A bathroom faucet single hole model needs one opening in the sink or vanity deck, and many of these faucets also work with a three-hole deck plate. The person typing bathroom faucet single hole usually wants to know which models fit a one-hole sink and what comes in the box. This guide compares 12 listings from the research file. It reports only what each listing states, names the brand as the listing names it, and shows where the listings and the sources disagree.

Quick answer

  • All 12 listings are single-handle faucets for a bathroom sink, and each one lists a deck mount or a similar mounting type.
  • Several listings say they fit a one-hole sink and also offer a three-hole deck plate as an option. Check the listing before you buy, because the hole count is the first fit question.
  • The manufacturer instruction sheets we opened give a recommended deck through-hole of 1-3/8 inch for their own single-hole models, and one gives a range up to 1-1/2 inch. Check the exact model you buy.
  • The listings do not agree on everything. One listing names two different brands, another lists a mounting type that does not match the rest, and one lists copper and stainless steel in different places.

How we chose

The 12 products come from the single hole bathroom faucet research file, which was checked on 2026-10-27. We did not rank them, and no listing is named as a top pick. Each product gets the same treatment: brand as listed, finish, material, mounting type, number of handles, included parts, and any feature the listing states. We kept the listing’s own wording only where it is a plain fact, such as a finish name.

We left out claims that depend on performance, such as water-saving percentages, splash reduction, or cycle counts, because the listings give them without a source we opened. We also did not repeat certification claims as fact. Where a listing states a certification, the entry says the listing says so.

For the sink-hole sizes and install steps, we opened two manufacturer instruction sheets and one U.S. government page on faucet flow. The two instruction sheets come from other brands, California Faucets and Newport Brass. They are cited only for general hole sizes and install order, not as proof of any product listed here.

The 12 listings

1. VOTON brushed nickel single hole faucet (ASIN B086TW4S5B)

The listing names VOTON as the brand and RUMU as the manufacturer. This guide does not treat either name as settled beyond what the listing says. The faucet is listed as a brushed nickel deck-mount, single-handle model with model number V-1538L. The listing includes a hose, a deck, and an installation wrench. The material is listed as copper, but one bullet describes the body as SUS 304 stainless steel. That conflict is not resolved by the listing, so ask the seller before you buy if the material matters to you. View on Amazon

How the sink hole and install steps line up

The California Faucets single-hole lavatory instructions say the recommended sink or deck through-hole is 1-3/8 inch. Their steps have you put the flex hoses and the threaded rod through the base ring and the sink hole, then place the mounting bracket and nut from under the sink and tighten. Those steps describe that brand’s faucet only.

The Newport Brass single-hole lavatory instructions give a recommended deck through-hole of 1-3/8 inch to 1-1/2 inch. The same sheet says the use of petroleum-base plumber’s putty will nullify the warranty, and it recommends clear silicone sealing materials. It also says to remove the aerator and flush the system until the water is clear before you check for leaks. This is a manufacturer statement about its own product, and this guide does not turn it into a rule for the listings above.

Before you buy any of the 12 listings, compare its listed fit against your sink. A one-hole sink needs one opening, and a listing that mentions a three-hole deck plate may need that plate or a different setup. The listings do not show the size of the hole in your sink, so measure your own sink and check the model’s manual.

Buying checklist

  • Confirm the sink has one hole, or that you plan to use a deck plate that covers three.
  • Check the brand and manufacturer on the listing, since some listings name different companies.
  • Read the mounting type. Most listings say deck mount, but one says embedded.
  • Note what is included. Some listings include a drain and supply lines, and others list only the faucet and manual.
  • Look for a flow rate on the listing if you care about it. Only one listing in this set states a flow rate.
  • Check the finish name against the color, since two listings give different names.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming every single-hole faucet fits every sink. The listings give hole counts and deck-plate options, but they do not show your sink.
  • Using petroleum-base plumber’s putty. The Newport Brass sheet says it will nullify that brand’s warranty and recommends clear silicone instead.
  • Skipping the flush. The Newport Brass sheet says to flush the system until the water is clear before you check for leaks.
  • Trusting a performance bullet without a source. Several listings make water-saving or splash claims that this guide does not verify.

What we could not verify: what the sources do not say

The sources opened for this guide do not cover any of the 12 listed models directly. The California Faucets and Newport Brass sheets describe their own products, and the EPA page covers WaterSense flow criteria in general. None of the sources we opened say how any of these specific listings perform, how long the finishes last, or whether the parts are compatible with a given sink.

The listings disagree on several points. The VOTON listing names two different companies and two different materials. The LUFG listing lists an embedded mounting type. The Delta listings use slightly different manufacturer names. The sources do not settle these conflicts, so the listings should be checked with the seller.

The research file does not give a WaterSense status for most of the listings. Only the Moen Sarona listing says WaterSense certified, and the EPA page we opened does not list that model. This guide does not verify the claim against the EPA product database. The listings also make certification claims that this guide did not check against the certifying bodies.

FAQ

What does single hole mean for a bathroom faucet?

Single hole usually means the faucet installs through one opening in the sink or vanity deck. The Newport Brass sheet gives a recommended deck through-hole of 1-3/8 inch to 1-1/2 inch for its single-hole lavatory faucet, and the California Faucets sheet gives 1-3/8 inch for its model. Those are the manufacturers’ figures for their own products.

Can a single hole faucet go on a three-hole sink?

Several listings say they include or offer a three-hole deck plate. Examples are the Moen Wellton, Moen Laris, Moen Sarona, and the Delta Arvo models. Check the listing for the exact wording before you buy.

Do I need plumber’s putty?

Not always. The Newport Brass sheet recommends clear silicone sealing materials and warns that petroleum-base plumber’s putty will nullify that brand’s warranty. Follow the instructions for the faucet you buy, since the sources do not give a single rule for all of them.

Which of these faucets have a stated flow rate?

Only the JAKARDA listing gives a flow rate in the research file, which is 1.2 gallons per minute. The EPA page we opened says WaterSense labeled private lavatory faucets use a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute, and that the standard flow is 2.2 gallons per minute. The JAKARDA listing does not say it is WaterSense labeled.

Should I flush the faucet after installing it?

Yes, according to the Newport Brass sheet. It says to remove the aerator, turn on the water supply, and flush the system until the water is clear, then check for leaks and reattach the aerator. The sheet is for that brand, so check your own model’s manual for its steps.

Why do the listings name different brands?

Some listings name one company as the brand and another as the manufacturer. The VOTON listing is the clearest example, with VOTON as the brand and RUMU as the manufacturer. This guide reports the names as listed and does not decide which name is correct.

Bottom line

Start with the sink. Confirm it has one hole or plan for a three-hole deck plate, check the mounting type and included parts, and read the brand and manufacturer names on the listing. Use the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact model you buy, and treat performance and certification claims as the listing’s own statements unless you verify them elsewhere.
