Identifying your faucet size involves measuring the distance between the centers of the two outermost holes where the faucet fits. This is commonly known as the spread. For kitchen and bathroom faucets, standard sizes are often either 4 inches (center set) or 8 inches (widespread). To ensure accuracy, use a tape measure from the center of one hole to the center of the next. If your faucet requires one hole, this measurement isn’t necessary, but knowing the size and type will assist in finding a suitable replacement or fit.
