I installed in close to 1" thick custom cedar. Should work no problem. Great faucet BTW.

Actually, I have not installed this yet, but it will be installed in a 1" thick wood countertop.If your concern is drilling a hole through 1" granite, my advise is to find a professionalwho can do it for you. I don't know if a diamond tipped drill bit in an average electric drill would do it. For starters, the drill bit will tend to skate all over the surface.If you do manage to get the hole started in the right spot, it would be a long, tedious process & without extreme care you might chip the granite.

My vanity is custom built, by myself, from a kitchen table I chopped up and reworked. It's 1 inch thick. There is easily another inch of threading after the nut, so it will allow for up to two inch thick countertop. More than plenty!

Yes, we had it attached to our granite island, although ours was3 cm (or 1-1/2") thick. As long as it opens that much it should be ok

The counter top itself is 1.625 thick and the granite is an insert into that. No telling exactly how thick but the counter top is very heavy so fairly thick.

It depends on your current counters. Do they have rounded edges? If so, I would say that the instant granite will look obviously fake if you are within 3-5 feet due to not being able to wrap those rounded corners (like on an island) very smoothly. If you have square edges everywhere, I would go ahead and do it. It will give "curb appeal" to your kitchen initially and in the photos (and if they don't like it, it can be easily peeled off). If you have formica counters, I do think it looks better than that.

I installed in one hole flush to the granite. I installed two soap dispensers..as we have three hole old installation in our granite.

The unit requires a dedicated hole...if your faucet has a sprayer hole you can use that. If you are installing the faucet onto the granite, you will need another hole drilled in the granite for the unit. Best I can do without seeing the set up. Hope that helps.

You will need a small sliver of granite at the back. It doesn't fit the entire depth.

I'm not sure, but with standard thickness granite I probably could have had double the thickness and it still work. I just know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. I'd guess (can't see now) that the threads are at least 2-3 inches.

I would think so, I have never worked with granite. Please keep in mind you need to drill an anchor bolt in the granite, make sure the granite will support the pressure of the bolt and the drill bit you are using, Larger the bit the more surface pressure against it thus resulting in a larger and deeper bolt required

I did not need to use an extension for my install and I have granite counter. Measure the thickness of your counter to see if it matches

We did not use the base plate in our install onto granite. I don't recall the exact size of the. Awe plate

I have one installed on an over mount sink, seems to be 3/4" thick. I'm not sure about 1". If you really like it, and it doesn't work out, returning the faucet will be easy. I've had no trouble returning items with amazon. Hope it works out.

Hi Ronald, yes I installed this sink in my kitchen in a granite counter top with the same dimensions. I also installed glacier bay commercial spring faucet. It looks greats and is very functional!

We installed this sink (LOVE IT) in 24" cabinets. Granite people had to work a bit with the countertop. but installed it beautifully.

yes you can... what size are you looking for. i offer a 14 x 25+ inch granite. i have limited options above that size. they run about $100 for the largest ones unless you need a custom cut and i can use a special order item number for that. thanks; jt sorry all caps...

Yes my floor was also 1-3/4" thick. It comes with a template for the hole, I drilled four holes one in each corner of the cutout then used a jigsaw to complete the cutout. It is very nice quality for the price and fairly easy to install.
