Faucet hole diameter and mounting spread are different dimensions. Match the selected faucet’s shank, fixing hardware, hoses and mounting surface to the basin or countertop drawing before fabrication.
Record the hole diameter, number of holes, centre spacing, deck thickness and fixing access. Check clearance for supply hoses and any waste control. Keep the approved mounting drawing with the worktop or basin order so the product and installation opening stay matched.

Kitchen faucet hole size: use a model example correctly
A Delta 9113-series product answer identifies a mounting-hole range of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches (32 to 38 mm). That is an example for the named product, not a drilling specification for all faucets or QSW products. See the manufacturer's product information.

Bathroom sink hole size and the mounting drawing
Record each hole's diameter, the distance between centres and its offset from the basin edge or backsplash. Check the faucet body, handle movement and outlet reach above the bowl. A single-hole mixer with an optional cover plate still needs the appropriate shank opening and a plate that actually covers the unused holes.
Keep the tap opening separate from the sink drain, overflow and entire worktop cut-out. Those dimensions serve different parts. The basin drawing and faucet drawing should use the same datum and unit system so a fabricator can compare them directly.
Procurement checks before making holes
Identify the exact faucet and basin or sink references.
Obtain mounting diameter, hole centres, deck-thickness limits and fixing details.
Check underside clearance for hoses, pull-out weights and cabinet members.
Approve the paired drawing or template before cutting a finished surface.
Record any change to the countertop, fixture or mixer as a new review.
