Sinks and faucets at BVX Home Supply serve both the kitchen and bathroom ranges, sourced from liquidation channels and graded on the product, with pickup cash & carry at our Paterson, New Jersey warehouse. The category pairs a sink or a drilled top with a faucet for either room in one place.
A faucet fits a sink or a drilled top only when its mount matches the holes already there: a single-hole faucet needs one center hole, a centerset faucet needs holes drilled 4 inches apart, and a widespread faucet needs holes 6 to 12 inches apart. Count and measure the holes before choosing a faucet.
| Faucet mount | Sink or top holes |
|---|---|
| Single-hole | One center hole |
| Centerset | Holes drilled 4 inches apart |
| Widespread | Holes drilled 6 to 12 inches apart |
A vessel faucet stands taller than a standard mount, built to clear an above-counter vessel sink. A self-rimming sink drops into a cutout in the countertop rather than sitting above it.
A faucet's flow rate tells you how much water it uses: kitchen and bathroom faucets sold under the federal standard use up to 2.2 gallons per minute, while WaterSense-labeled bathroom faucets use no more than 1.5 gallons per minute for the same job.
Check a sink for chips or cracks around the drain and the faucet holes. On a stainless bowl, look for dents, and on any sink, check that mounting clips or brackets are present in the box rather than assumed to be included.
Sinks & Faucets ties to both the kitchen range and the bathroom range. The measuring guide covers measuring the vanity, the drilled top and the pipes before you buy, and the inspection guide covers what to check on a sink or faucet before you take it home.

Gpm stands for gallons per minute, the rate a faucet lets water through. The federal standard flow for a bathroom or kitchen faucet is 2.2 gallons per minute, while WaterSense-labeled bathroom faucets use a maximum of 1.5 gallons per minute for the same task, so the box's gpm figure signals how much water a faucet uses.
Yes. A vessel sink sits above the counter rather than dropping into it, so it needs a faucet built taller than a standard model to clear the bowl's height. Measure the bowl's height above the counter, and check the faucet's height on its listing or carton before buying the two together.
A self-rimming sink, also called a drop-in sink, fits into a cutout in a countertop. It is one of the simpler sink types to install, and it works with a range of countertop materials. Check the specific listing before buying.
On a stainless steel sink, check for dents in the bowl, especially near the drain, and look at the rim and mounting clips for cracks or gaps. Run a hand along the rim and drain edge in good light. Look at the underside too before you buy it.
