Is there a difference between an 8 inch bathroom faucet and an 8 inch widespread faucet?

Question

My countertop sink requires an 8 inch widespread faucet. Will one that says 8 inch work?

Answer 1

Same thing...but when you go to purchase one...either make sure you get one that is the trim and rough in valve packaged together OR that you buy both at the same time if they're pacakaged seperately; otherwise, you'll be making an extra trip to the retailer of your choice.

Answer 2

wide spread is 8"
