Is there a generic 8" rough-in bar that has something like two 1/2 inch NPT drop ears, or do I just have to mount drop ears 8" on center, on a 2x4 set to the right depth, and then choose the right length brass nipples to connect the faucet union nuts?

No mounting bar that I'm aware of. |

some faucets come with excentric nipples so you don't have to perfect with the drop ear 90's.

Thanks folks, I am leaning away from that faucet because the spray hose does not have backflow protection and I know that wouldn't pass inspection. One of the others I am looking at, has the adjustable arms, which would make it a bit easier to adjust if necessary. |
