4 offset holes? Is one for a soap dispenser?

It is a curved metal pipe. Probably $5 in material and labor. I am assuming because you might buy 2-3 in your life.

I wondered the same thing building my house when the wife picked out a $900 faucet. You know what else is expensive? Front doors and big sliding glass doors. Good lord...

Go to Coburn's.

Tell them your nephew is a contractor and ask for the contractor's discount. (They NEVER ask for a name.)

I got 4 $400 toilets for less than $200 each and also got a faucet for half of what it costs retail.





No you didn't... well you may have, but it wasn't because you told them your nephew is a contractor.

Was, but I'm putting a water filter thing where that went. I don't want a soap dispenser either because I've used it exactly zero times in two and a half years

Sink is original cast iron to the 1940s house. Not gonna replace it. I actually saw a Kohler one just like it (same hole orientation) when driving around today

Get a faucet hole cover for $2 and eliminate the 4th hole. You can get different finishes or color dependent upon your hole color fetish.

Just do that. Who cares how it looks when you can keep all that extra money in your pocket.

The good brands have a lifetime warranty and they abide by them pretty well. Keep your paperwork, receipts.
