knobs or handles cluttering up your space.

Single-Hole

These faucets feature a single spout with a handle on one side of the tap that extends over the sink. The handle controls the temperature and can turn the water on or off. Single-hole faucets connect directly under the sink with a water supply line and are installed through a single hole in the sink.

Vessel Faucets

This installation type is used with vessel sinks, also known as above-counter sinks sitting directly on top of a countertop or vanity. They require a faucet that mounts separately from the sink because these sinks aren’t made into the countertop. Vessel faucets are taller than other faucets to reach the vessel sink bowl.
