    "widespread" kitchen faucets terminology

    I've got this stainless steel (or possibly Monel) kitchen sink that I am trying to find a faucet for. Problem is the existing holes are on 7" centers. It looks very similar to this: https://retrorenovation.com/2013/07/01/monel-sink-counter-top/ I'm in the UK and our options are very limited...
