Fontana Wexford Chrome Deck-Mounted Faucet FAQ
Two-Hole Alignment, Ceramic Valve Control & Spout Geometry
The Fontana Wexford Chrome faucet combines a contemporary double-hole
deck-mounted configuration, ceramic valve technology, and hot-and-cold
mixing control for precise operation in residential, hospitality, and
premium commercial bathroom installations.
How should the two deck penetrations be laid out before drilling the countertop?
The faucet body and separate control must be positioned from the manufacturer’s dimensional drawing before drilling. Accurate center spacing prevents hose torsion, misaligned trim, and interference with the basin rim or backsplash.
Why should the ceramic valve be tested through its full operating arc during commissioning?
Full-range testing confirms smooth modulation between hot and cold supplies, unrestricted cartridge movement, complete shutoff, and correct handle orientation without internal binding or temperature-control dead zones.
How does the 6.69-inch base-to-spout height affect basin coordination?
The outlet height must be coordinated with basin depth and drain position so the water stream lands within the bowl’s central capture area, limiting splash while preserving adequate handwashing clearance.
What should be inspected if flow becomes uneven after installation?
Check that both isolation stops are fully open, flexible hoses are not kinked, supply pressures are reasonably balanced, and the outlet aerator is free from construction debris before evaluating the ceramic mixing assembly.
