Reasons to Use a Two-Handle Single-Hole Faucet

Adapted for a Single-Hole Opening

Many smaller kitchen sinks and bar prep sinks feature only a single-hole cutout for a faucet connection. It’s possible to cut a hole in a metal sink, but it’s not recommended for many porcelain or fire clay sinks. A two-handle single-hole faucet is designed to provide the convenience of two taps without needing two holes. This also eliminates the difficulty of matching the right spacing between two or more holes as well, which are common issues with bathroom and kitchen sinks alike.

Delicate Control Over the Temperature

Two-handle faucets are popular for giving the user complete control over the water temperature. Single-handle faucets are often described as feeling mushy or difficult to adjust just right. Control over the pressure is also less sensitive when dealing with just a single handle. Yet many homeowners buy one under the misconception that a single hole in a sink automatically limits them to a single-handle faucet. A two-handle single-hole faucet offers the convenience of dual taps without the need for a second hole.

Quick Installation

Putting in a traditional two-handle faucet means connecting two separate water lines. Since the two-handle single-hole faucet connects to both lines in one base and mixes them inside the fixture, installation goes a little faster. Even if a sink has two holes, the second opening is easily covered with a matching cap.
