What I have right now:
- small Drop-In 3-Hole Single Bowl Kitchen Sink
- American Standard 3-Hole pull-out Kitchen faucet mount using the left and right hole.
- because of how the Kitchen sink mount to the granite counter, there is sink clip right next to the middle sink hole. It didn't block the opening of the hole so the Faucet hoses can pass through, but may block any kind of mount on that hole. (More detail in attached photo)
- the Kitchen sink hole is standard 1-3/8". But because of sink metal railing in that area, the space near the back side (from the hole toward the wall) has only 3/16" space before it hit some metal rail. So if the mount is circle, the total diameter of the mount can only be 1-3/4" (1-3/8" + 3/16" + 3/16" = 1-3/4"). The front/left/right side can be longer but the back side is limited to 3/16" space or it will hit the sink metal rail mount. (More detail in attached photo)
The problem I am trying to solve is my old faucet now has very slow water flow. Replacing faucet cartridge and pull out handle didn't help. And also need one hole for Air Gap if possible when I replace my dishwasher (CA now require Air Gap). With the middle hole cannot really mount anything. I am thinking getting a one hole Kitchen Faucet and leave one hole for Air Gap.
What I need is to figure out which one-hole Pull-Out Faucet will be able to mount to my sink existing hole. I look at a lot of installation and spec documentation for one-hole pull-out faucet in Home Depot website and non of them really tell the diameter of the under sink mount. Any suggest of what one -hole pull-out faucet would work?
Or can I use some kind of cylinder Sleeve Bearing or similar shape metal (1-1/2" ID and 1-3/4" OD) to allow more space for the mount (allow mount extend beyond/on top of the metal rail of the sink)

Or pretty much I need to replace it with another 3-hole faucet with similar mount and replace the sink later if I need another hole for air gap?
I have attached couple photos of the area near the holes under sink. Currently the left and right holes have white color mount that is around 1-3/4" in diameter. As shown in the photo the white mount next to some metal rail of the sink preventing anything that is longer than 1-3/4" in diameter. Also attached a photo of the middle hole with faucet hoses (show the sink clip next to the hole).
