This faucet’s gold finish stands out, it gives off a rich, metallic shine. Beneath that, stainless steel keeps the whole thing tough and ready for heavy daily use, whether it’s in airports, hotels, offices, or anywhere lots of people pass through. The deck-mounted setup locks it in place and keeps the look clean, plus it works with all kinds of basin styles. Instead of knobs or handles, it uses motion sensors, so you just wave your hand to turn it on. That means less touching, which definitely keeps things cleaner, a big deal for places where hygiene matters. You can also tweak the water flow to suit what you need, without sacrificing comfort or ease of use. It doesn’t quit when water pressure changes either, the output stays steady no matter what’s going on behind the scenes. Built-in energy-saving features cut down on waste, so you’re not burning extra electricity for nothing. And because it needs just a single hole for installation, it fits almost anywhere, all while looking sharp. All the industry boxes get checked ASME, CSA, ADA, WaterSense, CALGreen. That makes it a solid pick if you’re working with professional standards.

Fontana FlowSmart™ Line Gold Automatic Sensor Bathroom Faucet FAQ

Multi-Flow Configuration, Pressure Stability & Energy-Saving Sensor Control

The Fontana FlowSmart™ Line Gold Touchless Faucet combines automatic sensor control, configurable water delivery, and energy-saving operation for high-traffic commercial washrooms.

How should the selectable 0.5–2.2 GPM flow configurations be specified for different commercial applications?

The faucet supports multiple flow configurations, including approximately 0.5, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.2 GPM. Selection should reflect project water-efficiency targets, basin geometry, expected user traffic, and applicable plumbing requirements. Lower-flow configurations can reduce consumption substantially, while higher-flow arrangements may be appropriate where faster rinsing is required. After configuration, technicians should verify actual discharge under dynamic supply conditions and confirm that the selected flow does not create excessive splash.

How should pressure stability be verified across the 0.05–0.8 MPa operating range?

Commissioning should evaluate dynamic rather than static pressure because simultaneous operation of nearby faucets, flush valves, or other fixtures can alter branch-line conditions. With the faucet designed for approximately 0.05–0.8 MPa supply pressure, technicians should verify consistent sensor-controlled discharge during representative peak demand. Significant variation in stream performance can indicate inadequate branch sizing, excessive pressure loss, or upstream regulation issues rather than a fault within the electronic control system.

Why should the G1/2-inch inlet connection be flushed before commissioning the sensor-controlled waterway?

New piping can contain scale, sealing compounds, metal particles, and other construction debris capable of restricting the internal waterway or interfering with valve operation. The G1/2-inch supply should therefore be thoroughly flushed before final connection. If sensor activation remains normal but flow becomes weak or shutoff performance deteriorates, technicians should inspect the hydraulic path for contamination before replacing electronic components.

How should the 0.1–60°C working temperature range be considered when integrating the faucet with a mixed-water system?

The specified 0.1–60°C working range defines the faucet's operating temperature envelope, but safe delivered water temperature should still be established by the building's upstream mixing and temperature-control system. During commissioning, technicians should verify stable mixed-water delivery through repeated sensor cycles and under simultaneous fixture demand. Temperature fluctuations should be investigated at the mixing valve and supply network before being attributed to the touchless control system.
