Fontana Touchless Faucets™ | Architectural and Engineering Resource
Fontana Brio PrimeSense™ Line FS-1095GMG Gun Metal Gray Touchless Bathroom Faucet:
Commissioning Performance Verification
This commissioning-performance verification resource is intended to support
architects, plumbing engineers, electrical engineers, MEP coordinators,
commissioning agents, contractors, installers and facility managers verifying
the installed performance of the Fontana Brio PrimeSense™ Line FS-1095GMG
touchless bathroom faucet. The verification process evaluates hydraulic
connections, sensor response, solenoid-valve operation, AC or DC power,
automatic shut-off, water-stream alignment, basin splash performance,
temperature delivery, leakage, control-box accessibility and final maintenance
readiness before project turnover.
Fontana Brio PrimeSense™ Line FS-1095GMG Touchless Bathroom Faucet
The FS-1095GMG is a deck-mounted automatic faucet that should be
commissioned as an integrated hydraulic and electronic system rather
than as an isolated plumbing fixture. Final verification should confirm
that the infrared sensor, controller, solenoid valve, power source,
G1/2 water connections, mixing arrangement and basin geometry operate
together reliably under actual project conditions.

Required Commissioning Performance Verification Package
The commissioning drawing should document the complete installed faucet
system and identify each verification point used during startup and project
turnover. The drawing should show the faucet, basin, sensor zone, water
stream, G1/2 supplies, mixing valve, solenoid valve, controller, selected
power source, drain, service-access area and test points required to confirm
functional performance.
Complete Commissioning Verification Overview
Shows the entire FS-1095GMG installation with numbered test points
for water supply, sensor operation, solenoid response, power,
water-stream alignment, leakage inspection and maintenance access.
Product Identity Verification
Confirm that the installed fixture matches the specified
FS-1095GMG model and Gun Metal Gray finish before functional
commissioning begins.
Faucet Mounting Verification
Confirm the faucet body is secure, vertical and correctly aligned
with the basin. Check for rocking, loose mounting hardware or
visible movement at the countertop.
Countertop Seal Verification
Inspect the faucet base and gasket interface to confirm the fixture
is seated evenly and the countertop penetration is appropriately
protected against moisture.
G1/2 Connection Verification
Verify all G1/2 water-supply connections are correctly assembled,
compatible and fully secured before operating the faucet.
Hot-Water Supply Verification
Confirm the hot-water branch is connected to the designated inlet
and the isolation valve is fully operational and accessible.
Cold-Water Supply Verification
Verify the cold-water branch is connected correctly and that its
isolation valve can be operated independently.
Mixing Valve Verification
Confirm the under-counter mixing assembly receives the correct hot
and cold connections and supplies an appropriate mixed-water
temperature to the automatic valve.
Solenoid Valve Orientation
Verify the automatic valve is installed in the intended water-flow
direction and that inlet and outlet connections are correctly
identified.
Solenoid Valve Opening Test
Activate the infrared sensor and verify the solenoid opens promptly
and allows water to flow without hesitation or abnormal noise.
Solenoid Valve Closing Test
Remove hands from the sensing zone and verify the solenoid closes
reliably and stops water flow without continued dripping or delayed
shut-off.
Controller Power Verification
Confirm the electronic control box receives stable power through
the selected AC or DC configuration and remains operational through
repeated activation cycles.
AC Power Verification
Where AC power is used, verify the approved power connection,
adapter or transformer is secure, dry and accessible.
DC Battery Verification
Where battery operation is selected, verify all four AA batteries
are correctly installed, oriented and securely enclosed.
Sensor Power-Up Test
Verify the sensor initializes correctly after the controller is
energized and does not produce uncontrolled water flow during
startup.
Sensor Detection Test
Move hands naturally into the washing zone and confirm the faucet
activates consistently within the calibrated infrared detection
field.
Minimum Detection Test
Verify the faucet responds when hands enter the near portion of the
intended sensing zone without requiring contact with the fixture.
Maximum Detection Test
Check the outer edge of the detection field and confirm the sensor
does not extend unnecessarily into adjacent circulation or accessory
areas.
Standby False-Trigger Test
With no user present, observe the faucet and verify the basin,
backsplash or nearby reflective surfaces do not cause unintended
activation.
Left-Side Approach Test
Approach the wash zone from the left and verify reliable activation
without excessive sensor spread.
Right-Side Approach Test
Repeat the activation test from the right side and confirm the
detection field is centered on the usable handwashing zone.
Water-Stream Alignment
Verify the water stream enters the intended basin capture area and
does not strike the rim, countertop or drain in a manner that causes
excessive splash.
Stream Landing Point
Observe where the water first contacts the basin and confirm the
landing point is suitable for comfortable handwashing and splash
control.
Basin Splash Verification
Run multiple handwashing cycles and inspect the countertop, user
approach area and backsplash for unacceptable splash.
Flow Performance Verification
Confirm the faucet provides a stable and usable stream without
pulsation, excessive restriction or irregular discharge.
Temperature Verification
Check the mixed-water temperature at the faucet outlet and confirm
it is appropriate for the intended project application.
Static Leak Test
With the water supplies pressurized and the faucet inactive, inspect
all G1/2 fittings, hoses, mixing-valve connections and solenoid
connections for leakage.
Dynamic Leak Test
Operate the faucet repeatedly and inspect hydraulic connections
while water is flowing through the complete system.
Automatic Shut-Off Verification
Verify water flow terminates correctly after the user's hands leave
the detection field and that continuous activation protection
operates as intended.
Repeated-Cycle Verification
Run multiple consecutive activation and deactivation cycles to
confirm consistent sensor, controller and solenoid performance.
Control Box Access Verification
Confirm the controller remains visible and accessible after all
cabinet components, shelves and plumbing have been installed.
Solenoid Service Access
Verify the automatic valve can be isolated, disconnected and
removed without removing the basin or countertop.
Battery Replacement Access
Where DC operation is used, verify the battery enclosure can be
opened and all four batteries can be replaced from the normal
service position.
Final Maintenance Access Verification
Confirm that shutoff valves, mixing valve, solenoid, controller,
power components, connectors and mounting hardware remain accessible
for future maintenance.
Final Acceptance Condition
The faucet should be accepted only after hydraulic, sensor,
electrical, splash-control and service-access performance has been
verified and any deficiencies have been corrected.
Engineering note:
Commissioning should be performed with the final basin, countertop,
backsplash, power configuration, plumbing pressure and surrounding finishes
in place. Sensor behavior and splash performance observed before completion
of the washroom may not represent the final operating condition.
