Can it drill a 1/4" hole in 2" granite kitchen counter to install a under sink water filter, If yes should I start drilling from bottom or top?

Yes it can, with the right bit. I would start from the top with a carbide tip drill.

Your 1-3/8" sinktop hole will be just fine. It will be covered completely by the base of the faucet. The faucet base is almost 2" in diameter. Hope this helps.

This will replace an existing undercounter sink. We were replacing our countertop with granite. You will have to make the cut to fit the curve of the sink.

Granite fabricators use water and power tools all the time, not submerged mind you. If just the bit went into water i think it would be fine. Or with a spray bottle start the hole wet then once its started fill the hole with water and take small bites with the drill bit keeping it wet the entire time. Do not let any water get get near the electrical motor ect.

I believe this is an undermount sink. We installed it under the granite countertop.

I'm a general contractor so maybe I can help you out, Are you trying to install this on a granite or other solid surface material? If so you need to go under the cabinet and drill up under the faucet hole with a 2" hole saw through the plywood base as I had to on my granite countertop this should give you enough room for the faucet and the mounting nut.

Just installed this sink and it can be either an undermount or drop-in sink. You can drill the holes in the granite. It's a fantastic sink and we love it!!

Yes, the filter is under the sink and is attached to a bracket that is attached by screws to one of the inside walls of your kitchen sink cabinet. The filter and bracket are approximately 11 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter.

I used a 1/2 inch diamond drill bit (it's not like a normal bit, it's hollow in the middle), you can purchase at your local home improvement store. There are videos that will show you the procedure.I just saw the other comments, those are wrong. I just checked my drill bit to make sure, it is 1/2 inch. DON'T use anything bigger or you will have a giant hole in your nice counter tops.

I installed mine in an under mount sink. We have granite top withe a porcelain under mount sink. Easy to install, looks great.

This unit is designed to mount under the counter. Your holes for faucet soap are going to be cut in the counter top if using this model of sink.

The sink is designed to be mounted under the countertop. There are no holes cut in the sink to accommodate a faucet. Given the heavy gauge I would say drilling holes is not an option.I would contact Kraus or the distributor for a recommendation. We are VERY HAPPY with this sink. It is pure quality throughout.

I did install water filter under sink and second faucet install in hole # 4 that was in my sink. Looking great.

The under sink one will be a little tricky to move. You'll probably end up making a trip to the hardware store to reconnect the faucet to your water supply once you remove the filter at your rental place. That being said I do love mine for every other reason.

Assuming the hole(s) in the granite is only slightly larger than the water lines and threaded rod extending be;low the faucet, access the retaining nut under the counter; loosen it and the metal spacers above it or take them off to start completely over. Refit the faucet vertically using the escutcheon and O-ring or 3-Hole Deck Plate on top of the counter. Under the counter: place the metal spacers around the 2-water lines and arrange them so they bear on as much of the underside of the counter below the base of the faucet as possible - space them evenly. Tighten the retaining nut to keep them there.

I have also secured this through the rear flange of a standard stainless sink. I am not sure it is designed to work in a thick counter top such as granite or quartz. Unit comes with ring to slide up over lines and secure from underside. If you are doing a thick top may have to consult with top installer and see if a well can be drilled in bottom side to effectively reduce top thickness for facet.

No. I installed in a mop sink. Plastic. I used a spade drill bit 1 1/2 inch to make middle hole. Good luck.
