Fontana Valence Black Stainless Rain Shower Head FAQs
11-3/4-Inch Rainfall Coverage, 2.5 GPM Flow & Spray-Face Commissioning
The Fontana Valence black stainless 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
contemporary residential, hospitality, and specification-driven shower installations.
How should the shower supply be flushed before final installation?
Remove the shower head and flush the completed shower-arm supply at full available flow
before commissioning. This clears pipe scale, solder residue, sealing compound, and
construction debris that could restrict the internal waterways or rainfall nozzles.
How should the 11-3/4-inch spray face be aligned during installation?
Support the inlet connection while tightening and avoid using the outer spray face as a
leverage point. The completed shower head should remain level, securely threaded, and
centered beneath the selected wall- or ceiling-mounted shower arm.
What should be inspected when commissioning the rainfall pattern?
Operate the fixture at normal dynamic pressure and inspect the complete nozzle field for
uniform discharge. Weak perimeter coverage, directional spray deviation, or isolated dry
areas may indicate trapped air, debris, nozzle restriction, or inadequate supply pressure.
How can the specified 2.5 GPM flow rate be checked onsite?
Allow the flow to stabilize and complete a timed volumetric collection test at the shower
outlet. Convert the collected volume to gallons per minute and confirm that discharge does
not exceed 2.5 GPM while maintaining balanced coverage across the round spray face.
