faucet shopping vent

A plumber has looked at this (ie: can't find the new part for the broken faucet) and can't tell you what kind of faucet you need?

#1 - Get a new plumber

Faucet holes are pretty much standardized. There are certain specifications for kitchens, bathrooms, tubs and roman tubs. A good plumber should be able to just look at the faucet and tell you what you need.

We just replaced our kitchen sink and our bathroom faucets. In the kitchen, we went from a side sprayer to the sprayer on the spout and just picked that up at Costco, never measured. The soap dispenser fits in the hole where the sprayer used to be.

The plumber told us to get "bathroom faucets" for our sinks and specifically a "roman tub" faucet for our jetted tub. He even told us the brands that were easiest to self-install.

our plumber did tell us to get a single hole faucet, but I just didn't think of all of these questions until after the fact.

I didn't even think of looking at costco!

just went to home depot to talk to them and the woman knew even less than I did. think I'll call delta direct and ask. I also came across a faucet there that has me a bit intrigued...it was really pretty on the display. http://www.vidavici.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=16034

The soap dispenser is just a separate little bottle, so it shouldn't matter on the distance for that hole. Where your problem would be is in the handle portion. If the hole where the handle portion would be is directly above your water connections, it would be OK. But (and a BIG but), w/ a 7.5" distance to the spout hole, you probably wouldn't be able to pull the sprayer out very far, if at all, which would IMO defeat the purpose of a pull-down sprayer.

If you don't want to make anothe rhole, you'll probably have to forego a pull-down sprayer model and stick w/ the seprate sprayer.
