Fontana DSFD0024GS Vessel Sink and Chrome Touchless Sensor Faucet:
Operating Pressure / Hydraulic Performance Diagram
This hydraulic-performance resource is intended to support plumbing
engineers, contractors, installers, specifiers and maintenance personnel
coordinating the Fontana DSFD0024GS vessel sink and chrome touchless
sensor faucet combination. The drawing package communicates the
recommended operating-pressure range, rated flow performance, hot and
cold supply connections, filter / strainer protection, sensor-controlled
solenoid operation, internal water passage and aerated outlet performance.
Fontana DSFD0024GS Hydraulic Performance & Water-Flow System
The DSFD0024GS touchless faucet receives hot and cold water
through separate 1/2-inch supply connections. Water passes
through the supply-control components, recommended filtration
and sensor-controlled solenoid system before traveling through
the faucet's internal passage to the aerated outlet. The
technical drawing also provides working-pressure and rated-flow
references for system coordination.

Required Hydraulic Performance Drawing Package
Each hydraulic coordination drawing should clearly identify the
operating-pressure range, rated-flow reference, hot and cold supply
connections, recommended strainer / filter, solenoid valve, control
module, internal water path and outlet configuration. Actual system
performance should be checked under installed operating conditions.
Operating Pressure / Hydraulic Performance Diagram
Provides the complete hydraulic relationship between the
hot and cold supplies, filter / strainer, solenoid valve,
electronic controller, internal faucet passage and aerated
outlet.
System Flow Schematic
Shows the faucet and vessel-sink installation together with
the principal dimensional references, including faucet
height, spout reach, basin size and countertop thickness.
Operating Pressure Range
Identifies a recommended operating-pressure range of
0.5–7.0 KGS/cm², approximately 10–125 psi, for hydraulic
coordination of the installed faucet system.
Flow Performance Chart
Illustrates the relationship between inlet pressure and
faucet flow, with a rated reference of approximately
1.5 GPM (5.7 L/min.) at 60 psi (4.2 KGS/cm²).
Hot & Cold Supply Connections
Shows separate 1/2-inch hot and cold water connections
feeding the touchless valve assembly beneath the countertop.
Filter / Strainer Protection
Identifies a recommended upstream filter or strainer to
reduce debris entering the solenoid valve and internal
faucet passages.
Sensor-Controlled Solenoid Valve
Shows the electrically controlled valve that opens or closes
the water path in response to commands from the electronic
controller.
Internal Water Path
Illustrates water moving from the solenoid assembly into
the faucet body, upward through the internal passage and
through the curved spout toward the outlet.
Aerated Outlet Performance
Identifies the aerated discharge point at the end of the
spout and its relationship to the rated faucet flow shown
in the performance chart.
Engineering note:
The pressure, flow, dimensions and component relationships shown
are technical coordination references based on the illustrated
DSFD0024GS configuration. Actual site performance may vary with
available dynamic pressure, supply piping, filtration condition,
aerator configuration and installation conditions. Final hydraulic
performance should be verified during commissioning using the
actual installed faucet system.
Hydraulic, Supply and Flow Coordination Considerations
Dynamic Supply Pressure
Measure water pressure under flowing conditions whenever
practical, since static pressure alone may not represent
actual faucet performance during operation.
Hot & Cold Inlets
Confirm both 1/2-inch supply connections are correctly
identified, fully open and free from restrictions before
evaluating faucet flow.
Strainer Condition
Keep the recommended filter or strainer clean because
accumulated debris can reduce flow and affect solenoid
performance.
Solenoid Operation
Verify the solenoid opens fully when activated and closes
reliably when the controller ends the water-flow command.
Internal Passage
Maintain clean internal water passages and avoid supply-line
debris that could restrict the flow path between the valve
assembly and faucet outlet.
Aerator Condition
Check the outlet aerator if flow decreases, as sediment or
scale accumulation at the outlet can affect actual discharge
performance.
Key Components & Water Path
1. Hot & Cold Supply
Separate hot and cold supply feeds provide water to the
touchless faucet system through the illustrated 1/2-inch
connections.
2. Filter / Strainer
A recommended upstream filter or strainer helps protect the
solenoid valve and downstream water passages from debris.
3. Solenoid Valve
The sensor-controlled solenoid provides the primary opening
and closing action for the water path.
4. Control Module
The electronic controller receives the infrared sensor
signal and commands the solenoid valve during touchless
operation.
5. Faucet Spout
Controlled water travels through the internal faucet passage
and exits through the aerated spout outlet into the vessel
basin.
Power System
The control system supports the AC 110 V or DC 6 V power
arrangements shown in the DSFD0024GS technical package.
Hydraulic Performance & Commissioning Checks
Pressure Verification
Confirm installed operating pressure falls within the
indicated working range and verify pressure during actual
water flow where possible.
Flow Verification
Compare actual faucet discharge with the technical
performance reference while accounting for available
pressure, aerator condition and supply restrictions.
Supply-Line Check
Confirm hot and cold hoses are open, correctly connected
and free of kinks or other restrictions that could reduce
available flow.
Filter Inspection
Inspect and clean upstream strainers before diagnosing low
flow as a controller, valve or faucet-body problem.
Touchless Flow Test
Activate the faucet through the sensor and confirm stable
water delivery, proper solenoid response and automatic
shutoff.
Leak Inspection
Inspect supply hoses, valve connections and faucet inlet
points while the system is pressurized and operating.
Performance Notes
Operating Pressure
Reference operating-pressure range:
0.5–7.0 KGS/cm², approximately 10–125 psi.
Rated Flow
The drawing identifies approximately 1.5 GPM
(5.7 L/min.) at 60 psi (4.2 KGS/cm²) as the rated
performance reference.
Solenoid Protection
Use suitable filtration or strainers to reduce debris
reaching the sensor-controlled solenoid valve.
Inlet Connections
The illustrated system uses 1/2-inch hot and cold
supply-hose connections.
Power Compatibility
The control system is shown supporting AC 110 V and DC 6 V
power configurations.
Actual Flow
Actual outlet flow may vary according to site water pressure,
aerator type, filtration condition and installed supply
configuration.

Project verification:
Hydraulic performance drawings are technical coordination tools and
do not replace approved project submittals or manufacturer instructions.
The architect, plumbing engineer, contractor and licensed installer
should verify available dynamic water pressure, hot and cold inlet
connections, filtration, solenoid operation, controller configuration,
aerator type, outlet flow, supply piping and locally adopted plumbing
requirements before final installation and commissioning.
