Installation Instructions for Bathroom Fixtures
Explore professional installation guidance for
FontanaShowers® bathroom fixtures. These resources
support architects, designers, contractors and
facility teams during planning, rough-in,
installation and commissioning.
Professional Installation Planning
Successful Installation Starts With Preparation
Installation planning begins with confirming the
exact fixture model, configuration, mounting
dimensions, water connections and available service
space. Product-specific instructions should be
reviewed before construction begins, particularly
where valves, controls and electrical components
will be concealed.
Installation by Product Type
Select Your Fixture Type
Explore installation considerations for different
bathroom fixtures, then identify the exact model
documentation for your project.
Before You Begin
Important Installation Considerations
Verify technical requirements before work begins
to help prevent installation conflicts and
inaccessible service components.
▤
Read Instructions
Review the current product-specific installation guide.
⚒
Prepare Tools
Identify required equipment, fittings and mounting hardware.
◇
Verify Requirements
Confirm mounting conditions, water supplies and power sources.
✓
Follow Local Codes
Observe applicable building, plumbing and electrical requirements.
Rough-In Coordination
What to Verify Before Installation
Product Configuration
Confirm model, finish, mounting method,
controls and supplied components.
Dimensions & Clearances
Review reach, mounting locations,
finished-wall depth and accessibility.
Water & Electrical Supply
Coordinate supply connections,
shutoff positions and power requirements.
Adjacent Construction
Check framing, waterproofing, tile,
countertops and access openings.
Concealed Plumbing
Coordinate Valve Depth and Service Access
Concealed valves and plumbing connections must
be positioned with the finished wall assembly
in mind. Confirm installation depth and access
requirements before tile or stone is installed.
- Review valve depth against finished-wall dimensions.
- Coordinate structural backing and pipe routing.
- Confirm hot and cold connection orientation.
- Provide access to serviceable components.
- Complete required testing before wall closure.
Electronic Fixture Installation
Touchless Faucet Power and Sensor Planning
Electronic faucets require coordinated plumbing
and power arrangements. Review the operating
configuration, sensor location and control-box
accessibility before final installation.
- Confirm AC, battery or specified power arrangements.
- Position control boxes for maintenance access.
- Review basin geometry and sensor detection areas.
- Protect wiring and electrical connections.
- Test activation, flow and automatic shutoff.
Shower System Installation
Plan Rainfall Showers and Mixer Controls
Shower systems may include overhead rain heads,
thermostatic controls, diverters, handheld
showers and body sprays. Coordinate the complete
assembly using the selected model documentation.
- Confirm shower-head mounting and supply routing.
- Verify valve and trim compatibility.
- Coordinate diverter outlets and body spray locations.
- Test plumbing connections before closing walls.
- Verify temperature and operating functions.
Automatic Soap Dispensers
Coordinate Reservoirs, Sensors and Mounting
Automatic soap dispensers require careful
planning of mounting positions, reservoir
accessibility, tubing routes and power
components. Review the selected product
configuration before drilling or mounting.
- Verify mounting location and basin relationship.
- Allow space for reservoir removal and refilling.
- Check tubing routing and component connections.
- Coordinate power supply and sensor placement.
- Test dispensing operation after installation.
