet in the middle, which produces cleaner edges on both faces. If the installation involves routing the supply line through a decorative backsplash slab, use carbide or diamond routing bits to create a channel from the hole to the edge rather than exposing the copper or PEX supply line. Always verify that the hole depth matches the material thickness and that there are no embedded reinforcements or mesh in the cutting path.
Material Compatibility
This template is designed for use with all standard countertop materials including quartz, granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, solid surface, and porcelain slabs. Material thickness compatibility ranges from 0.75 inches to 3 inches, accommodating both standard countertop slabs and thicker backsplash installations. Quartz and granite provide excellent stability for pot filler installations due to their density and resistance to heat from nearby cooking surfaces. Solid surface materials like Corian work well but require slower cutting speeds to prevent melting or burning the material edges. For marble and other softer natural stones, reinforce the area around the hole with epoxy or structural adhesive to prevent future cracking from thermal expansion of the supply lines. When working with porcelain slabs, which are increasingly popular for backsplash applications, use specialized porcelain drill bits and apply masking tape to the surface to reduce the risk of chips. Avoid positioning pot filler supply holes in laminate countertops if the installation is near a cooktop, as the heat exposure may cause delamination over time.
Where to Buy
Moen pot filler faucets are available through professional plumbing supply distributors, kitchen and bath showrooms, and retailers including Ferguson, Supply.com, Build.com, and Signature Hardware. The S664 and S665 series represent Moen's primary pot filler product lines, available in finishes including chrome, stainless, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black to coordinate with kitchen aesthetics. This DXF template is available through the Slabwise templates library and is compatible with all major CAD and CAM software platforms used in countertop fabrication. Professional fabricators can download the template and integrate it into digital templating workflows using laser measuring systems or photogrammetry. When specifying pot filler installations for clients, coordinate with the plumber to verify rough-in requirements, as some installations may require additional blocking or support within the wall cavity. Purchase both the faucet and any required extension kits or mounting hardware from the same supplier to ensure compatibility and finish consistency.
