Moen Single Hole
Description
This universal DXF template provides the industry-standard cutting dimensions for Moen single-hole kitchen faucets across all design collections and finish options. As the most common faucet configuration in modern kitchens, single-hole installations offer clean aesthetics and simplified installation compared to traditional three-hole or widespread configurations. This template ensures accurate hole placement for the vast majority of Moen's kitchen faucet lineup, including popular collections such as Arbor, Align, Sleek, Essie, Brecklyn, Georgene, and dozens of other single-handle pulldown and pullout models. Professional countertop fabricators rely on this template to achieve precise, consistent cuts across quartz, granite, marble, and solid surface materials while maintaining compatibility with Moen's standardized mounting hardware. The 1.375-inch hole diameter accommodates the faucet shank, deck gasket, supply lines, and pulldown hose assembly, providing proper clearance for secure installation through deck thicknesses up to 2.5 inches.

Installation Overview
Standard Moen single-hole faucets require a 1.375-inch (1-3/8 inch or 35mm) diameter mounting hole positioned to optimize functionality and aesthetics in the kitchen workspace. The installation process begins with placing the deck gasket onto the base of the faucet body, aligning the ribs on the faucet with the slots in the gasket, and inserting the complete assembly through the prepared countertop hole. From beneath the deck, a mounting washer slides onto the threaded faucet shank, followed by the mounting nut which is tightened using Moen's included installation tool or a basin wrench. Position the faucet hole 2-4 inches behind the front edge of the sink rim to maximize spray coverage while minimizing splashing beyond the sink basin. Maintain minimum 2-inch clearance from the hole center to adjacent cutouts for undermount sinks to preserve structural integrity in the countertop material. Verify adequate under-counter clearance of 8-12 inches below the deck surface for the pulldown hose, counterweight, and supply line connections. The hole must be cut perpendicular to the countertop surface with smooth, clean edges to ensure proper gasket compression and a watertight seal that prevents water infiltration into the cabinet below.
CNC Cutting Notes
Programming CNC equipment for this template follows standard protocols for precision hole cutting in countertop materials. Select a 1.375-inch diameter hole saw or diamond core drill bit rated for the specific material being fabricated. For quartz composites and engineered stone, use diamond-coated core bits with adequate segment height (minimum 8mm) and side cooling ports to manage heat generation during cutting. Set spindle speeds between 2000-3000 RPM for quartz, reducing to 1500-2500 RPM for natural granite and marble to prevent overheating and thermal cracking. Maintain consistent feed rates of 3-6 inches per minute depending on material density, with harder materials requiring slower advancement. Continuous water flow is critical for bit cooling, dust suppression, and extending tool life. The DXF template is provided at actual 1:1 scale and imports directly into all major CAM software platforms including Vectric VCarve, AlphaCam, Mastercam, RhinoCAM, and proprietary CNC control software. The template uses center-point geometry for precise positioning, so verify machine zero-point calibration before initiating the cutting cycle. For manual fabrication operations, transfer the template to the countertop using a center punch to mark the exact hole center, drill a 1/4-inch pilot hole through the material, then use the hole saw from the finished surface downward to minimize edge chipping and breakout. When cutting near sink cutouts or other edges, ensure adequate material support to prevent fracturing. For brittle materials like marble or thin porcelain slabs, apply blue painter's tape or clear packing tape to the top surface before cutting to reduce micro-fracturing around the hole perimeter.
Material Compatibility
This universal faucet hole template is engineered for compatibility with all standard residential and commercial countertop materials including quartz composites (Cambria, Caesarstone, Silestone), natural granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, solid surface materials (Corian, Hi-Macs, Staron, Wilsonart), laminate, butcher block, poured concrete, porcelain slabs, stainless steel, recycled glass composites, and ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith). Material thickness compatibility ranges from 0.5 inches (thin porcelain installations) to 2.5 inches (maximum deck thickness for standard Moen mounting hardware), encompassing both 2cm and 3cm stone slabs as well as laminated edge profiles and built-up designs. Quartz and granite deliver optimal cutting results due to their uniform density, excellent dimensional stability, and resistance to cracking during machining operations. Solid surface materials machine cleanly with carbide-tipped hole saws but require reduced cutting speeds to prevent heat buildup that can melt or discolor the material edges. Laminate countertops should be cut from the finished decorative surface using sharp tooling, with masking tape applied to prevent delamination or chipping of the top layer. Concrete countertops must reach full cure strength before cutting, and fabricators should use metal detectors or refer to reinforcement drawings to avoid cutting through embedded rebar or wire mesh that can damage tooling and compromise structural integrity. Natural stone materials exhibiting prominent veining, fissures, or color variation require careful hole positioning to avoid placing cuts across visible fracture planes that could propagate during use. Porcelain slabs demand specialized diamond core bits designed specifically for ultra-hard ceramic materials, along with extremely careful handling to prevent edge chips despite their impressive surface hardness.
Where to Buy
Moen single-hole kitchen faucets are available through authorized retailers nationwide including Ferguson, Supply.com, Build.com, Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, Amazon, and local plumbing supply distributors. Professional countertop fabricators and kitchen designers can establish trade accounts with Ferguson or regional supply houses to access contractor pricing and extended product availability. Moen's extensive single-hole faucet lineup includes collections at multiple price points from entry-level models around 100 dollars to premium collections exceeding 500 dollars, available in finishes including chrome, stainless steel, Spot Resist stainless, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, brushed gold, and Mediterranean bronze. This universal DXF template is available for immediate download through the Slabwise templates library at no cost and is compatible with all major CAD, CAM, and CNC control software platforms used in professional countertop fabrication. The template integrates seamlessly with digital templating workflows using laser measurement systems, photogrammetry, or manual measurement and layout. For automated fabrication operations, the template imports directly into machine control software without requiring format conversion or dimensional scaling. When specifying Moen faucets for residential or commercial projects, verify spout height and reach dimensions to ensure compatibility with the sink configuration and adequate clearance for large pots and baking sheets beneath the faucet.
