Laundry room faucet replacement

Mar 10, 2022 Last reply: 4 years ago 8 Replies

I want a long hook faucet like that in the kitchen. I only need one or two holes. No soap dispenser needed. But a laundry room distance between holes is shorter than a kitchen faucet. This is 8 inches from the center of the two outside holes. But the three holes are NOT equally spaced!

uneven hole spacing normal? Where can I get an inexpensive long hook (with spray?) faucet just like kitchen ones but for the shorter distance between holes in a laundry?


Laundry sinks are usually 4" centers.

Here are a bunch

There are plenty of single hole kitchen faucets too.

Thanks. That is what my laundry room has also. But they're not evenly spaced holes.

Did you look at the picture with the ruler laid next to the holes? The three holes are "about" four inches apart.

But they're not even distances apart. Is that normal?

Thanks for that set as it looks like they're called "gooseneck" faucets.

I don't know what's important in a faucet but this one swivels.

Swivel may be useful given we'd fill a laundry bucket inside the small sink because you can move the gooseneck away when putting the bucket in & out.

Which was the reason for needing the gooseneck in the first place. Be nice if it had a spray attachment like kitchen faucets do though.

Those are all one unit with three holes. I am worried that the holes aren't evenly spaced. You can see that in the picture I provided.

I like this long gooseneck the best.

I have about 28" of room but they don't say how tall the gooseneck goes. Is it normal for the 8-inch apart holes to not be evenly spaced?

Yes, it is an industry standard.

If they are not evenly spaced, then you have some oddball sink and you're not going to find replacement faucets. I really can't tell from that photo if they are evenly spaced or not, my guess is that they must be, maybe it's an optical thing, looking at the ruler on an angle?

The holes are equidistant. The spout has shifted in the hole.

I just checked underneath and WWS TEXAS is correct. The whole thing is loose from trying to push it aside to fit a bucket. I didn't think of shifting as I don't have experience replacing faucets.

Now I can buy an inexpensive long gooseneck. Or a swivel if it swings away far enough to put a bucket in the sink. Maybe even one with the pullout sprayer like in the kitchen faucets.

Thanks!
