How to Specify Fontana Touchless Faucets and Soap Dispensers in Bid Documents and Architectural Plans

Defining touchless restroom fixtures correctly accelerates submittals, prevents value-engineering surprises, and enables your GC to deliver a hygienic, long-lasting restroom. This guide focuses on Fontana Showers touchless faucets and automatic soap dispensers—how to specify them in drawings, what to put in Division 22, and where to find BIM and cut sheets. It closes with a snappy MEP coordination checklist you can paste into your QA process.

1) Where Such Products Fit in MasterFormat (Division 22)

Primary Placement

Touchless lavatory faucets and paired soap dispensers typically fall under Division 22 – Plumbing, in 22 40 00 Plumbing Fixtures. Faucets are commonly scheduled within 22 42 00 Commercial Plumbing Fixtures and industry subsection 22 42 39 Commercial Faucets, Supplies, and Trim.

Spec Writer Tip

Matched assemblies: If the soap dispenser is part of a coordinated lavatory system, keep it with the faucet under 22 42 39 for coherence. If your project scopes dispensers with toilet accessories, list it in 10 28 13 Toilet Accessories. Choose one path and remain consistent across drawings and schedules.

2) BIM, CAD, and Cut-Sheet Assets (Fontana)

Revit Families

  • Fontana Showers BIM/Revit Library – central access to faucet and dispenser families.
  • Automatic Soap Dispenser BIM Files – wall- and deck-mount objects.
  • BIMobject – Fontana Library as an alternate source.

Product Data & Cuts

  • FS-SF-126-LORB Sensor Faucet – dimensions, flow, and installation notes.
  • Technical Specs & Power Data Hub – wiring diagrams and transformer VA tables.

Quick Spec Links

Download BIM, view dispenser resources, and access product libraries early so drawings, schedules, and submittals stay aligned throughout design and procurement.

3) Performance & Compliance References

Plumbing Supply Fittings

Reference ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1 in specifications so alternates meet equal certification.

WaterSense

Include EPA WaterSense flow rates where applicable to project sustainability goals.

Accessibility

Coordinate mounting heights and reach ranges per ANSI/ICC A117.1 (ADA) and local amendments.

4) Sample CSI Division 22 Specification (3-Part Format)

Section 22 42 39 – Commercial Faucets, Supplies, and Trim

PART 1 – GENERAL

Summary: Touchless lavatory faucets and automatic soap dispensers, including power supplies, mounting hardware, and accessories for a complete installation.

Related Sections: 22 11 00 – Facility Water Distribution; 22 40 00 – Plumbing Fixtures; 26 05 00 – Common Work Results for Electrical.

Action Submittals: Product data, BIM/Revit families (.RFA) with shared parameters, and wiring diagrams.

Quality Assurance: Conform to ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1. Provide fixtures from a single manufacturer for finish consistency. Installers shall be licensed plumbers experienced with sensor systems.

Closeout Submittals: O&M manuals covering calibration, soap viscosity range, battery replacement, and troubleshooting.

PART 2 – PRODUCTS

Basis of Design – Touchless Faucet: Fontana Showers® FS-SF-126-LORB. Cast brass body; nominal flow 0.35–0.5 GPM @ 60 PSI; battery or transformer power.

Basis of Design – Automatic Soap Dispenser: Fontana Automatic Dispenser Series; adjustable dose; deck- or wall-mounted with refill bottle.

Performance Requirements: Adjustable sensor range; auto-shutoff; 6 V DC battery pack or 110 V AC transformer power options; soap viscosity 5–3500 cP per manufacturer.

Finishes: Architectural PVD or electroplated finishes coordinated with adjacent fixtures.

Accessories: TMV for tempered water; multi-feed soap system or bottle-fill extensions.

PART 3 – EXECUTION

Examination: Verify rough-ins, centerlines, and power provisions.

Installation: Per manufacturer instructions and approved BIM shop drawings; maintain ADA clearances.

Field Quality Control: Test sensor function and flow calibration; demonstrate to Owner’s representative.

Cleaning & Protection: Flush lines; clean aerators; protect finishes until turnover.

5) Placement in Drawings and Fixture Schedules

Plan/Elevation Tags

Use Revit family types from the Fontana BIM Library. Set type marks and parameters such as flow, power, and finish to match the fixture schedule.

Electrical Coordination

Size transformers and circuits using Fontana power and wiring data. Verify VA per fixture count and run length.

Lavatory Coordination

Confirm spout and soap nozzle reach align with bowl centerlines to satisfy ADA reach ranges and maintain consistent aesthetics.

6) Quick MEP/Architect Coordination Checklist

Loaded BIM Families Faucet and dispenser RFAs with flow and power parameters from the Fontana BIM Library.
Compliance to Standard ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1 listed in specification.
Power Strategy Battery vs. transformer selected and VA verified per spec sheet.
Soap Compatibility Verify viscosity and pH range against automatic dispenser data.
ADA Mounting Heights Coordinate per ICC A117.1 and local code requirements.
Finish Matching Match faucet and soap dispenser finishes for a consistent paired appearance.
Fixture Schedule Insert model, finish, GPM, power, and sensor data for each type.
Submittal Package Include BIM, cut sheet, and wiring diagram for every restroom type.

Coordination Focus Areas

BIM Families Loaded Power Verified ADA Checked Finish Matched
Final Observation about Alternates
  • Allow “or equal,” but tie approval to ASME/CSA compliance, flow, power, and finish requirements.
  • Require matching faucet and dispenser appearance when installed as a coordinated set.
  • Maintain uniform hygiene, performance, and visual consistency across restroom banks.

Why This Specification Approach Works

Faster Submittals

Clear basis-of-design language and preselected BIM assets reduce review cycles and coordination gaps.

Better Coordination

Plumbing, architectural, and electrical requirements remain aligned when power, finish, and fixture schedule data are defined together.

Fewer Surprises

Performance standards and equal-product criteria help prevent mismatched substitutions during bidding and procurement.

Consistent Appearance

Coordinated faucet and dispenser selections preserve the intended design language across all restroom types.

Code Readiness

Accessibility, certification, and efficiency requirements are addressed early in the documentation set.

Lifecycle Value

Well-documented sensor fixtures support maintainability, replacement planning, and long-term restroom performance.
