Fontana Lyon Champagne Wall-Mounted Shower Head FAQ
2.5 GPM Testing, Threaded-Inlet Sealing & Rainfall Spray Commissioning
This champagne 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 modern shower installations.
How should the shower branch be flushed before installing the finished head?
Remove the finished shower head and flush the wall branch until
solder residue, pipe scale, construction debris, and excess
thread-sealing compound are completely discharged. Inspect the
1/2-inch threaded outlet before connecting the fixture.
How should the 1/2-inch threaded inlet be sealed and pressure-tested?
Inspect both threaded surfaces, apply approved sealing material
sparingly, and engage the connection without cross-threading.
Support the inlet during tightening, then pressurize the completed
joint and inspect it for seepage before closing access.
How should the specified 2.5 GPM output be verified during commissioning?
Stabilize the operating pressure, purge entrained air, and conduct
a timed volumetric test at the shower head. Reduced delivery may
indicate branch pressure loss, construction debris, mineral
restriction, or obstruction within the flow-control passage.
What confirms balanced operation across the square rainfall spray face?
Verify uniform discharge across the complete 7-11/16-inch nozzle
field without inactive outlets, weak perimeter zones, pulsing,
lateral jetting, or irregular droplet formation. Uneven coverage
normally requires branch flushing or localized nozzle cleaning.
