Can this be installed without the base plate?

Yes that is the way I installed mine, since I have granite tops. Nice faucet by the way.

Yes, it absolutely can if your sink only has one hole. If sink is predrilled for a three hole for aucet, the base is used to cover the extra holes. We did it that way and it looks great!

It comes with a deck plate and can be mounted without. We mounted ours with.

No, not necessarily. As long as the base is not damaged you need only remove the old cover and install the new one. There may be caulking over the old screws you will have to remove before taking out the screws.

Ditto on JD's answer. I installed without the deck plate and it looks/works great.

Without a center brace or seperation, yes. You could install a center piece. I think there is a similar model that bolts into the bottom tho

No you do not need the base plate. I've installed the faucet onto a vessel sink with single hole.

If your counter top only has a single hole faucet cutout you don't need the base plate. If it has more than one hole, I assume the baseplate is for covering the ones you don't need for the installation of this faucet.

I don't think so. The manufacturer states that you don't need a base for the Pavilion.

Yes, the 4 screws can go directly into the drywall without the wall plate. However, the wall plate covers all the imperfections and makes it look professional and a lot nicer. I tried without the wall plate but decided to do the extra work to install the wall plate.

Yes it can be installed through a 1-3/8" hole with or without the base plate. I prefer not using the base plate. Also, the o-ring that is needed on the faucet base along with the marching plastic ring is difficult to install. Moen suggests you install it by pushing at 12 o'clock & 6 o'clock then with the other hand push it on at the 3 o'clock & 9 o'clock and then work your way around the o-ring until you seat it.

Well, it's been over a year since we bought the faucet, but I don't recall it having a base plate. I would contact the company. At least for me, they were very helpful AND prompt!

Yes, we have installed this faucet in three locations without the base plate. Works perfectly and obviously, we like the faucet!

No there is a separate mounting system for it that installs in about five minutes or so. Without it will not mount.

No baseplate. It is sleek and no ring around the outside, counter top must be cut to fit.

Sorry I'm just now answering you. It does not look like you could attach anything else to the base.

No -- the deck plate is only an option. A single-hole mounting option is provided in the box that allows the faucet to be installed without the deck plate.

Yes. The base is just a "U" squeezing the unit. I have 2 receivers mounted behind TVs without the base on them.
