Fontana Lyon Brushed Gold Wall-Mounted Shower Head FAQ
2.5 GPM Testing, Wall-Arm Alignment & Rainfall Spray Commissioning
This brushed gold square wall-mounted shower head combines corrosion-resistant
stainless-steel construction, a 7-11/16-inch rainfall spray face, a
single-function 2.5 GPM discharge, and a standard 1/2-inch threaded
connection for contemporary shower installations.
How should the supply branch be flushed before installing the shower head?
Remove the finished shower head and flush the wall branch until
solder residue, pipe scale, construction debris, and excess sealing
compound are fully discharged. Inspect the threaded outlet before
connecting the stainless-steel fixture.
How should the wall arm be aligned before final tightening?
Confirm that the shower arm projects squarely from the finished wall
and supports the head without lateral loading. Seal the 1/2-inch
threaded joint sparingly, level the square spray face, and avoid
transferring excessive torque into the inlet body.
How should the specified 2.5 GPM discharge be verified?
Stabilize the operating pressure, purge trapped air, and perform a
timed volumetric test at the shower head. Low measured flow may
indicate branch-line pressure loss, debris restriction, or blockage
within the internal flow-control passage.
What confirms correct commissioning of the square rainfall spray face?
Verify uniform water distribution across the complete 7-11/16-inch
spray field without inactive outlets, weak perimeter zones, pulsing,
lateral jetting, or irregular droplet formation. Uneven coverage
normally requires branch flushing or localized nozzle cleaning.
