model-specific requirements and verify all final mounting dimensions,
connections, power arrangements and sensor settings using the selected
faucet's approved documentation.
Installation Guide
Provides an overall installation framework for chrome
wall-mounted sensor faucets, including preparation, rough-in,
mounting, plumbing connections, power coordination, sensor
testing and final commissioning.
Pre-Installation Review
Confirm the selected faucet model, supplied components,
installation documentation, basin configuration, wall
construction and required plumbing and electrical services
before installation begins.
Component Verification
Verify the faucet body, wall flange, mounting hardware,
concealed valves, hoses, control components, sensor parts
and model-specific power equipment before beginning work.
Wall Opening Preparation
Prepare the required wall opening according to the selected
model documentation while maintaining the correct relationship
to the finished-wall surface and concealed rough-in components.
Wall Rough-In Installation
Coordinate concealed supply piping, mounting hardware,
control components, wiring routes and required connections
before tile, stone or permanent wall finishes are completed.
Mounting Support
Provide suitable backing, blocking or structural support
within the wall assembly according to the selected faucet
configuration and mounting method.
Finished-Wall Reference
Use the completed wall surface as the principal installation
reference for faucet projection, flange seating, mounting
position and concealed rough-in depth.
Mounting Height
Set the faucet mounting height according to the selected
model documentation and coordinate its vertical relationship
with the finished countertop, basin rim and handwashing area.
Faucet Body Installation
Position and secure the faucet body to the prepared wall
assembly using the approved mounting arrangement while
maintaining correct alignment and stable structural support.
Wall-Flange Installation
Seat the exposed wall flange correctly against the finished
surface while protecting tile, stone, wall panels and
surrounding finishes during installation.
Basin Alignment
Align the faucet centerline and outlet with the selected
basin so the water stream enters the intended capture area
and supports comfortable hands-free operation.
Spout Reach Verification
Confirm the installed spout projection directs water into
the usable basin area without discharging onto the rear
ledge, countertop or front rim.
Water Supply Connection
Connect the required supply piping, valves, hoses and
concealed plumbing components according to the selected
model instructions and applicable project requirements.
Power Connection
Install the specified transformer, battery pack, controller
or other power arrangement according to the selected model
and applicable electrical requirements.
Sensor Positioning
Confirm the infrared sensor is correctly positioned relative
to the intended hand-detection area, basin profile and nearby
reflective surfaces that could influence automatic activation.
Concealed Component Installation
Position valves, control boxes, transformers, battery packs,
hoses and other model-specific operating components within
the designated concealed service area.
Service Access
Preserve practical access to concealed plumbing, electrical
and control components for inspection, adjustment, battery
replacement and future maintenance.
Sensor Testing
After completing water and power connections, test automatic
activation and shutoff throughout the intended detection
area and confirm reliable touchless operation.
Final Commissioning
Confirm mounting security, water delivery, sensor response,
power operation, basin alignment, service access and
model-specific requirements before placing the faucet into service.
Installation note:
Category-level installation guidance does not establish universal
requirements for every faucet within the category. Final wall
openings, mounting depth, spout position, concealed clearances,
water connections, sensor configuration, power requirements and
commissioning procedures must be verified using the approved
specification sheet and installation instructions for the selected model.
Category Installation Workflow
Select the Faucet
Choose the wall-mounted sensor faucet according to design
profile, projection, sensor arrangement, power source and
project application.
Review Documentation
Obtain the selected model's specification sheet, installation
instructions, dimension drawing and available project-submittal
information before installation.
Prepare the Rough-In
Confirm the wall opening, mounting support, water supply,
power provisions and concealed service area before permanent
finishes restrict access.
Mount the Faucet
Set the finished-wall reference, faucet centerline and
mounting height, then secure the faucet according to the
selected model's approved installation method.
Connect Services
Complete supply piping, valves, hoses, controllers and
required power connections while maintaining access to
serviceable components.
Check Sensor Clearance
Confirm that the basin, backsplash, mirror and adjacent
accessories do not obstruct or interfere with the intended
infrared detection field.
Test and Commission
Open the water supply, energize the required power source
and test activation, shutoff, water delivery and sensor
response before completing installation.
Complete Verification
Confirm mounting security, wall conditions, basin alignment,
connections, sensor performance, service access and applicable
requirements before project handover.
Installation and MEP Coordination
Wall Construction
Coordinate framing, blocking, waterproofing, tile, stone,
wall panels and other finish materials affecting mounting
support, wall openings and final installation depth.
Plumbing Installation
Confirm supply routing, shutoff locations, valve orientation,
pressure conditions and service access before connecting
the selected faucet.
Electrical Installation
Coordinate transformers, battery packs, receptacles, control
boxes and cable routes according to the selected model's
power configuration.
Basin Compatibility
Verify that the selected basin geometry is compatible with
the installed faucet projection, outlet position, water
stream and sensor location.
