Commercial Deck Mount Faucets

Deck-mount faucets are installed through pre-drilled holes in the sink deck or countertop and are secured from below. Surface mount faucets, by contrast, are mounted directly onto the surface without penetrating it, often used where drilling is not practical. Deck-mount configurations are standard in commercial food service and healthcare environments for secure, leak-resistant installation.

Deck-mount refers to how the faucet attaches to the sink or counter — through the deck surface. Widespread refers to the faucet's configuration, where the handles and spout are separate components spread across multiple holes, typically 8 to 16 inches apart. A faucet can be both deck-mounted and widespread simultaneously, as these terms describe different aspects of installation.

To install a deck-mounted faucet, turn off water supply lines, position the faucet through the pre-drilled deck hole, and secure it with the mounting hardware from underneath. Connect the hot and cold supply lines, ensuring watertight fittings. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks. For commercial installations, always verify compliance with local plumbing codes before completing the job.

A vacuum breaker is a backflow prevention device that stops contaminated water from being siphoned back into the clean water supply. Griffin Products' FM-series service faucets include integrated vacuum breakers, making them suitable for janitorial and utility sink applications where compliance with backflow prevention standards is required by local plumbing codes and health regulations.
