Kohler Soap/Lotion Dispenser
Description
This precision DXF template provides the exact hole pattern for select Kohler soap and lotion dispensers requiring a 1.25-inch diameter mounting hole. Designed for professional stone fabricators working with Kohler's compact dispenser models, this template ensures accurate hole placement for granite, quartz, marble, and engineered stone countertops. The 1.25-inch hole size represents a mid-range specification between compact 1-inch holes and standard 1.375-inch openings, providing compatibility with Kohler dispensers that feature adjustable mounting hardware designed to accommodate a range of hole sizes from 1.25 to 1.5 inches.

Answer summary
What is the Kohler Soap/Lotion Dispenser DXF template for?
Kohler Soap/Lotion Dispenser is a faucet & fixture holes DXF template for countertop fabrication. Use it only after matching the manufacturer, model, dimensions, variant, and shop workflow to the actual job.
Risk check: Similar-looking products can use different cutout geometry. Confirm the official spec, shop tolerance, material behavior, and CNC output before production.
Next step: Run a DXF check, compare related templates, and keep the current manufacturer spec with the job packet.
Template decision guide
Should you use the Kohler Soap/Lotion Dispenser DXF template?
Use the template page to shortlist a production file, then verify the exact model, variant, and machine workflow before cutting.
Best fit
Kohler Soap/Lotion Dispenser is most useful when the product, manufacturer, model, install type, and variant match the job you are fabricating.
What to compare
Compare model number, dimensions, reveal or overhang, bowl or appliance geometry, material thickness, and CNC output requirements.
Risk check
Do not use a similar-looking template as a final production file. Small changes in flange, radius, trim, or reveal can cause a failed cutout.
Evidence to verify
Check the current manufacturer spec, field measurement, template preview, DXF layers, and a shop-approved tolerance before production.

Page-specific notes for Kohler Soap/Lotion Dispenser
These notes are assembled from this exact template record, its category, available variants, and nearby template comparisons. They are meant to make the page more useful than a generic download page.
Exact record SlabWise is using
Kohler Soap/Lotion Dispenser is filed under Faucet & Fixture Holes. The normalized record lists no normalized dimensions are listed in the template record, so the safest use is as a production starting point that still gets checked against the current job packet.
Variant choice
This record is shown as a single template variant. Treat that as a reason to verify reveal, overhang, and cutout assumptions before the file reaches production.
Category-specific production check
Faucet & Fixture Holes files should be checked for fit against material thickness, edge treatment, sink or appliance clearance, CNC layer expectations, and the shop's preferred tolerance before cutting customer material.
Closest comparisons
Before choosing this file, compare it with Faucet 3-Hole 4in Center (10x4 card), Faucet 3-Hole 4in Center (12x4 card), Faucet 3-Hole 4in Center (14x4 card) to catch small model, radius, flange, or layout differences that can change the final cut.

This precision DXF template provides the exact hole pattern for select Kohler soap and lotion dispensers requiring a 1.25-inch diameter mounting hole. Designed for professional stone fabricators working with Kohler's compact dispenser models, this template ensures accurate hole placement for granite, quartz, marble, and engineered stone countertops. The 1.25-inch hole size represents a mid-range specification between compact 1-inch holes and standard 1.375-inch openings, providing compatibility with Kohler dispensers that feature adjustable mounting hardware designed to accommodate a range of hole sizes from 1.25 to 1.5 inches.
Installation Overview
The Kohler soap/lotion dispenser template features a single 1.25-inch diameter hole, which accommodates select Kohler dispenser models including certain variations of their popular K-1895, K-1893, and other contemporary and transitional design series. While Kohler's standard specification typically calls for 1.375-inch holes, some of their premium dispenser models feature adjustable mounting collars that work effectively with holes ranging from 1.25 to 1.5 inches in diameter. This flexibility makes the 1.25-inch template ideal for installations where slightly smaller holes are preferred for structural reasons or aesthetic considerations. When positioning this template, Kohler recommends placing the dispenser 7-8 inches from the faucet center to provide optimal ergonomics and visual balance. The template works seamlessly with Kohler's extensive finish portfolio including Polished Chrome, Vibrant Stainless, Brushed Nickel, Oil-Rubbed Bronze, Matte Black, and their premium PVD finishes. Kohler dispensers accommodate countertop thicknesses up to 2 inches, making them compatible with both 2cm and 3cm fabrication standards.
CNC Cutting Notes
Program your CNC machine for a single 1.25-inch (31.75mm) diameter through-hole using a diamond-grit hole saw or core bit rated for the specific material being cut. For granite and natural stone, maintain spindle speeds between 850-1250 RPM with consistent water cooling to achieve clean edges and prevent thermal damage. The 1.25-inch diameter represents a middle ground that removes less material than standard holes while providing adequate clearance for premium dispenser mounting hardware. Pre-drill a pilot hole to ensure precise positioning and prevent bit walking during initial engagement with the stone surface. For quartz and engineered surfaces, reduce feed rates by 15-20% compared to standard hole sizes to prevent resin degradation and ensure smooth edges without burning or discoloration. Apply quality masking tape on both entry and exit surfaces to minimize microchipping, particularly important with this intermediate hole size where tight tolerances are expected. For automated production environments, this template integrates seamlessly with multi-hole drilling sequences.
Material Compatibility
This template is universally compatible with all natural stone and engineered countertop materials including granite, marble, quartzite, soapstone, travertine, onyx, quartz composites (Caesarstone, Silestone, Cambria, Viatera, Hanstone), solid surface materials (Corian, Staron, Hi-Macs, Gibraltar), and ultra-compact surfaces (Dekton, Neolith, Lapitec). The 1.25-inch hole diameter works particularly well with Kohler dispensers featuring their premium solid brass construction with lifetime finish warranties. This hole size provides excellent structural integrity for 2cm materials while offering the strength and stability required for 3cm installations. For fragile or highly figured materials like Calacatta marble or heavily veined quartzite, the slightly smaller hole diameter compared to standard 1.375-inch holes reduces stress concentration, potentially lowering the risk of radial cracking during installation or thermal cycling. Consider applying fiberglass mesh reinforcement for 2cm installations or when holes are positioned near sink cutouts or slab edges.
