I also have a D-shaped sink and an off-center faucet. I placed the faucet to the left and the *handle* to the right, since I'm right-handed.

Where do you intend to put the handle if you put the faucet to the right? Also on the right? Do you have a soap dispenser or, if it's *not* a pull-down, a separate spray gun? Where would they go?

Thanks, ss, for the response. My faucet is a pull out with the handle integrated into it. In other words, it is a one-piece jobbie.

The hole for the faucet is going to be drilled on-site, which gives me the heebie-jeebies. After reading many threads on this site, I am very concerned about getting dust into the drawer glides. The fabricator has assured me that they will do everything possible to prevent that and to generally minimize dust.

I am not going to have an installed soap dispenser. I will use a plain white ceramic one. I previously had an installed soap dispenser, but every now and then, I want to be able to clean out the bottle.

Our prep sink has an offset mounted faucet and it's on the right. It is also a one-piece pullout. Our prep sink is 5-sided, but we were able to orient the sink the way we wanted to have the faucet on the right. The soap dispenser is on the left. Since we're all right-handed, I thought it would be better to have the faucet on the right. We also wanted our soap dispenser on the left, so everything worked out fine.

My faucet is on the left, closest to my cooktop which is really handy beause I can set a pot on the counter next to the sink and swivel the faucet around to fill it. The handle to turn the water on is on the right....I am right handed.

Don't stress much about the dust from drilling on site...it is minimal.

I think if you are right handed and your faucet is a pullout, you would want it on the right side. Otherwise, I think you will have to do a lot of the spraying with your left hand (now, your left hand might get stronger :)).

Yes, glides can be ruined so prepare your cabinets accordingly. See the "Suggested Prep for Installation:" section in the linked thread below.

We did it all and then for some unknown reason the granite installers removed them in a couple of cabinets and, sure enough, in one of those cabinets the glides were ruined...for all 3 drawers!

The granite company tried to tell us all we had to do was use the compressed air in a can and we'd be fine...nope! The glides all had to be replaced! (We used the glides from the cabinet the installers also irreparably damaged.)

HTH!

We had been looking at th Franke Euro-28 single bowl sink, (we want a deep single bowl with an offset drain) - but didn't know where to best mount the faucet. The 28 inch size of this sink has a 20.75 inch exterior dimension - not much room to mount anything behind it. We were also choosing a single hole pull down sprayer model.

Thoughts on this scenerio as well? Thanks!

My plan was to have my faucet and sprayer on the right, and the soap dispenser on the left, but because I have only a 24" sink cabinet, there was not enough room to drill three holes. I chose to have the faucet on the right, and the sprayer on the left, and do without the soap dispenser. I'm right handed, and I'm happy with the faucet on the right.

buehl, thanks for the checklist. I will print it out and use it when they come.

also thanks to the rest of you who shared your experiences. Since I am now sure that I want the faucet on the right, I don't know why they can't do the drilling outside before they bring the slab in. It is a discussion that I will have with them when they get here.
