Moen Power Clean Single
Description
This precision DXF template provides the exact cutting dimensions for installing Moen Power Clean kitchen faucets in residential and light commercial countertop applications. The Power Clean spray technology delivers 50 percent more spray power than most standard faucets, making it a popular choice for busy kitchens that demand superior cleaning performance. This template ensures accurate hole placement for single-hole installations across all common countertop materials including quartz, granite, marble, and solid surface. The 1.375-inch hole diameter accommodates the standard Moen mounting hardware and provides proper clearance for secure installation through deck thicknesses up to 2.5 inches. Professional countertop fabricators rely on this template to achieve clean, precise cuts that ensure watertight sealing and structural integrity while maintaining compatibility with Moen's extensive line of Power Clean-equipped faucets across multiple design collections including Brecklyn, Edwyn, Terrace, and other popular series.

Installation Overview
Moen Power Clean faucets require a single mounting hole with a 1.375-inch (approximately 35mm) diameter, which represents the industry-standard size for single-handle kitchen faucets. The installation process involves positioning the deck gasket on the faucet base, inserting the faucet body through the prepared hole, and securing it from beneath with the mounting washer and nut using the included installation tool. The template ensures proper centering and spacing relative to sink cutouts and backsplash edges. For optimal functionality, position the faucet 2-4 inches behind the front rim of the sink to maximize spray coverage while minimizing splashing. Maintain minimum 2-inch clearance from the faucet hole center to any adjacent holes for soap dispensers, air gaps, or water filtration spouts. The hole should be cut perpendicular to the countertop surface with clean, smooth edges to prevent stress concentration and ensure proper gasket compression. Verify adequate under-counter clearance for the faucet supply lines, pulldown weight, and hose assembly, which typically requires 8-12 inches of vertical space below the deck surface.
CNC Cutting Notes
When programming CNC routers or machining centers for this template, select a 1.375-inch (1-3/8 inch) diameter hole saw or core drill bit appropriate for the countertop material being fabricated. For engineered quartz and granite, use diamond-coated core bits with minimum 8mm segment height to ensure adequate bit life and clean cuts. Set spindle speeds between 2000-3000 RPM for quartz materials, reducing to 1500-2000 RPM for natural granite to prevent overheating and material fracturing. Maintain steady feed rates of 3-6 inches per minute depending on material density and hardness. Continuous water flow is essential for cooling, dust suppression, and extending bit life. The DXF template imports at 1:1 scale into all major CAM software platforms including Vectric, AlphaCam, Mastercam, and RhinoCAM. Verify zero-point calibration before cutting, as the template uses center-point geometry for precise positioning. For manual operations, transfer the template to the countertop using a center punch to mark the exact hole location, drill a pilot hole, and then use the hole saw from the finished surface downward to minimize edge chipping. When working with brittle materials like marble or thin porcelain, apply blue masking tape to the top surface before cutting to reduce micro-fracturing around the hole perimeter.
Material Compatibility
This faucet hole template is engineered for compatibility with all standard countertop materials including quartz composites, granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, solid surface materials (Corian, Hi-Macs, Staron), laminate, butcher block, concrete, porcelain slabs, stainless steel, and recycled glass composites. Material thickness compatibility ranges from 0.5 inches (thin porcelain) to 2.5 inches (maximum deck thickness), accommodating standard 2cm and 3cm stone slabs as well as built-up edge profiles. Quartz and granite installations deliver optimal results due to their uniform density, excellent machinability, and resistance to cracking during drilling operations. Solid surface materials cut cleanly with standard carbide hole saws but require slower speeds to prevent melting or burning the cut edge. For laminate countertops, drill from the finished surface using a sharp hole saw and apply painter's tape to prevent delamination of the decorative layer. Concrete countertops must be fully cured before cutting, and fabricators should verify the location of any embedded reinforcement to avoid cutting through rebar or wire mesh. Natural stone materials with prominent veining require careful positioning to avoid placing the hole across visible fissures or fracture planes that could compromise structural integrity. Porcelain slabs demand specialized diamond core bits and extremely careful handling to prevent chipping despite their surface hardness.
Where to Buy
Moen Power Clean faucets are available through authorized kitchen and bath retailers including Ferguson, Supply.com, Build.com, Home Depot, Lowe's, and local plumbing distributors. Professional fabricators can establish trade accounts for contractor pricing on Moen products. Popular Power Clean models include the Brecklyn (87557), Edwyn (87512), Terrace (5923), and numerous other collections across multiple finish options including chrome, stainless, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze. This DXF template file is available for immediate download through the Slabwise template library and is compatible with all major CAD/CAM software platforms used in professional countertop fabrication. The template integrates seamlessly with digital templating systems using laser measurement or photogrammetry workflows. For automated CNC fabrication, the template imports directly into machine control software without format conversion or scaling adjustments. When specifying Moen faucets for clients, verify the specific model number to ensure it features the Power Clean technology, as not all Moen pulldown faucets include this spray enhancement. Coordinate faucet selection with sink specifications to ensure adequate spout reach and proper coverage of the basin area.
