Fontana Black 3-Function Thermostatic Mixer FAQ
Three-Way Outlet Routing, 38°C Calibration & Concealed Valve Testing
This black wall-mounted shower mixer combines a concealed brass valve body,
automatic thermostatic control, and three independently controlled water outlets.
How should the three outlet branches be assigned during rough-in?
Route and label each concealed branch for its designated rainfall shower, hand shower, or tub-spout function, then verify every push control activates the correct outlet before waterproofing and wall closure.
How should the thermostatic control be calibrated at commissioning?
Operate one outlet until the mixed-water temperature stabilizes, measure the discharge with a calibrated thermometer, and realign the temperature handle so its 38°C reference corresponds with the measured output.
How should inactive-outlet isolation be verified?
Activate each function independently under normal supply pressure and confirm that the two inactive branches remain sealed without dripping, pressure migration, internal cross-flow, or unintended discharge.
Which concealed components require testing before wall closure?
Pressure-test the hot and cold inlet connections, brass valve body, thermostatic cartridge chamber, three outlet-control seals, threaded joints, and every concealed branch while all rough-in components remain accessible.
