Fontana FS8014ORB Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall-Mounted Automatic Sensor Faucet: Cold-Water Configuration

This cold-water-configuration resource is intended to support architects, plumbing engineers, electrical engineers, interior designers, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating a dedicated cold-water-only installation for the Fontana FS8014ORB wall-mounted automatic sensor faucet. The drawing package should identify the cold-water supply, shutoff valve, strainer, solenoid valve, control module, faucet connection, supply direction, service access and required connection sizes.

Fontana Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall-Mounted Automatic Sensor Faucet

The Fontana FS8014ORB wall-mounted faucet may be coordinated with a dedicated cold-water valve-kit arrangement in which the incoming cold water supply passes through an accessible shutoff valve, inline strainer and solenoid valve before serving the faucet through a flexible supply connection. The control module and power supply should be located within an accessible service zone so the system can be commissioned, maintained and serviced without disturbing finished surfaces.

  • Model: FS8014ORB
  • Installation: Wall mounted with concealed cold-water valve kit
  • Finish: Oil rubbed bronze
  • Material: Solid brass trim spout
  • Fixture type: Automatic sensor faucet
  • Water supply: Dedicated cold-water line
  • Service valve: 1/2-inch shutoff valve
  • Strainer: Inline Y-type strainer
  • Control valve: 1/2-inch solenoid valve
  • Flexible hose: 1/2-inch supply hose
  • Faucet connection: 1/2-inch NPT connection, as coordinated
  • Service requirement: Accessible control module and service opening required

Required Cold-Water Configuration Drawing Package

Each drawing should use a consistent line hierarchy, component numbering system and product-identification block. The cold-water-only configuration should clearly indicate the operational sequence from the dedicated building cold-water supply to the faucet trim, with separate notation for electrical control connections, service-access components and the required connection sizes. Flow direction should be clearly shown so installers can coordinate the system without ambiguity.

Typical Cold-Water Configuration

Shows the complete cold-water-only arrangement serving the Fontana FS8014ORB automatic sensor faucet. The drawing should illustrate the cold-water supply entering the shutoff valve, passing through the strainer and solenoid valve, continuing through the flexible supply hose to the faucet connection, and linking the control module to the solenoid and power source within an accessible service area.

Cold-Water Supply

Identifies the dedicated building cold-water supply line serving the faucet assembly. The drawing should show the supply entering the concealed valve-kit layout from the upstream branch and moving in the intended direction toward the service valve and downstream operating components.

Shutoff Valve and Strainer

Documents the service shutoff valve followed by the inline strainer. The shutoff valve allows local isolation for maintenance, while the strainer helps protect the solenoid valve and faucet from debris, scale and construction residue. Both components should remain accessible for operation and cleaning.

Solenoid Valve

Shows the electrically controlled solenoid valve located downstream of the strainer. The solenoid opens when activated by the control module and should be installed in the correct flow direction. Its position should allow service access for inspection, replacement and connection testing.

Control Module

Identifies the electronic control module that receives the sensor signal and actuates the solenoid valve. The module should be mounted in a dry, protected and accessible service zone with clear routing to the sensor, solenoid and power supply. Electrical connections should be shown distinctly from the water path.

Faucet Connection and Supply Direction

Defines the flexible supply hose and final faucet connection serving the wall-mounted spout trim. The drawing should identify the direction of supply flow from the building connection toward the faucet inlet and should show the final connection size used at the faucet body or spout assembly.

Service Access

Shows the required access area or service panel for the concealed valve kit. The opening should be large enough to reach the shutoff valve, strainer, solenoid, flexible hose, control module and power connection for routine maintenance, troubleshooting and replacement.

Connection Sizes

Summarizes the principal connection sizes used within the cold-water layout. The drawing should identify water-service connections, strainer and solenoid sizes, flexible-hose connections and the faucet inlet designation. Connection sizes should be confirmed against the approved valve kit and current product documentation before rough-in.

Engineering note: The cold-water-only arrangement shown is a typical coordination layout. Actual valve-kit components, service-opening size, hose length, electrical supply arrangement and exact connection designations may vary according to the selected FontanaShowers control package. Flush the supply line before final connection and verify all component compatibility against the approved product submittal and installation instructions.

Plumbing, Electrical and Service Coordination Considerations

Cold-Water Source Verification

Confirm that the designated cold-water branch is the correct supply for the faucet and that local code requirements for temperature and fixture application are satisfied before installation.

Local Isolation

Locate the shutoff valve where it can be reached easily through the service opening so maintenance staff can isolate the faucet without shutting down adjacent fixtures.

Strainer Access

Provide adequate clearance to remove and clean the strainer. Inspect the strainer after startup and during preventive maintenance to reduce the risk of low flow or valve fouling.

Control-Module Placement

Mount the control module in a dry and protected service zone with clear access for wiring, inspection and replacement. Keep cables and power connections separated from water-service interference.

Flexible-Hose Routing

Route the hose without tight bends, kinks or abrasion points. Maintain sufficient slack for installation and future servicing while keeping the hose clear of sharp framing edges and electrical devices.

Connection-Size Confirmation

Verify shutoff-valve, strainer, solenoid, hose and faucet connection sizes before procurement and rough-in. Use the approved valve-kit submittal as the governing reference for final connection details.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References

Project verification: Cold-water-configuration drawings are coordination tools and do not replace approved project submittals. The architect, plumbing engineer, electrical engineer, contractor and licensed installer should verify the cold-water supply, shutoff valve, strainer, solenoid valve, control module, faucet connection, supply direction, service access, connection sizes, power arrangement, accessibility requirements and locally adopted codes before installation and commissioning.
