Wall Mount Faucet and Vessel Sink Placement

3 years ago

Purchased wall mount faucet (Jason Wu for Brizo Lav Faucet with cross handle) and a vessel sink from Wayfair. Probably thinking way too much into this but...

How far above sink should faucet be on wall? And do I need to make sure the end of the faucet is directly over the drain hole in the sink?

Faucet is 8.5” from wall to water spout and drain is 7.5” into the vessel sink (directly in middle and sink is 15” deep)

I think you have reason to be concerned. Nothing worse than having water splashing out of the sink and over the counter. Check the specs for both products.

Show me pix of wall mount faucets on traditional sinks!

thank you! I've already probably-picked out a faucet (Cifial Highlands, which more or less matches my kitchen faucet) but I was hoping to see inspiration pix. I have not found a single picture of a wall mounted faucet with anything besides a traditional vanity (don't want that) or super modern vessel sink (don't want that either). Is there some design rule against console sinks with wall mount faucets?

Great points palimpsest. I have a wall mounted faucet but it is with a farm style sink (not a vessel sink). I planned and planned the location of the faucet above the rim of the sink. The end of my spout (where the water exits) is 4" above the rim of my sink. The sink is about 35" at the rim, above the floor. There is a counter at the side that makes the counter height 36". My rough in is about 40" above the floor. I have a tall wainscot so my mirror needed to be mounted higher. It would be marginal for your use, but my DDIL is 5'1" and she didn't complained about it when they visited. If you plan your installation this should not be a problem for you when you mount your mirror. With you being 5'1", your eyeballs will be at about 56-57" above the floor I think. Start there and plan your installation to meet your mirror viewing needs. If you have a large variance of people heights in the home, maybe you could have the vanity step down to your height needs at your sink. Or have 2 vanities of different heights.

Thanks for the reply, writersblock. The sink has an integrated faucet hole so that I don't need to mount a faucet on the counter or wall, the faucet can mount directly onto the sink. It's hard to describe but the look that I'm going for is something similar to this, but in white and without the nearly 600$ price tag: http://vigoindustries.com/product/16-inch_aristo_single_bathroom_vanity_vg090101181k1# That sink is a drop in, my version would be taller.

No expert here, but when our daughter had her kitchen re-modeled she had the faucet mounted an inch higher than her tallest pot. Seems to work for her.

I did check the specs, I posted the measurements. Neither product mentions how they should be placed in relation to each other though, which is my question.

The faucet looks like the water actually comes out so the drain would need to be more like 9-10” from the wall.

Height is of concern also.

I agree...which is why I need some assistance.

Do you have any thoughts more specifically? I’ve read faucet needs to be at least 6” above drain. The sink is 5” deep so I’m thinking maybe 4” above sink which makes it 9” above the drain?

I’ll include link below. Sink is 5” deep. Dimensions are 19” wide by 15”. Drain is centred.

Based on everything I’m reading, faucet a few inches above top of sink and want water hitting drain. I’m thinking if faucet is 8.5” long then drain could be 10” out from wall. Water doesn’t drop straight down from spout but comes out at slight angle so that plus a bit of height should work? Drain hole is 1.75” wide.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m having the exact same issue and my wall mounted faucet is just like yours, just different brand
