Fontana FS-9564BN Commercial Brushed Nickel Touchless Automatic Sensor Sink Faucet: Mounting Hardware Cross-Section Detail

This mounting hardware cross-section resource is intended to support architects, plumbing engineers, countertop fabricators, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating the Fontana FS-9564BN commercial touchless automatic sensor sink faucet. The drawing package communicates the faucet base, countertop interface, rubber gasket, metal washer, mounting nut, threaded shank, hot and cold supply hoses, and the installed side-view relationship beneath the deck.

Fontana FS-9564BN Mounting Hardware & Countertop Interface

The FS-9564BN is secured to the countertop through a concealed mounting assembly consisting of the faucet base, rubber gasket, metal washer, mounting nut and threaded shank. The cross-section detail clarifies the order and location of these components and shows the hot and cold supply hoses continuing below the deck.

Required Mounting Hardware Cross-Section Drawing Package

Each drawing should use a consistent component-identification system and clearly show the relationship between the faucet base, countertop, sealing components, mounting hardware and supply connections. The package should identify maximum countertop thickness, hardware order, threaded-shank engagement, under-counter clearance and the installed assembly condition.

Mounting Cross-Section

Shows the complete relationship between the faucet body, countertop, gasket, washer, mounting nut, threaded shank and hot/cold supply hoses in section.

Exploded Mounting View

Illustrates the mounting components in assembly order so installers can identify the faucet base, rubber gasket, metal washer, mounting nut and threaded shank before installation.

Faucet Base & Deck Interface

Shows the faucet base seated at the countertop surface and establishes the primary above-deck interface for alignment, sealing and mechanical stability.

Rubber Gasket

Identifies the gasket positioned beneath the faucet base. Proper seating helps stabilize the fixture and reduces moisture migration around the mounting opening.

Metal Washer

Shows the washer beneath the gasket and countertop interface, distributing clamping force and providing a stable bearing surface for the mounting nut.

Mounting Nut

Identifies the retaining nut that secures the faucet assembly to the threaded shank. Tighten evenly to prevent movement without overstressing the countertop.

Threaded Shank

Shows the structural threaded section passing below the deck. Adequate thread engagement should remain available after accounting for the full countertop thickness.

Countertop Thickness

Identifies a maximum countertop thickness of 51 mm (2.0 in.) in the illustrated condition. Final compatibility should be verified with the actual deck build-up.

Installed Side View

Shows the completed assembly beneath the countertop, including the secured mounting hardware and routed hot and cold supply hoses.

Engineering note: Mounting details are provided for installation and coordination reference. Confirm countertop thickness, mounting-hole requirements, gasket placement, mounting hardware, threaded-shank engagement, supply connections and under-counter clearances against the current approved FontanaShowers product documentation before drilling or installation. Do not scale dimensions from the drawing.

Architectural and Plumbing Coordination Considerations

Countertop Compatibility

Verify that the countertop material and total thickness are compatible with the faucet mounting assembly and allow sufficient threaded-shank engagement.

Mounting-Hole Preparation

Coordinate the mounting opening with the faucet base, sink geometry and approved drilling dimensions before countertop fabrication or field drilling.

Watertight Interface

Seat the rubber gasket evenly so the faucet base bears uniformly on the countertop and the mounting area remains properly sealed.

Fastening Access

Maintain adequate clearance beneath the countertop for installing and tightening the washer and mounting nut with standard tools.

Supply-Hose Clearance

Route the hot and cold hoses below the threaded shank without kinks, pinching, abrasion or interference with the drain assembly.

Final Stability Check

After tightening, confirm the faucet remains aligned and rigid at the countertop and that all under-counter components remain accessible for service.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References

Project verification: Mounting hardware cross-section drawings are coordination tools and do not replace approved project submittals. The architect, plumbing engineer, countertop fabricator, contractor and qualified installer should verify countertop thickness, mounting-hole requirements, gasket placement, washer and nut installation, threaded-shank engagement, supply-hose routing, accessibility criteria and locally adopted codes before fabrication or installation.
