Fontana Marsala Brushed Nickel Rain Shower Head FAQs
11-3/4-Inch Rainfall Coverage, 2.5 GPM Flow & Single-Spray Balancing
The Fontana Marsala brushed nickel shower head combines an 11-3/4-inch round spray face,
single-function rainfall delivery, metal construction, and a 2.5 GPM rated flow for
specification-grade residential and hospitality shower installations.
How should the supply line be prepared before installing the shower head?
Flush the completed shower-arm supply line before attachment to remove solder residue,
pipe scale, sealing compound, and construction debris that could obstruct the rainfall
nozzles or create an uneven spray field.
How should the threaded connection be sealed without misaligning the shower head?
Apply an appropriate amount of thread-sealing tape to the shower-arm connection and
tighten through the inlet fitting rather than the spray face. Final alignment should
position the 11-3/4-inch round head level without overloading the threaded joint.
What should be checked during rainfall-pattern commissioning?
Operate the shower at the project’s normal dynamic pressure and verify uniform discharge
across the complete spray face. Irregular outer-ring coverage may indicate trapped air,
residual debris, insufficient supply pressure, or partially restricted nozzles.
How can the specified 2.5 GPM performance be verified onsite?
Conduct a timed volumetric test after the system reaches stable operating pressure.
Confirm that the measured discharge does not exceed 2.5 gallons per minute while still
maintaining balanced rainfall distribution across the full shower-head diameter.
