Many of your faucets require 2.5 inches from the center of the sink mounting hole to the back splash panel. This is so the push rod that opens and closes the drain can operate properly. This item is silent on this issue. I have a sliding mirror and the frame extends out, leaving about 1.5 inches rather than the 2.5 inches. Can I use this faucet? If not can you recommend similar one handled items that would work?

Answer:
Thank you for your question. When using Delta Faucet model # 551-DST, your 1.5 inch distance to the backsplash will work with this faucet. You may have to adjust the strap to the pivot rod when installing the pop-up assembly.

Answer:
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model #751-DST is the less pop-up model. However, this item ships with a riser for extended height over a vessel bowl. For Delta Faucet model #551-DST, a plug can be purchased at a local hardware store, pending finish, to cover up the lift rod hole.
