Choose a new faucet that fits your bathroom sink

[Alaina]

I want to install a new bathroom faucet but have been confused about what type to order.

The faucet I like is called a "widespread" faucet.

What is a widespread faucet and will it fit on my present bathroom sink?

Widespread bathroom sink faucets are a great choice for larger vanities and pedestal bathroom sinks. Like the name says, the faucet handles and spout are spread out a little farther from each other over a standard-type bathroom faucet. This means you need to have a widespread set up on your present sink, or you'll need to install a new sink to accommodate the faucet.

The usual widespread sink hole set up is three faucet holes that measure between 8- to 16-inches from one handle side to the other with the spout in the middle.

Bottom line: Know your sink type and style before ordering your new faucet to avoid widespread confusion!

From my understanding, widespread faucets have provisions for running hot and cold water through the pipes. There are three units and occupy a part of your sink. I gotta agree with homeimprovement guy here, make sure it's feasible with your sink type and shape.
