    Default 3-inch tower template

    Countertops are coming soon. I need to provide a drilling template to the installers so that the holes go in the right place.

    Where can I find the template for the tower? It's a 3-inch dual-tap tower.

    where'd you get it from? The manufacturer should be able to provide you with a template. If you have the tower, the installer should be able to use the tower to draw a template or get the pilot holes in the correct location.

    Or, you could try printing out this template I found using the magic Google. It's for a 3" tower, and see if it matches up to your tower. I would think they should be mostly standard. After printing, it did measure a correct 3".

    If you get that tower before the guys come to set-it-up .... you get a template w/ it.

    Also, you get the rubber gasket which has the 4 holes in it .... just line it up w/ the tower then pull the tower and drill w/ the gasket taped in place.

    Thats how I did it on my chest freezer.

    edit:

    I would assume this template would give you the same results

    Man, sorry Waterloo.
    I was NOT trying to be a smart a$$. I forgot to include the link! My bad. However, the link I found was the exact same one immortals posted. Hopefully you got it before you needed it.
