One hole kitchen faucet in 3 hole 4" center set laundry sink?
I am building a townhouse and have included a slop/utility sink in the laundry room which I plan to use primarily to bathe my little 10 lb dog.
- I ordered a Kohler Bellera Single-Handle Pull-Down Sprayer Kitchen Faucet since I wanted a pull down sprayer with a single handle temperature control and the ability to switch from shower to stream spray.
- The developer says it won't work since it's a kitchen faucet and the holes are the wrong size. They have currently installed a standard 2 handled bathroom faucet which I hate.
Question: Is there any reason they wouldn't be able install the Bellara faucet along with the deckplate (aka escutcheon) that comes with it to cover the other two holes?
There is a Delta Broadmoor 2 handled bathroom faucet that I found which has a pull down sprayer but I don't like the look or the functionality nearly as well as the Bellara.
I'll include photos of the laundry room (the cabinet handles are supposed to be oil rubbed bronze and will be switched), the current sink/faucet and the Bellara and the Broadmoor for ease of reference.

Is that odd: using single hole faucet with 3-hole vanity top?
Comments (17)I think you have gotten some good suggestions, and if you will actually use the lotion and soap in the dispensers that is a fine solution. (although if this is for a guest bath or powder, will guests know which is soap if you go that route?) I just worry that you like the single hole faucet because you like that uncluttered look and adding extra things in will make it look just as cluttered as two handles would and you won't be happy with the outcome. If that is the case, white plug covers to match the sink would look best, imho. Or ppbenn's suggestion as a nice compromise. You can take all this with a grain of salt, as personally I am a fan of the widespreads, and I would probably get the widespread to fit the 3-hole. ;-)...See MoreHow to align center holes for faucets in countertop?
Comments (5)One thing to be careful of... Ours are all on-center with each other. However, the soap dispenser, when pumped, drops the stream of soap down right along the back edge of the sink. If it were just 1/4 inch closer in to the sink, it would drop it into the sink, where it really needs to be... Lynn...See MoreSet up for 3 holes in granite . What do you think?
Comments (6)You must have a really big sink, Sylvia. The dimensions you mention are the same for mine EXCEPT that's the space above the BIG bowl. Are you measuring inside edge of small sink bowl to middle of bridge??? If you truly have 16 inches of space above the small bowl, then the measurements for spacing holes sound about right. Mine, above the big bowl (I wanted them there and know is not the normal place where people put them) are spaced this way: Center of faucet hole is even with center of bridge. Then airgap is set (center of hole to center of hole) 8-1/2" away, then soap dispenser is set (center of airgap hole to center of soap dispenser hole) 5-1/2" away from airgap....See More2 holes or 4 holes? That's the questions..
Comments (11)Ask any plumber and s/he will tell you that the faucets with integrated sprayers break less than side sprayers. Also, a separate side sprayer makes you have to keep holding it to stay on spray. A separate side sprayer has less water pressure than an integrated sprayer because the water flow has to be diverted to the side. And, it's more holes to clean around. If you are thinking of adding a hot water dispenser, and/or soap dispenser, and/or a disposal air switch, you will have a "forest" of holes to clean around. Whatever you end up choosing, hold off on your granite fabrication/installation until you've made your choice of either a single-hole faucet or multi-hole and side sprayer. Also think about whether you want any of the accessories I mentioned in my previous paragraph. Don't install your granite until you've made your other choices. Have you chosen your sink? Don't let the granite people choose it for you. Get one that YOU want....See MoreKarin Magnuson

last yearPlease verify what that sink is made of . It looks like the plastic sinks typical for a laundry room. If it is then it's easy enough to put hole patterns for that faucet and base plate IF the deck area is big enough for the plate.
Check this faucet:
This is on Wayfair

last yearSo change of plans... Since that is a 2 hole sink - nothing with a base plate will work - they require 3 holes. You will need a faucet that is a single hole mount ( it must fit the opening of the sink ) You will have to off set the faucet and get a cap for the other hole
The faucet you have might squeeze through the hole - you will have to check . You can also look into bar sink faucets - sometimes they have a smaller mounting requirement.This seems like the only option at this point.
There are some brilliant people on here, maybe they have another idea other than returning the sink and getting the single hole version.
Good luck
