Can I replace a two-handle kitchen faucet with a single-handle model?
The answer depends on how many holes you have in your sink. Most two-handle kitchen faucets mount through three or four holes, while one-handle faucets can be mounted through one hole or up to four holes. Depending on the Moen faucet you select, you may have unused holes (i.e. one hole mount faucet replacing a two hole mount faucet). If you have unused holes in your sink, you can fill them with either a cap or soap dispenser. Our faucets are designed to accommodate standard-size sink openings used throughout the plumbing industry. Generally, the standard distance of a faucet’s hot and cold valve connections, for both single and two-handle kitchen faucets, is 8″. Sometimes, there are exceptions. It is always a good idea to measure the distance between the hot and cold valve connections on your old faucet before purchasing a new one.
