For Marble Counter-tops, we recommend contacting a qualified
contractor for drilling a hole in a marble counter-top.

you can use for your Drinking Water faucet. (If you are already using
it for a sprayer or soap dispenser, see Step 1).

for damage resulting from the installation of faucet. A diamond tip
bit is recommended.
