This template ensures accurate hole placement for granite, quartz, marble, and engineered stone countertops, meeting Delta's published specifications with ±1/8 inch tolerance for optimal fit and finish.
Installation Overview
The Delta soap dispenser template features a single 1.375-inch diameter hole, which is Delta's universal standard for their entire line of kitchen soap and lotion dispensers. This hole size accommodates Delta's RP series dispensers with their signature threaded mounting system that provides secure installation in countertops up to 2 inches thick. The 1.375-inch specification includes Delta's ±1/8 inch tolerance, meaning holes from 1.25 to 1.5 inches are acceptable, though fabricators should target the exact 1.375-inch diameter for optimal fit. When positioning this template, Delta recommends placing the dispenser 7-8 inches from the faucet center for right-handed operation, though left-side placement is common for left-handed homeowners. The template works with all Delta finish families including Chrome, Stainless, Champagne Bronze, Venetian Bronze, Arctic Stainless, and Matte Black. For installations with Delta Touch2O or VoiceIQ faucets, maintain adequate spacing to prevent interference with electronic components.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC machine for a single 1.375-inch (34.925mm) diameter through-hole using a diamond-grit hole saw or core bit rated for natural stone or engineered materials. For granite and quartzite, maintain spindle speeds between 800-1200 RPM with constant water flow to prevent thermal stress and micro-fracturing. Delta dispensers feature a substantial brass mounting shank that requires precise hole diameter - cutting oversized holes may compromise the mounting integrity and cause spinning during installation. Pre-mark the hole location and verify countertop thickness, as Delta dispensers accommodate surfaces from 1 inch to 2 inches thick. For materials exceeding 1.75 inches, verify that the specific Delta model includes an extended shank option. Apply masking tape on both entry and exit surfaces to minimize chipping, and use a backing board when breakthrough occurs.
Material Compatibility
This template is universally compatible with all natural stone and engineered surfaces including granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, travertine, quartz composites (Caesarstone, Silestone, Cambria, Viatera), solid surface (Corian, Staron, Gibraltar), and ultra-compact materials (Dekton, Neolith, Lapitec). Delta soap dispensers are manufactured with solid brass construction and premium finishes that complement both natural and engineered materials. The 1.375-inch hole specification works seamlessly with 2cm and 3cm thick countertops, making it ideal for standard residential and commercial applications. For fragile materials like marble or highly figured quartzite, consider applying fiberglass mesh reinforcement to the underside before cutting to prevent stress cracking around the hole during installation or long-term use. Delta's finish options are engineered to resist corrosion and maintain appearance on all material types.
