  So where do you go to get a hole punched in it for the mixer?

    I'm guessing the idea is that you have the tap coming out of the wall or something else?

      Or add your own. That way you could have it facing either way.

      Personally would always go for a double sink but if space is an issue then I guess single works

        Generally and the plans for that show it is that the hole is placed to determine if it is left or right handed, I wouldn't advise on trying to add your own hole to a stainless steel sink. Different if the taps come out of the wall.

    Your plumber should have a collection of suitable hole punches. Measure the hole in your existing sink, or measure your new tap, and check when booking the plumber that they have a punch the same size.

    If you want to DIY, hole punches are available, e.g. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/304248215069

    Make sure you order the punch with the correct size. But you'll still have to make a smaller hole, to put the punch's bolt through, and that will be difficult. Stainless steel is much harder to cut than most materials, it work-hardens while you are cutting it. If you have a mate with a plasma cutter, it will be easy. Otherwise, I'd try a diamond abrasive bit, and wear through the metal. Or you can try with a sharp split-point drill bit, but set the drill to it's slowest speed, and apply a lot of downwards pressure so the drill cuts on every revolution.

    Be wary if you want to use a plasma cutter to cut the hole at its final size. Plasma cutters don't leave a clean edge, you'll probably have to spend a bit of time filing to make it smooth, so the tap's rubber seal will sit flush on the sink.

    Personally, I'd go for a wall-mounted spout and separate hot and cold taps, every time, for a number of reasons:

    • no gunk collects around the taps.
    • no chance of leaking into the under-sink area.
    • flick-mixers have flexible hoses, which are supposed to be replaced every 5-10 years. I didn't know that, until I saw the results when one burst at work while the building was empty. Flooded everywhere.
    • "ordinary" tap valves will always be available, and are easily bought and installed. Parts for a flick mixer? You'll probably have to replace the whole thing.
    • flick mixers cause water hammer, because people tend to "slap" them down to turn them off. And they're susceptible to water hammer damage, due to the flexible hoses mentioned above.
    • ever wanted a little dribble of water? Much harder to achieve with a flick mixer.
    • if you have little kids, two taps is safer. You can't bump a cold tap and accidentally get hot water.
