Fontana FS8014ORB Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall Mounted Automatic Sensor Faucet: Concealed Valve-Kit Layout

This concealed valve-kit layout resource is intended to support architects, plumbing engineers, electrical engineers, interior designers, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating the concealed operating assembly for the Fontana FS8014ORB wall-mounted automatic sensor faucet. The layout should show the trim spout connected to the required valve kit, including the sensor faucet spout, sensor cable, solenoid valve, electronic control module, water inlet, water outlet, shutoff valve, strainer, flexible hose, power source and service access panel.

Fontana Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall Mounted Automatic Sensor Faucet

The Fontana FS8014ORB concealed sensor-faucet arrangement combines the exposed wall-mounted trim spout with a concealed valve-kit assembly located within an accessible service cavity or panel. The concealed layout coordinates electronic activation, water control, power supply and maintenance access while preserving a clean architectural appearance at the finished wall.

Required Concealed Valve-Kit Layout Drawing Package

Each drawing should use a consistent scale, line hierarchy and product identification block. The concealed layout should clearly distinguish the exposed trim spout from the hidden valve-kit components located inside the service cavity or access panel. Water flow direction, wiring paths, control components, shutoff devices and maintenance clearances should be clearly labeled so the plumbing and electrical teams can coordinate installation, testing and servicing.

Standard Concealed Valve-Kit Layout

Shows the complete concealed operating layout for the Fontana FS8014ORB sensor faucet, including the exposed spout trim, sensor cable, electronic control module, solenoid valve, water inlet, shutoff valve, strainer, flexible hose, outlet connection and power source within an accessible service panel. This drawing provides the primary coordination reference for concealed plumbing and electrical installation.

Sensor Faucet Spout

Identifies the exposed wall-mounted trim spout and its relationship to the finished wall and concealed service cavity. The spout should be shown as the visible fixture connected to the concealed valve kit through the designated outlet connection and sensor cable path.

Sensor Cable

Shows the cable linking the sensor faucet spout to the electronic control module. The drawing should indicate a protected cable route that avoids sharp edges, moisture traps, excessive heat and service conflicts while allowing connection and disconnection for maintenance.

Solenoid Valve and Control Module

Documents the electronic control module and solenoid valve that operate the faucet automatically. The control module should be shown in an accessible, protected location within the service cavity, with clear connections to the sensor cable, power source and valve.

Water Inlet and Water Outlet

Identifies the incoming building water supply and the outlet path leading from the concealed valve assembly to the faucet spout. Flow direction should be clear so installers can distinguish the inlet side from the controlled outlet serving the trim spout.

Shutoff Valve and Strainer

Shows the shutoff valve and inline strainer positioned ahead of the control valve assembly. These components should remain accessible for isolation, cleaning, troubleshooting and routine maintenance without requiring removal of permanent wall finishes.

Flexible Hose

Identifies the flexible hose connection linking concealed valve-kit components within the service zone. The hose route should avoid kinks, compression, abrasion and tight bends, and should be long enough to permit secure assembly and future service access.

Power Source and Service Access Panel

Defines the power source serving the control module and the service access panel enclosing the concealed assembly. The access opening should provide adequate space for inspection, power connection, solenoid replacement, strainer cleaning and shutoff-valve operation.

Engineering note: The concealed valve-kit arrangement shown should be treated as a typical coordination layout. Actual component spacing, service-panel size, hose lengths, power configuration and control-module location may vary according to the selected kit and project conditions. Verify all concealed assembly requirements against the approved FontanaShowers product documentation and installation instructions before closing the wall or service cavity.

Architectural, Plumbing and Electrical Coordination Considerations

Service Access

Provide an access panel large enough to reach the shutoff valve, strainer, solenoid valve, control module, hose connections and power supply without disturbing permanent wall finishes.

Power Coordination

Coordinate the control module and power source with the project electrical drawings. Provide a protected and serviceable power connection in accordance with the approved installation method.

Plumbing Flow Direction

Clearly orient the water inlet, outlet, shutoff valve, strainer and solenoid assembly so the concealed piping route follows the intended direction of flow to the spout.

Cable and Hose Protection

Route the sensor cable and flexible hose away from sharp edges, excessive heat, moving parts and overcrowded service spaces to reduce wear and support long-term reliability.

Valve Isolation and Maintenance

Position the shutoff valve and strainer so they can be operated and cleaned easily during commissioning and routine maintenance. Avoid layouts that bury these components behind inaccessible finishes.

Trim and Valve-Kit Compatibility

Verify that the concealed valve kit, spout trim, connection sizes, power arrangement and control components are compatible before releasing construction documents or starting rough-in work.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References

Project verification: Concealed valve-kit layout drawings are coordination tools and do not replace approved project submittals. The architect, plumbing engineer, electrical engineer, contractor and licensed installer should verify the sensor faucet spout, sensor cable, solenoid valve, electronic control module, water inlet, water outlet, shutoff valve, strainer, flexible hose, power source, service-access panel, mounting conditions, accessibility criteria and locally adopted codes before installation.
