Delta Pierce Sink faucet mounting bracket

[steelersfan32123]

Hi all! I am a relatively new DIYer looking to install a new faucet in my bathroom. I removed the old faucet, installed the new handles, and was going to install the faucet head itself when I discovered that the three holes drilled into the porcelain are too narrow to accommodate the mounting bracket on the underside of the sink.


I know I could disassemble, return, and install a centerset vs. widespread faucet, but would prefer to find a workaround (even if suboptimal if possible). I've attached pictures for reference. Note that the final is with the faucet dry fit for reference.


Also, here is the faucet itself if more detail needed: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Delta-P...potShield-Brushed-Nickel-35899LF-SP/312734946


Thanks for your help!

It won't work. You bought an 8" spread faucet, you need a 4" spread faucet. 8" for a kitchen sink, 4" for a bathroom vanity.

Take it out, clean it up and repackage it. They will let you exchange it. it should be a 1 piece, 4" centers vanity faucet.

If you like the looks of the widespread faucet you can ask them about a mini-spread. Same looks but more compact.
