Installation Height & Basin Clearance Scope

The detail should show the vertical relationship between the wall-mounted faucet outlet, finished wall, basin rim, basin interior and finished floor. Reference the faucet centerline and selected lavatory geometry when establishing the final mounting elevation. Only verified manufacturer dimensions should be included in final construction documents.

Complete Height Elevation

Show the faucet, finished wall, basin, countertop or vessel rim and finished-floor reference in one coordinated elevation.

Faucet Centerline Height

Identify the mounting centerline relative to the selected basin and finished architectural surface.

Outlet Elevation

Show the vertical position of the faucet outlet above the basin to establish usable hand-washing clearance.

Basin Rim Clearance

Maintain adequate vertical separation between the faucet outlet and basin rim for comfortable use and controlled water delivery.

Basin Interior Clearance

Show sufficient open space below the spout so hands can enter the washing area without contacting the faucet or basin.

6.93-Inch Spout Reach

Coordinate the 6.93-inch projection with the selected basin so the outlet terminates over the usable wash area.

Water Impact Point

Locate the water stream within the basin capture area rather than directly against the rim or steep rear wall.

Basin Depth

Review basin depth together with faucet elevation to maintain comfortable use and acceptable splash performance.

Rear Basin Wall

Maintain suitable separation between the water stream and rear basin surface to reduce rebound and splash.

Front Basin Clearance

Position the stream sufficiently inside the basin so water does not discharge too close to the front rim.

Hand-Wash Zone

Show the clear hand-washing area between the outlet and basin interior without interference from surrounding surfaces.

Sensor Activation Zone

Coordinate the infrared sensing field with the normal hand-wash position below the faucet outlet.

Sensor-to-Basin Clearance

Keep reflective basin surfaces outside the unintended activation zone where practical.

Finished Wall Reference

Use the completed wall surface as the reference plane when coordinating faucet projection and basin position.

Countertop Relationship

Where a countertop is present, show its elevation relative to the faucet centerline and basin rim.

Vessel Basin Height

For above-counter basins, account for the complete vessel height before establishing the faucet mounting elevation.

Undermount Basin Position

For undermount basins, coordinate the outlet with the countertop opening and usable interior wash area.

Drain Relationship

Avoid directing the water stream aggressively onto the drain fitting where it could increase splash.

Splash-Control Zone

Review faucet height, spout reach, basin depth and impact position as a coordinated splash-control condition.

User Approach Clearance

Provide unobstructed access to the faucet and basin without the spout interfering with normal user approach.

Trim Height

Show the exposed Brushed Gold trim at the coordinated elevation and aligned with the faucet connection.

Wall Connection Height

Coordinate the concealed plumbing connection at the same approved centerline as the exposed faucet assembly.

Accessibility Coordination

Coordinate fixture mounting height and basin configuration with the accessibility criteria applicable to the project.

Finished Installation

Show the final faucet-to-basin relationship after the wall, basin and surrounding finishes are complete.

Engineering note: Installation-height dimensions must not be based on estimated product measurements. Confirm the faucet mounting centerline, spout reach, basin dimensions, outlet clearance and installation requirements from the approved FontanaShowers specification sheet or project submittal before wall fabrication.

Recommended Height Coordination Sequence

1. Review Approved Submittals

Confirm the final faucet configuration, dimensions and installation requirements.

2. Select Basin

Confirm the final basin model, rim elevation, depth and installation configuration before establishing faucet height.

3. Establish Basin Elevation

Set the final basin or countertop elevation using the approved architectural drawings.

4. Set Faucet Centerline

Establish the faucet mounting elevation relative to the final basin rim.

5. Check Spout Reach

Confirm the 6.93-inch projection places the outlet over the intended basin capture area.

6. Verify Hand Clearance

Check the open washing space between the faucet outlet and basin interior.

7. Review Stream Position

Confirm the projected stream does not strike the basin rim or an unsuitable interior surface.

8. Coordinate Sensor Zone

Review the intended hand position and nearby reflective basin surfaces.

9. Install Concealed Support

Secure the concealed connection at the coordinated faucet centerline before closing the wall.

10. Verify Before Finishing

Check faucet height and basin alignment before permanent wall finishes are installed.

11. Install Faucet & Basin

Complete the exposed fixture installation according to the coordinated centerlines.

12. Commission Installation

Test sensor response, water-stream location, user clearance and splash performance.

Architectural and MEP Coordination

Basin Coordination

Coordinate faucet elevation with the final basin type, rim height and interior geometry.

Wall Coordination

Set the concealed faucet connection at the approved elevation before wall finishes are completed.

Plumbing Coordination

Coordinate supply piping and valve locations with the final faucet mounting centerline.

Countertop Coordination

Confirm the countertop elevation and thickness where they affect the basin rim or usable clearance.

Sensor Coordination

Keep the intended sensing field clear of basin surfaces that could create unintended activation.

Splash Coordination

Review faucet height, reach, basin depth and water-impact location together.

Accessibility Coordination

Coordinate the faucet and lavatory arrangement with applicable accessibility requirements for the project.

Finish Coordination

Confirm the final wall and basin elevations before exposed Brushed Gold components are installed.

Height & Clearance Components

  • Faucet centerline: Horizontal reference establishing the wall-mounted faucet elevation.
  • Spout outlet: Point where water leaves the wall-mounted faucet and enters the basin.
  • Spout reach: Horizontal projection of the faucet toward the usable basin area.
  • Basin rim: Upper edge of the lavatory used as a reference for vertical faucet clearance.
  • Basin interior: Usable wash area receiving the faucet discharge.
  • Hand-wash zone: Clear working area between the faucet outlet and basin interior.
  • Sensor zone: Area below the faucet where normal hand movement activates touchless operation.
  • Water-impact zone: Intended portion of the basin receiving the water stream.
  • Finished-wall plane: Final architectural surface used to reference faucet projection.
  • Finished-floor reference: Vertical datum used when coordinating overall fixture installation heights.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References

Project verification: This installation-height and basin-clearance resource is intended for coordination and does not replace an approved project submittal. The architect, plumbing engineer, interior designer and licensed installer should verify final faucet elevation, basin dimensions, spout reach, outlet clearance, sensor relationship, accessibility requirements and locally adopted codes before fabrication or installation.
