When selecting a bathroom faucet, it is important to make sure that the installation type you choose is compatible with your sink. Most faucets are designed to fit pre-drilled holes, but some may require special installation and plumbing. Whether mounted to the wall, vanity top, or directly onto the sink, it is important to know the anatomy of a bathroom faucet and the benefits that come with each option.
