Pfister 4in Centerset
Description
The Pfister 4-inch centerset faucet template provides fabricators with the most common bathroom faucet hole configuration in North America. This DXF template features three holes spaced at exactly 4 inches between the outer holes, with all mounting points integrated into a single faucet body for simplified installation. Compatible with popular Pfister centerset collections including Willa, Capistrano, Pfirst Series, Venturi, and many others, this template accommodates the space-efficient design that makes centerset faucets ideal for smaller vanities and powder rooms. Designed for professional countertop fabricators, this template ensures accurate hole positioning across all countertop materials. Pfister's TiteSeal mounting technology and Pfast Connect supply line system make proper hole alignment critical for leak-free installations.

Installation Overview
Pfister centerset faucets require three holes drilled in a straight line with 4-inch spacing between the outer left and right holes. The template positions holes at -2 inches (left), 0 (center), and +2 inches (right) from the centerline. Each hole should be drilled to 1.375 inches (1-3/8 inches) in diameter, which is the industry standard for bathroom faucet installations. Unlike widespread faucets where handles and spout are separate components, centerset faucets have all valves and spout integrated into a single body that mounts through these three holes. This unified construction makes centerset faucets the easiest to install and the most forgiving of minor hole spacing variations. Maximum deck thickness for most Pfister centerset faucets ranges from 1 to 1.5 inches, accommodating standard 2cm and 3cm stone slabs as well as solid surface materials. The compact 4-inch footprint makes centerset faucets ideal for vanities as narrow as 24 inches. Holes must be positioned far enough back from the front edge (typically 2-3 inches minimum) to allow clearance for the faucet body and handle operation.
CNC Cutting Notes
This template is optimized for both CNC router and waterjet cutting systems. The hole_radius value of 0.6875 inches produces the required 1.375-inch diameter holes. The compact 4-inch spacing between outer holes requires careful positioning to ensure all three holes fit within the available deck space behind the sink. When programming CNC routers for natural stone, use diamond-tipped core drill bits with continuous water cooling to achieve clean edges without thermal cracking. Feed rates should be conservative, particularly when approaching breakthrough, to minimize chipping on the underside of slabs. Many fabricators find it efficient to program all three holes in a single cycle with automatic tool positioning between holes. For engineered quartz materials, maintain consistent feed rates to prevent resin burning around hole perimeters - the close spacing of centerset holes makes discolored edges more visually prominent. Waterjet cutting provides excellent results across all materials with minimal material stress. The symmetrical three-hole pattern allows for easy mirroring or rotation within your CAM software to accommodate various plumbing locations. Always verify centerline positioning relative to the sink before executing the cutting program - the compact centerset pattern leaves little room for adjustment after cutting.
Material Compatibility
This centerset template is universally compatible with all bathroom countertop materials including granite, marble, quartzite, engineered quartz, solid surface, porcelain slabs, and ultra-compact surfaces. Natural stone materials like granite and marble require diamond core drilling with appropriate speeds for the material hardness - harder granites need slower feeds while softer marbles require careful breakthrough technique. Quartzite ranks among the hardest natural materials and demands premium diamond tooling with patient cutting speeds to avoid tool damage. Engineered quartz brands including Caesarstone, Cambria, Silestone, Hanstone, Viatera, and MSI Q require monitoring for heat buildup during drilling that can char the resin binder and create visible discoloration around holes. Solid surface materials like Corian, Hi-Macs, Staron, Avonite, and other acrylic-based products drill very easily with standard tooling and allow for minor on-site adjustments if hole repositioning becomes necessary. Ultra-compact surfaces including Dekton, Neolith, and Lapitec present extreme hardness that destroys conventional drill bits - waterjet cutting is strongly recommended for these materials. When working with patterned or veined natural stone, position the template to maintain aesthetic balance and avoid drilling through weak areas like mineral veins or fissures.
Where to Buy
Pfister centerset bathroom faucets are widely available through professional plumbing supply houses and retail channels throughout North America. Professional fabricators and contractors can purchase through plumbing wholesalers including Ferguson, HD Supply, Hajoca, Morrison Supply, and regional distributors who provide trade pricing and technical support. Major home improvement retailers including The Home Depot, Lowe's, and Menards maintain extensive Pfister centerset selections in their plumbing departments with immediate availability. Online retailers such as Amazon, Build.com, FaucetDirect.com, eFaucets.com, and PlumbersStock.com offer competitive pricing across the full Pfister centerset catalog with detailed specifications and finish comparisons. Popular Pfister centerset collections include Willa, Capistrano, Pfirst Series (value line), Venturi, Brea, Jaida, Ladera, and Avalon, available in finishes including polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, polished brass, and Pfister's Spot Defense coating that resists water spots and fingerprints. Centerset faucets are typically sold as complete units with all installation hardware included, unlike widespread faucets that may require separate valve purchases. When coordinating with clients, confirm finish selection early as some specialty finishes may have extended lead times.
