Separate hot and cold valves on round escutcheons, with a fixed spout between them: that is the illustrative three-hole set configured here. Finish and spout height are yours to choose, and the result goes into a quote request.
A three-hole set is never an impulse buy. It needs a basin or worktop with three holes at suitable spacing, and it takes more plumbing than a monobloc. Buyers are usually restoring a period bathroom, fitting a country-house en-suite or specifying for a hotel. They want the set to look generous across the basin without crowding it.

What you can configure
Chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and brushed brass make up the four finishes shown, from six, with a regular or tall spout. Brushed brass and nickel suit the traditional rooms where three-hole sets are most at home. The spout choice is recorded rather than pictured in this demo. Because the valves sit apart, a production version would show the full spread across a basin.

Why a configurator suits basin taps
Compatibility is the commercial problem. A three-hole set only fits a three-hole basin or a drilled worktop, and the hole centres need to suit the set. Customers who order without checking end up returning the set or buying a new basin. A configurator that asks about the basin first, or offers compatible basins alongside, catches that before the order.
These sets often sit in higher-value bathroom projects, where the buyer is also choosing a basin, bath taps and a shower in the same finish. Six finishes and two spouts give twelve versions of the set alone. Grouping it with matching three-hole basins and bath sets helps a specialist retailer sell the room rather than a single item.
Hotels and renovation contractors buy differently again. They specify one finish across many rooms and need the set, waste and basin to arrive together. A quote route carrying quantities and the matched basin keeps the order correct, and spares the supplier split deliveries when a part is missed.
How a production version would be built
For a three-hole set, I would photograph or render the valves and spout as separate components on a shared basin. The configurator can then change spout height without reshooting the valves, and there is room to add lever or crosshead handles later. The retailer supplies SKUs, hole centres, minimum spacing, and a list of the basins each set fits. Orders can go to a basket or a quote. My explainer on what a product configurator is covers compatibility rules in plainer terms.

- Data each of the 12 combinations needs: a SKU or variant ID, price, stock or lead time, and any dimensions or specification that change
Questions about basin tap configurators
How does the configurator check that a basin has the right holes?
Through the product data. If the basin comes from your range, its hole count and centres are already stored, so only compatible sets appear. For an existing basin, a short step asks for the number of holes and the distance between them, with a diagram showing where to measure.
Can we offer lever and crosshead handles on the same set?
We can, and handles suit layered imagery because the valves are shot separately. Each handle style is photographed once per finish and composited onto the valve bodies. Customers see the exact pairing without the full set being photographed for every combination, which keeps the shoot proportionate.
Will the configurator include the waste and fixing kit?
It should. A three-hole set usually needs a waste in the matching finish, and some installations need longer tails or a fixing kit for thick worktops. The configurator can add these as defaults or prompts based on the basin chosen, so the plumber has every part on the day of fitting.
Is a configurator worth it for a traditional range?
Often more than for a contemporary one. Traditional bathroom buyers are choosing finishes, handle styles, spout heights and matching pieces, and the combinations multiply quickly. A configurator keeps those choices clear and checks compatibility. Cost depends on the families and options you carry; my cost guide explains the factors.
