Required Countertop Hole & Clearance Drawing Package

The countertop drawing should show the faucet mounting centerline relative to the lavatory basin, backsplash, finished counter edge and adjacent fixtures. The mounting-hole diameter, faucet-base footprint, countertop thickness, basin cutout, minimum edge clearances and under-counter access zone should be documented before fabrication. Final dimensions should always be confirmed against the approved FontanaShowers submittal.

Complete Countertop Hole & Clearance Drawing

Shows the complete countertop plan and section relationship between the FS-1095GMG faucet, mounting hole, faucet base, basin opening, backsplash, finished countertop edges and concealed under-counter equipment zone.

Faucet Mounting Centerline

Establish the faucet mounting centerline before the countertop is drilled. The centerline should position the water outlet within the basin capture area while providing sufficient clearance from the backsplash and basin edge.

Single Mounting Hole

Show the circular countertop opening required for the threaded faucet shank, sensor cable and associated internal connections. Verify the final diameter against the approved installation submittal before drilling or CNC fabrication.

Hole Center Mark

The center of the mounting hole should be dimensioned from permanent reference points such as the finished backsplash face, countertop front edge or basin centerline rather than temporary construction features.

Faucet-Base Footprint

Show the full footprint of the faucet base around the mounting hole. The base should bear completely on the finished countertop and should not overlap the basin opening, countertop seam or unsupported area.

Basin Edge Clearance

Maintain adequate horizontal separation between the mounting-hole centerline and the basin edge so the faucet base remains fully supported and the water stream enters the usable basin area.

Basin Cutout Clearance

Coordinate the faucet hole with the actual basin cutout rather than only the visible bowl opening. Undermount basin flanges and support rails can extend significantly beyond the finished opening.

Backsplash Clearance

Provide sufficient space behind the faucet body for installation, cleaning and maintenance. The faucet should not contact the backsplash or restrict installation access to the mounting hardware.

Front Counter-Edge Clearance

The faucet centerline should remain far enough from the front countertop edge to preserve structural integrity while maintaining the desired relationship between the outlet and basin.

Side Counter-Edge Clearance

Where the faucet is located near an end panel or narrow vanity, provide sufficient lateral material around the mounting hole to prevent cracking and maintain access to the underside mounting nut.

Countertop Seam Clearance

Do not position the mounting hole directly through a stone seam, lamination joint or unsupported countertop transition unless specifically approved by the countertop fabricator.

Countertop Thickness

Show the complete finished deck build-up including stone, solid surface, substrate, reinforcement and any laminated layers. The mounting stem must provide adequate engagement below the finished deck.

Undermount Basin Flange

The concealed basin flange should be shown on the countertop plan because it can interfere with the faucet washer, lock nut, hoses or sensor cable even when it is not visible from above.

Basin Mounting Clips

Coordinate the faucet mounting zone with undermount sink clips, brackets and adhesive anchors so they do not obstruct the faucet shank or underside retaining hardware.

Countertop Reinforcement

Structural rails, plywood reinforcement and stone-support brackets should not pass through the required faucet mounting zone or prevent access to the lock nut.

Under-Counter Mounting Envelope

Show the area immediately below the mounting hole required for the threaded stem, mounting washer, lock nut, flexible hoses and sensor cable.

Under-Counter Equipment Clearance

Confirm that the basin, drain assembly, cabinet rails and shelves do not occupy the space required by the faucet hoses, valve assembly, controller and electrical connections.

Sensor Cable Drop Zone

Reserve an unobstructed path below the faucet for the sensor cable. The cable should not be compressed between the basin, countertop substrate or structural reinforcement.

Water-Hose Drop Zone

Provide a clear route beneath the faucet for the hot- and cold-water connections without forcing the braided hoses around sharp sink edges or structural supports.

Service Tool Clearance

Provide sufficient space around the underside mounting nut for hand tightening, inspection and future removal of the faucet without dismantling the lavatory.

Adjacent Fixture Clearance

Coordinate the faucet with soap dispensers, accessory holes and other deck-mounted components so base plates do not overlap and concealed components remain independently serviceable.

Finished Countertop Layout

The final shop drawing should show the complete coordinated countertop after the basin, faucet, accessories, backsplash, reinforcement and cabinet construction have been confirmed.

Engineering note: Do not determine the faucet-hole location from the visible basin opening alone. Coordinate the mounting centerline with the actual basin flange, under-counter brackets, countertop reinforcement, cabinet framing, backsplash and service requirements before drilling or CNC fabrication.

Countertop Fabrication Coordination

1. Confirm Final Basin Model

Verify the exact basin model and manufacturer cutout before locating the faucet hole. Do not use generic basin dimensions for final fabrication.

2. Establish Basin Centerline

Transfer the approved basin centerline to the countertop fabrication drawing and use it as the primary horizontal reference for faucet placement where appropriate.

3. Establish Faucet Centerline

Dimension the faucet centerline from permanent finished surfaces and verify the water outlet will project into the desired basin capture area.

4. Check Hidden Basin Components

Review the undermount flange, clips, rails and adhesive anchors before confirming the final mounting-hole location.

5. Review Countertop Reinforcement

Confirm that support rails, steel brackets and plywood build-up do not interfere with the faucet mounting stem or retaining hardware.

6. Verify Underside Access

Ensure the installer can reach the mounting washer, lock nut, hoses and sensor cable from beneath the finished countertop.

7. Drill or CNC the Opening

Prepare the faucet opening only after the final approved dimensions have been transferred to the countertop shop drawings.

8. Finish and Inspect the Hole

Remove sharp edges, chips or irregularities that could damage the faucet gasket, hoses or sensor cable during installation.

Clearance Coordination Considerations

Basin Clearance

Provide sufficient distance from the basin opening to fully support the faucet base and allow the water stream to enter the basin without excessive splash.

Backsplash Clearance

Maintain sufficient space behind the faucet for cleaning, installation and final alignment without contact with the backsplash.

Accessory Clearance

Coordinate soap dispensers and other deck accessories so their mounting hardware does not conflict below the countertop.

Cabinet Clearance

Keep cabinet rails, drawers and partitions outside the faucet mounting and service zone.

Drain Clearance

Coordinate the faucet hoses and electronic wiring with the lavatory drain and trap so all systems remain independently accessible.

Electronic Component Clearance

Reserve sufficient dry space below the countertop for the control box, motorized valve and power components required by the touchless faucet system.

Countertop Hole & Clearance Installation Notes

  • Use approved dimensions: Verify the final mounting-hole diameter against the approved FontanaShowers installation submittal before countertop fabrication.
  • Flat mounting surface: The faucet base should seat on a flat, level and structurally stable finished countertop.
  • Avoid countertop seams: Do not place the faucet opening directly over a stone seam or unsupported joint without fabricator approval.
  • Verify basin flange: Check the hidden undermount flange and mounting clips before finalizing the faucet-hole location.
  • Maintain underside access: The installer must be able to reach the mounting washer and lock nut from below the deck.
  • Protect cables and hoses: Remove sharp edges from the mounting opening and maintain clear routing paths below the faucet.
  • Coordinate adjacent fixtures: Prevent overlap between faucet, soap-dispenser and accessory mounting hardware.
  • Confirm service access: Do not allow drawers, shelves or cabinet framing to block the faucet mounting zone.
  • Verify basin alignment: Check the final water-stream location before releasing the countertop for production.
