Knowing the Distance Between the Sink and a Wall Mount Faucet
Installing the wall mount faucet is likely to cause splashing, regardless of the sink style. However, a deep or tall bowl-shaped sink is less likely to splash with a high faucet mounting pattern than an open vessel style fixture. Most faucets should be mounted from 3 to 6 inches above the level of the countertop. Installing the faucet higher—between 8 to 12 inches—creates more workspace under the spout of a kitchen faucet, but splashing is much more likely at this height.
