minimum distance faucet to backsplash

5 years ago

I have to squeeze a tiny corner, wall mount sink into my new powder room. The specs say distance from faucet to back of sink is 2 1/8". I am trying to find a single hole, single handle faucet. All Delta faucets I've seen say minimum distance to backsplash 2 1/2 ". Other brands say recommended distance 2 1/2" and some give no distance at all. Could someone tell me why some faucets give that distance and some don't and if it matters? Here's the sink: https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/d7/d7599e72-1b9c-485a-b94c-4c6f3d39ddc4.pdf

Reread that - it says " from back of basin to CENTER of faucet is 2 1/8" . " Not that you need a 2 1/8" faucet. Really any faucet without a huge base will work fine. Just make sure it fits through the 1 3/8 hole in the sink - most do

Good luck!

I think back of basin means back of the sink which would be the wall since it's a wall mounted sink. It does seem like a normal-sized faucet should fit there.

Ok so if that is from the back , it still is a dimension to the center of the faucet hole - not the dimension of the entire space available to set the faucet. So any faucet should fit.

That's what I hoped, but Delta is sticking to their guns. They "kindly" suggested this $400 faucet of theirs (with bad reviews) would fit. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/552LF-LPU.html#undefined Very, very not crazy about the faucet or the price.
