Fontana Combination Faucet & Soap Dispenser: ADA Installation Drawing

This ADA installation resource is intended to support architects, accessibility consultants, plumbing engineers, interior designers, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating a Fontana countertop touchless faucet and automatic soap dispenser within accessible commercial, institutional and public lavatory environments. The drawing identifies recommended mounting heights, reach ranges, knee clearance, clear floor space, front and side approaches and touchless control considerations.

Fontana Accessible Touchless Faucet and Soap Dispenser Combination

This coordinated deck-mounted fixture set combines an automatic faucet and soap dispenser for accessible lavatory installations. The illustrated layout supports comfortable reach, unobstructed knee space, clear floor area and touchless operation that does not require tight grasping, pinching or twisting.

  • Fixture configuration: Countertop touchless faucet and automatic soap dispenser
  • Installation: Deck mounted / countertop mounted
  • Application: Commercial, institutional and public lavatories
  • Maximum faucet outlet height: 1040 mm (41 in.)
  • Maximum soap-dispenser outlet height: 1040 mm (41 in.)
  • Maximum reach range: 480 mm (19 in.)
  • Minimum knee-clearance height: 860 mm (34 in.)
  • Minimum knee-clearance width: 680 mm (27 in.)
  • Minimum knee-clearance depth: 480 mm (19 in.)
  • Minimum clear floor space: 1220 × 760 mm (48 × 30 in.)
  • Approach options: Front centered or side parallel
  • Control method: Automatic touchless activation
FontanaShowers Installation Guide

Required ADA Installation Drawing Package

Each drawing should use a consistent finished-floor reference, dimension style and accessibility notation. The package should clearly identify faucet and dispenser outlet heights, operable reach limits, knee-clearance height, width and depth, clear floor space and the intended front or side approach. Touchless controls and concealed services should be coordinated so they do not reduce the required accessible clearances.

ADA Installation Overview

Shows the complete relationship between the faucet, soap dispenser, lavatory, finished floor, user approach and accessible clearances. This drawing provides an overall reference for architectural coordination and project submittals.

Mounting Heights

Illustrates the maximum 1040 mm outlet height for both the automatic faucet and soap dispenser, measured above the finished floor. Final elevations should be coordinated with the selected countertop and basin.

Front Approach Reach Range

Shows the fixture arrangement for a centered front approach and identifies the maximum 480 mm reach relationship. Controls and dispensing points should remain accessible without excessive forward reach.

Side Approach Reach Range

Illustrates a parallel side approach with the faucet and dispenser located within the recommended maximum reach. Adjacent obstructions should not interfere with wheelchair positioning or fixture use.

Knee Clearance

Defines a minimum 860 mm clear height, 680 mm clear width and 480 mm clear depth beneath the lavatory. Plumbing and electrical components should be arranged outside the required accessible space where practical.

Clear Floor Space

Identifies a minimum 1220 × 760 mm clear floor area for either front or side approach. The space should remain level, unobstructed and connected to the accessible route.

Accessible Approach

Shows centered front and parallel side approach options. The selected approach should provide sufficient maneuvering room and maintain direct access to both the faucet and soap dispenser.

Control Accessibility

Coordinates touchless activation as the preferred control method. Where manual controls are present, they should be operable with one hand and without tight grasping, pinching or twisting.

Concealed Services Coordination

Coordinates drain piping, supply lines, soap reservoirs, controllers and power components so they remain serviceable without encroaching on required knee or clear-floor-space dimensions.

Engineering note: The accessibility dimensions shown are coordination references and should not be scaled. Verify mounting heights, reach ranges, knee clearance, clear floor space, fixture controls and approach conditions against the current ADA Standards for Accessible Design, applicable local codes, approved product data and project-specific accessibility requirements.

Accessibility and Installation Coordination Considerations

Finished-Floor Reference

Measure all outlet heights and vertical clearances from the final finished-floor elevation, including flooring and setting materials.

Knee-Space Protection

Keep drain, water, electrical and soap-system components outside the required knee space or protect them as required by the project design.

Clear Approach

Maintain a continuous unobstructed path to the lavatory and preserve the designated front or side approach clear floor area.

Touchless Operation

Test both sensors after installation to confirm users can activate water and soap without excessive reach or manual force.

Fixture Positioning

Place the faucet and dispenser so both outlets are comfortably reachable while maintaining effective basin alignment and splash control.

Local-Code Review

Coordinate the final installation with the authority having jurisdiction because local accessibility and plumbing requirements may differ.

Professional Accessibility and Engineering References

Project verification: ADA installation drawings are coordination tools and do not replace approved project submittals or accessibility review. The architect, accessibility consultant, plumbing engineer, contractor and qualified installer should verify mounting heights, reach ranges, knee clearance, clear floor space, fixture controls, approach conditions, local requirements and current accessibility standards before fabrication and installation.
