Fontana Chrome 2-Way Concealed Shower Mixer FAQ
Dual-Outlet Switching, Ceramic Flow Control & Concealed Valve Sealing
This chrome wall-mounted shower mixer combines a one-piece brass valve body,
ceramic flow regulation, and an integrated two-way diverter for controlled outlet selection.
How should the two-way diverter be commissioned after installation?
Operate each connected shower function independently and confirm positive outlet selection, smooth diverter travel, and complete shutoff of the inactive branch without cross-flow.
What protects the ceramic valve core during concealed installation?
Flush the hot and cold supply branches before connecting the mixer to remove scale, solder particles, sealing residue, and construction debris that could score the ceramic sealing surfaces.
What should be pressure-tested before the finished wall is closed?
Test the one-piece brass valve body, supply joints, diverter passages, and both outlet connections while they remain visible, confirming watertight threaded engagement and no pressure loss.
How should the connected shower outlets be hydraulically coordinated?
Verify that both outlet branches are correctly sized, securely supported, and free from restrictions so the selected shower head or hand shower receives stable flow without excessive pressure drop.
