Fontana American Standard Deck-Mounted Sensor Faucet: Hot Cold Mixer Configuration

This hot-and-cold mixer configuration resource is intended to support architects, plumbing engineers, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating the Fontana American Standard deck-mounted automatic sensor faucet with mixed-water delivery. The technical drawing identifies the hot-water supply, cold-water supply, accessible service shutoff valves, mixing valve, mixed-water outlet, filter or strainer, sensor-controlled solenoid valve, flexible supply connection, faucet inlet, flow direction, temperature-adjustment point and required service access.

Fontana American Standard Deck-Mounted Sensor Faucet

The Fontana American Standard Sensor Faucet may be coordinated with separate hot- and cold-water supplies through an approved mixing component. In this arrangement, each supply is isolated by an accessible shutoff valve before entering the mixer, where the two water streams are combined into a single tempered or project-adjusted mixed-water outlet.

The mixed-water line then passes through the approved filtration and sensor-controlled solenoid arrangement before entering the faucet. Final mixer type, temperature setting, connection sizes, check-valve requirements, component sequence and service locations must be verified from the current product documentation and project plumbing requirements.

Required Hot Cold Mixer Configuration Drawing Package

Each drawing should use a consistent symbol set, flow-direction arrows and product-identification block. The drawing package should identify the hot-water supply, cold-water supply, separate shutoff valves, mixing component, mixed-water outlet, filter or strainer, solenoid valve, flexible supply hose, faucet inlet and aerator outlet. Hot, cold and mixed-water routes should be clearly distinguished throughout the schematic.

Hot Cold Mixer Configuration

Shows the complete hot- and cold-water arrangement from the building supplies to the faucet outlet. The drawing identifies both shutoff valves, the mixing component, mixed-water outlet, filter, solenoid valve, flexible connection, faucet inlet and aerator outlet in their operating sequence.

Hot-Water Supply Inlet

Identifies the building hot-water connection serving the mixer. The supply should be coordinated with the plumbing drawings, available temperature, pressure and approved connection requirements.

Cold-Water Supply Inlet

Identifies the building cold-water connection serving the mixer. The inlet should remain distinguishable from the hot-water supply and should be coordinated with the specified mixer orientation.

Hot-Water Shutoff Valve

Shows the accessible isolation valve installed on the hot-water supply. The valve should remain reachable for testing, service, mixer adjustment and emergency isolation.

Cold-Water Shutoff Valve

Shows the accessible isolation valve installed on the cold-water supply. Both supply shutoffs should be clearly identified and positioned for routine service access.

Mixing Valve

Identifies the component that combines the separate hot- and cold-water supplies. The mixer should be installed in the approved orientation, remain accessible for adjustment and match the selected project configuration.

Mixed-Water Outlet

Shows the single outlet leaving the mixing component after the hot and cold supplies have been combined. The mixed-water route should connect to the downstream faucet-control components without unnecessary restriction.

Temperature Adjustment

Identifies the approved adjustment point used to establish the mixed-water temperature. Final settings should be verified under flowing conditions and coordinated with project safety and user-comfort requirements.

Check-Valve Coordination

Identifies any model-specific backflow or crossflow-control components required at the hot and cold inlets. The final check-valve arrangement should be verified from the approved mixer and faucet documentation.

Filter or Strainer

Identifies the filtration component positioned downstream of the mixer or as required by the selected configuration. The filter helps reduce debris entering the solenoid valve, faucet passage and aerator.

Solenoid Valve

Identifies the electrically controlled valve that opens and closes the mixed-water path in response to the sensor-control signal. The valve should follow the approved orientation and marked flow direction.

Mixed-Water Flow Direction

Uses directional arrows to show water movement from the separate hot and cold supplies through the mixer, filter, solenoid, flexible hose, faucet body and aerator outlet.

Flexible Supply Hose

Shows the flexible connection between the downstream control assembly and faucet inlet. The hose should remain free from twisting, kinks, excessive tension and contact with sharp cabinet or basin components.

Faucet Inlet

Identifies the connection through which controlled mixed water enters the faucet body. The inlet should be securely connected to the approved flexible hose and remain accessible for inspection.

Aerator Outlet

Identifies the final mixed-water delivery point at the faucet spout. The aerator controls stream form and should remain accessible for inspection, cleaning and approved replacement.

Sensor Activation Signal

Shows the operating relationship between the infrared sensor, control system and solenoid valve. When hands enter the approved detection field, the solenoid opens the mixed-water path.

Automatic Shutoff

Explains that the solenoid valve closes after the user’s hands leave the sensing area or the model-specific operating limit is reached. Shutoff performance should be confirmed during commissioning.

Service Access Zone

Defines the accessible under-counter area required for the hot and cold shutoffs, mixer, filter, solenoid, flexible hose, control connections and power components.

Engineering note: The hot-and-cold mixer configuration drawing is a coordination resource and should not be used to establish connection sizes, final temperature settings or component positions without verification. Confirm the hot and cold supplies, shutoff locations, mixer orientation, check-valve requirements, temperature setting, filtration arrangement, solenoid flow direction and faucet connections using the current FontanaShowers specification sheet, installation instructions and approved project submittal.

Hot Cold Mixer Operating Sequence

Supply Availability

Hot and cold water remain available at their respective mixer inlets while both service shutoff valves are open.

Water Mixing

The mixer combines the two incoming supplies according to its approved adjustment and produces a single mixed-water outlet.

Standby Condition

With no hands in the sensor field, the solenoid remains closed and mixed water is retained upstream of the controlled valve.

Hand Detection

When the user’s hands enter the approved sensing area, the infrared sensor sends an activation signal to the faucet-control system.

Solenoid Opening

The control system energizes the solenoid valve, allowing mixed water to travel toward the faucet inlet.

Mixed-Water Delivery

Mixed water passes through the flexible connection and faucet body before leaving through the aerator as a controlled handwashing stream.

Hand Removal

When the user’s hands leave the detection field, the control system no longer maintains the open-valve signal.

Solenoid Closing

The solenoid returns to its closed position and stops mixed-water delivery through the faucet outlet.

Return to Standby

After water delivery stops, the faucet remains supplied with mixed water upstream of the closed solenoid and is ready for the next valid activation.

Mixer and Temperature Coordination

Supply Identification

Clearly identify the hot- and cold-water lines before connecting them to the corresponding mixer inlets.

Pressure Balance

Review the available hot- and cold-water pressures and confirm that the selected mixing component can provide stable mixed delivery under project conditions.

Temperature Setting

Adjust and verify the mixed-water temperature under flowing conditions according to the approved mixer instructions and project requirements.

Crossflow Prevention

Confirm any required check valves or backflow-control provisions to reduce unintended movement between the hot and cold supply lines.

Supply Flushing

Flush both building supplies before connecting the mixer and downstream faucet components to reduce construction debris.

Mixer Accessibility

Locate the mixer where it can be inspected, adjusted and replaced without removing the basin or permanent cabinetry.

Leak Inspection

Pressurize both supplies and inspect the shutoff valves, mixer, filter, solenoid, hoses and faucet inlet for visible leakage.

Commissioning Test

Test activation, mixed-water temperature, stream quality, automatic shutoff and service access before final acceptance.
