Description
This specialized DXF template provides precise dual-hole patterns for wall-mounted pot filler faucets with separate supply connections. Designed for professional stone fabricators working with dual-supply pot filler installations that require independent hot and cold water valves or dual shut-off capability. The template features two 1.5-inch diameter holes spaced 4 inches on center with an 8-inch clearance radius, accommodating dual-supply models that offer enhanced control and redundancy. This configuration is common in commercial kitchens, luxury residential installations, and applications where separate temperature control or dual water sources are required. Compatible with commercial-grade pot fillers and specialized residential models that feature independent supply valves for operational flexibility.

Installation Overview
Dual-supply pot filler installations offer significant advantages in commercial settings and high-end residential kitchens. The two-hole configuration allows for separate hot and cold water valves, giving users precise temperature control without relying on a mixing valve within the faucet body. This template positions two 1.5-inch holes exactly 4 inches apart on center - a spacing that accommodates standard dual-valve pot filler bodies while providing adequate clearance for valve installation and service access. The 8-inch clearance radius accounts for the faucet body width and swing path of compact dual-supply models, which typically have shorter reach than single-supply articulating designs. Position the template 12-18 inches above the cooktop surface, measuring to the centerline between the two holes. When installing in stone countertops that meet a tile or stone backsplash, ensure both holes are equidistant from the backsplash edge - typically 3-4 inches from the finished wall surface to provide adequate depth for valve bodies. This dual-hole configuration requires careful coordination with the plumber to verify left/right orientation and to confirm which hole receives hot versus cold supply lines. Some dual-supply pot fillers have specific requirements for supply line positioning based on valve cartridge design.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC to cut two identical 1.5-inch diameter holes positioned exactly 4 inches apart, measuring center-to-center. Precision is critical - even minor spacing errors can cause installation problems with the faucet body, which has fixed valve centers. Use a quality diamond core bit rated for your stone type, operating at 2500-3000 RPM with continuous water cooling for both holes. Cut both holes in the same programming sequence to ensure consistent depth and perpendicularity. When importing the DXF into your CAM software, verify that the 4-inch center spacing dimension is preserved - some software may require you to set explicit dimension constraints to maintain accuracy during scaling operations. The two holes should be perfectly aligned on the horizontal axis, parallel to the countertop front edge. Any vertical offset between holes will cause the faucet to mount at an angle. For thicker stone materials (3cm or greater), some fabricators cut a recessed area between the two holes on the backside of the stone to provide additional clearance for valve bodies and supply connections. The 8-inch clearance radius shown in the template is for reference - it indicates the minimum zone that must remain clear of obstacles, but no arc cutting is required.
Material Compatibility
This dual-hole template is compatible with all standard countertop materials including granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, and engineered stone surfaces. The 4-inch hole spacing works with both 2cm and 3cm material thicknesses, though dual-supply pot fillers with their larger valve bodies may require verification that your specific stone thickness provides adequate depth for the rough-in components. When working with brittle materials like marble or crystalline granite, take extra care when cutting the second hole to avoid propagating cracks between the two holes - the 4-inch spacing provides sufficient material bridge for structural integrity, but avoid excessive vibration or impact during cutting. For ultra-compact surfaces, use specialized diamond tooling and slower feed rates to ensure clean holes without micro-chipping. The dual-hole pattern works well with book-matched stone installations - position the holes symmetrically relative to the vein pattern centerline for optimal visual balance. In commercial installations using solid surface or stainless steel countertops, this same hole pattern applies, though cutting methods will differ. For decorative applications with waterfall edges or integrated backsplashes, the compact 8-inch clearance radius of dual-supply models makes them easier to incorporate into dramatic stone features compared to extended-reach single-supply models.
Where to Buy
Download this dual-supply pot filler DXF template through Slabwise for immediate use with professional CAD/CAM fabrication systems. Dual-supply pot filler faucets are available from commercial plumbing suppliers and specialized manufacturers. These models are less common in residential retail channels but are standard in commercial foodservice equipment catalogs. Brands offering dual-supply configurations include Chicago Faucets (commercial series), T&S Brass (commercial and industrial models), Fisher Manufacturing, and Krowne Metal. For residential applications, some high-end manufacturers offer dual-valve models - consult with luxury kitchen plumbing showrooms. When sourcing the faucet, verify the exact hole spacing as some commercial models may use different center dimensions than the 4-inch standard shown in this template.
