LOCATING THE FAUCET CENTERLINE
This lavatory is a unique installation with the faucet fittings mounted
on the c ountertop rather than on the lavatory itself.
The best location of the faucet centerline is determined by three
items: the size of the fitting or faucet spout escutcheons, length of
faucet spout, and clearance between the faucet spout and lavatory
rim.
FAUCET LOCATION
1.Refer to Fig. #1 . Deter mine if the faucet spout escutc heon or
faucet handle esc utcheon will be closer to the lavatory rim
when installed. Items to consider are the sizes of the different
faucet components and the lavatory shape. The escutcheon
found to be closest to the lavatory rim will be used in step 2.

2.Measure the escutcheon, front-to-back, that was found to be
closest to the rim in step 1. This escutcheon m easurement
may also be found on the faucet roughing-in page.
3.Divide the front-to-back dimension in half, and add 1/4”.
Standard sizes are shown in the chart on the next page. The
distance found will be used to draw the preliminary faucet
centerli ne.
NOTE: For all front to back dimensions, round up to the nearest
1/16” (2mm) if required.

DRAW PRELIMINARY FAUCET CENTERLINE
NOTE: The following instructions refer to the installation of
Model K---2332, in an above counter installation.
NOTE: Wall-mount faucet installations: Be sure to provide
sufficient spout overhang into the lavatory basin. Make sure that
the water stream is directed to the center of the lavatory and
there is sufficient hand washing clearance.
NOTE: C ountertop faucet installations: Pay special attention
tothe spoutand handlefit clearancewhen locatingthe faucet,as
noted below.
Countertop faucet installations: Use the template to locate the
faucet spout holecenterline to provide adequate clearancebetween
the edge of the lavatory and the spout.
Refer to Fig. #2 . Checkfor adequate clearancebetween the back-
splash, faucet spout and handles and lavatory. Kohlerrecommends
clearance of at least 1” (2.5cm) between:
D the installed lavatory and the faucet spout;
D the installed lavatory and the end of the faucet handles
;
D the faucet spout and handles, and the backsplash.
Refer to the faucet installation instruc tions for the required
clearance, and mark the preferre d faucet ho le locations.
