Our Top Picks
An 8-inch widespread faucet is built for a sink with three holes, where the outer two holes sit 8 inches apart from center to center. Every listing below says so in its title, so the real choice is finish, what comes in the box, and how much detail the seller gives you. For a complete brushed nickel kit, start with the Friho or Cinwiny. For an efficiency label, the Pfister Courant is the one. Matte black has four candidates, and the two Delta models cover gold and chrome.

The ten faucets, one at a time
FORIOUS matte black 3-hole faucet
The FORIOUS listing is a matte black, two-handle faucet for a three-hole sink, with an 8-inch widespread layout and a 360-degree swivel spout. The title also contains the word wholesale and repeats the hole count several times, which reads more like keyword stuffing than a spec sheet. More important, it never mentions a pop-up drain or supply lines, so confirm what ships in the box before you assume the drain is covered. A swivel spout is handy for rinsing the basin, but it needs room to turn past the handles. If the contents match what you need, the black finish and swivel spout make it a straightforward swap on a basic vanity.
Pros
- Matte black finish with a swivel spout
- Clear 8-inch widespread, 3-hole layout
Cons
- Drain and supply lines are not named in the title
- Cluttered wording means more verification work
Who it’s for: Shoppers matching black fixtures who will read the full listing for the contents.
Phiestina WF008-5-BN in brushed nickel
Phiestina sells this as a brushed nickel, two-handle, deck-mount faucet for three holes, and the title names a stainless steel pop-up drain as part of the package. The model code WF008-5-BN is the useful detail: search it and you can usually find the installation sheet, where hole size and deck thickness limits are spelled out. The title says nothing about supply lines or flow rate, so check the listing if you plan to replace old hoses in the same job. Brushed nickel is a forgiving finish that sits comfortably next to chrome or stainless accessories in most bathrooms.
Pros
- Pop-up drain named in the title
- Model code makes it easy to find the install sheet
Cons
- Supply lines and flow rate not in the title
- Only the brushed nickel version is covered here
Who it’s for: Replacement jobs that need a drain and a brushed nickel finish.
Friho brushed nickel with drain and hoses
Friho packs the most into a short title: 8-inch widespread, three holes, brushed nickel, lead-free, two handles, swivel spout, pop-up drain and supply hoses. On paper that is the closest thing in this group to a single-box swap. Lead-free is a claim in the title rather than a named standard, so look for the certification wording on the listing, and follow your local plumbing rules if the work is part of a rental or a renovation. Supply hoses vary in length, so compare against the distance from your shutoff valves to the faucet inlets.
Pros
- Both drain and supply hoses are named
- Lead-free claim appears in the title
Cons
- The lead-free standard is not named in the title
- Swivel spout needs clearance to turn
Who it’s for: First-time DIYers swapping a three-hole faucet who want one box.
Cinwiny brushed nickel in SUS304 stainless
Cinwiny states more numbers than most: 8-inch widespread, three holes, two handles, deck mount, pop-up drain, supply lines, a 1.2 GPM flow rate and SUS304 stainless steel. That 1.2 GPM is the only flow figure written into any of the ten titles, which helps if a building or local rule caps bathroom flow. The title does not say which parts are made of SUS304, so ask the listing whether that covers the spout, the body or both. If your building publishes a flow limit for bathroom sinks, this is the listing that lets you compare it directly with the title.
Pros
- Flow rate and material grade are written down
- Drain and supply lines are named
Cons
- The stainless claim does not say which parts
- Brushed nickel is the only finish listed
Who it’s for: Buyers who want flow rate and material on paper before ordering.
Homevacious matte black waterfall faucet
This one is a matte black waterfall-style faucet: three holes, 8-inch widespread, two handles, stainless steel, with a pop-up drain and supply lines named. A waterfall spout pours a flat sheet instead of a round stream, so check the spout width against your basin to be sure the water lands in the bowl. The title also mentions RV use, which suggests smaller sinks, though the title gives no dimensions. Look at the spout reach and height before ordering for a shallow bowl. Cleaning is also worth a thought, since open spouts can collect mineral spots along the edge.
Pros
- Drain and supply lines are named
- Distinctive open-spout look in matte black
Cons
- Flat pour may splash in a shallow basin
- No dimensions or flow rate in the title
Who it’s for: Black-finish remodels that want a different spout shape.
KPW KPWATER matte black with swivel spout
The KPW KPWATER listing is a matte black, dual-handle, three-hole faucet in the 8-inch widespread format, with a pop-up drain and supply lines named and a 360-degree swivel spout. It is one of three matte black options in the group that include the drain. The title calls the faucet adjustable without saying what is adjustable, and gives no material or flow details, so read the bullet points before treating it as a like-for-like swap with the better-documented listings. Make sure the finish matches your other black accessories.
Pros
- Drain, supply lines and swivel spout all named
- Matte black finish
Cons
- Adjustable is never explained in the title
- No material or flow figure listed
Who it’s for: Black-finish swaps where the listing details check out.
Pfister Courant LF049COKK
Pfister’s Courant is an 8-inch widespread, three-hole, two-handle faucet in brushed nickel, with a Push & Seal drain and a WaterSense certified label in the title. WaterSense is a US EPA label for water-efficient products, which makes this the only listing here that names an efficiency program. The model code LF049COKK gives you a reliable search term for the install sheet. The drain is push-style, so look at the listing if you prefer a lift rod. Read the description of the drain and mounting hardware so you know whether any extra parts are needed.
Pros
- WaterSense certified is stated
- Model code makes documents easy to find
Cons
- Supply lines are not named in the title
- Push-style drain may not suit lift-rod fans
Who it’s for: Buyers who want an efficiency label and a model number.
WOWOW black faucet with copper inlet
WOWOW lists a matte black, two-handle, 8-inch widespread faucet for three holes with a swivel spout, a copper inlet, a drain and a cUPC supply line. Few titles in this group name the material of the inlet, so that detail stands out. cUPC is a plumbing certification mark, which gives you something to check on the listing rather than a promise to rely on. The title gives no flow rate, so check that too if your sink has a limit. Copper parts inside a faucet are not visible once installed, so confirm the wording against the manufacturer’s documents.
Pros
- Copper inlet and cUPC supply line named
- Drain included according to the title
Cons
- No flow rate stated
- Swivel spout needs space beside the handles
Who it’s for: Matte black buyers who care about named materials and marks.
Delta Roe 35985LF-GB in brushed gold
Delta Roe is the gold option here: an 8-inch widespread, three-hole faucet in brushed gold with a push-pop drain assembly, model 35985LF-GB. Gold finishes are the hardest to match, so it works best when the rest of the room already has gold towel bars, lighting or a mirror frame. The title does not mention supply lines, flow rate or materials, but the model code lets you pull the manufacturer’s documents before you commit. Because gold tones vary by maker, compare photos in good light against your existing hardware.
Pros
- Finish most of the group does not offer
- Model code makes documents easy to find
Cons
- Hard to match with other metal finishes
- Supply lines and flow rate not in the title
Who it’s for: Remodels built around brushed gold hardware.
Delta Nicoli 35749LF in chrome
Delta Nicoli covers the classic case: an 8-inch widespread, three-hole faucet in chrome with a push-pop drain assembly, model 35749LF. Chrome is the easiest finish to match against older fixtures, towel racks and shower trim, and a model code lets you look up the spec sheet. The title is short on detail beyond that, with no hoses, flow rate or materials. Chrome tends to show fingerprints and water spots, so expect to wipe it down. It is also a safe choice for a rental or resale-minded refresh, where a neutral finish is easier to live with.
Pros
- Chrome is easy to match with existing fixtures
- Model code helps you find the install sheet
Cons
- Shows fingerprints and water spots
- Supply lines and flow rate not in the title
Who it’s for: Replacing an older chrome faucet where finish matching matters.
How these ten were chosen
We read each listing title and grouped faucets by spacing, finish and what the title says is included. Where a title was vague, we say so and tell you what to look for. Selection draws on published specifications, manufacturer documentation and buyer reviews. Nobody on the team used or measured these units, so nothing here describes how a faucet feels or holds up over time. Near-identical matte black listings are kept separate because their kit contents differ.
Before you order, check your sink
Start with the hole spacing
Widespread means three separate pieces, two handles and a spout, each in its own hole. The 8 inches is the distance from the center of the left hole to the center of the right hole, with the spout hole midway. Take that number from your sink, not from the old faucet’s packaging. If you get roughly 4 inches, you have a centerset sink and these listings will not fit. Also note the hole diameter and the thickness of the vanity top, because installation sheets usually state a maximum.
Count what is in the box
Reading the titles, Friho, Cinwiny, Homevacious, KPW KPWATER and WOWOW name both a drain and supply lines. Phiestina, Pfister and both Delta models name a drain only. FORIOUS names neither. A missing supply line is a small purchase, but a missing drain can stall a weekend project.
Finish, materials and labels
Match the finish to what already hangs on the wall; mixing is a style call, not a rule. Materials named in titles are SUS304 stainless (Cinwiny), stainless steel (Homevacious) and a copper inlet (WOWOW). Labels named are lead-free (Friho), WaterSense (Pfister) and cUPC (WOWOW). Check the listing for the actual certificate rather than relying on a title.
A five-number checklist
- Outer-hole spacing (should be 8 inches)
- Hole diameter
- Vanity top thickness
- Distance from the back hole to the basin edge, against the spout reach
- Cabinet clearance under the sink for the drain and hoses
Example: spacing 8 inches, top 1.5 inches thick, and a spout that must reach the center of a 12-inch-deep bowl. Only listings that give reach and thickness limits can be matched to those numbers, so email the seller if the listing is silent.
Where buyers go wrong
- Ordering by finish before confirming the 8-inch spacing.
- Assuming a drain is included when the title never mentions one.
- Ignoring spout reach and swivel clearance on a small vanity.
- Skipping the deck thickness limit on a stone top.

Bottom line
Friho and Cinwiny are the most complete brushed nickel listings, Pfister Courant is the efficiency pick, and the Delta pair suits gold or chrome rooms. In matte black, KPW KPWATER and WOWOW name the most kit.
Common questions
What does 8-inch widespread mean on a bathroom faucet?
It describes a three-piece faucet with two handles and a spout, each in its own hole. The 8 inches is the distance between the centers of the two outer holes. The spout sits in the middle hole. Confirm your sink’s spacing and hole count before ordering, because a layout that is close is still the wrong fit.
Can an 8-inch widespread faucet go on a 4-inch centerset sink?
Not as a direct swap. A centerset faucet has handles and spout joined on one base with holes about 4 inches apart, and a widespread faucet needs wider spacing and separate pieces. Some people fit a different sink or vanity top, but that is a larger project than a faucet change, so check your layout first.
Is the drain included or bought separately?
It depends on the listing. Friho, Cinwiny, Homevacious, KPW KPWATER and WOWOW name a drain and supply lines in the title. Phiestina, Pfister and the two Delta models name a drain only. FORIOUS does not name either. Read the bullet points and what is in the box, and ask the seller if the information is missing.
What do WaterSense and cUPC mean on a listing?
WaterSense is a US EPA label for water-efficient products. cUPC is a plumbing certification mark used to show a part meets a recognized code. Both are claims worth checking against the listing’s documents or the manufacturer’s page. Local plumbing rules can differ, so confirm what your area requires, especially for rentals or renovations.
Is a plumber needed to swap a widespread faucet?
Many homeowners handle a like-for-like swap: shut off the supply valves, disconnect the hoses, unbolt the old faucet and fit the new one. If the valves are corroded, the sink needs drilling or you are unsure about leaks, a licensed plumber is the safer call. Read the manufacturer’s installation sheet before starting.
