Measuring for Sinks and Faucets
The exact measurements to take before ordering, with a simple step-by-step process.
Accurate measurements prevent the most common and costly ordering mistakes. This guide walks through exactly what to measure, in what order, before placing an order for a sink or faucet.
Measuring for a Sink
Measure the cabinet opening width and depth, the countertop cutout if replacing an existing sink, and the minimum cabinet clearance needed for the sink's basin depth. For undermount installations, confirm your countertop material can support the sink's attachment method.
Measuring for a Faucet
Count existing holes and measure center-to-center spacing if more than one. Measure the distance from the back of the sink to the wall or backsplash to confirm clearance for the faucet's base and handle swing.
Measuring for a Vessel Setup
Measure from the counter surface to the rim of your vessel bowl, then add 6–8" minimum clearance to determine required faucet spout height. Confirm the counter has adequate depth for the vessel bowl's full footprint.
A Simple Pre-Order Checklist
Before ordering, confirm: hole count and spacing, cabinet and counter clearance, bowl or basin depth, and wall clearance for handle operation. Photograph your existing setup with a tape measure visible for reference during the ordering process.
