Hello David,

Thank you for your interest in our products! If you choose the deck (rim) mounted version of this tub, you can only mount the faucet on the side (above the overflow hole).

If you got the tub without faucet holes, you can place a freestanding faucet anywhere around the tub you'd like. Depending on the layout of your bathroom, you could also get a faucet that mounts directly to the wall of your bathroom, and mount it over the end of the tub.

If you have any questions regarding which faucet/configuration is best for you, please feel free to fire away!
