Fontana DSFD0024GS Vessel Sink and Chrome Touchless Sensor Faucet:
Countertop Penetration & Deck-Mount Installation Detail
This deck-mount installation resource is intended to support architects, plumbing engineers,
countertop fabricators, contractors and installers coordinating the Fontana DSFD0024GS vessel
sink and chrome touchless sensor faucet combination. The drawing package communicates the
countertop penetration, faucet shank, escutcheon, sealing gasket, mounting washer, retaining
nut, flexible supply hoses, sensor / control cable routing, countertop thickness and below-counter
service clearance required for a secure and maintainable installation.
Fontana DSFD0024GS Deck-Mount Faucet Installation Assembly
The DSFD0024GS touchless faucet mounts through a single countertop penetration behind the vessel sink.
The chrome deck flange and sealing gasket sit above the countertop, while the threaded shank, mounting
washer and retaining nut secure the faucet from below. Flexible hot / cold hoses and the sensor / control
cable route through the under-counter service zone.

Required Countertop Penetration & Deck-Mount Drawing Package
Each installation drawing should use a consistent finished-countertop datum and faucet centerline.
The package should clearly identify the mounting-hole diameter, deck flange, sealing gasket,
threaded shank, washer, retaining nut, countertop thickness, flexible supply hoses,
sensor / control cable and required below-counter clearance before drilling or final mounting.
Countertop Penetration & Deck-Mount Detail
Provides the complete mounting relationship between the faucet body, deck flange,
sealing gasket, countertop, threaded shank, washer, retaining nut, supply hoses
and control cable.
Section View — Deck-Mount Penetration
Shows the faucet centered behind the vessel sink and passing through the countertop,
with the mounting hardware and serviceable connections organized below the deck.
Mounting-Hole Diameter
Identifies a typical countertop penetration of approximately Ø32–35 mm
(1.26–1.38 in.). Final size should be verified against the actual faucet
shank or installation template.
Countertop Thickness
Illustrates a nominal deck-thickness range of approximately 10–40 mm
(0.4–1.6 in.), which should allow sufficient threaded-shank engagement
for secure mounting.
Escutcheon & Sealing Gasket
Shows the chrome deck flange and sealing gasket seated on the finished
countertop to cover the penetration and help protect against water intrusion.
Threaded Shank, Washer & Retaining Nut
Illustrates the primary under-deck fastening assembly used to clamp
and stabilize the faucet against the countertop.
Plan View — Deck Footprint & Penetration
Shows the approximate Ø50 mm deck footprint centered over the mounting
hole and aligned with the vessel-sink centerline.
Below-Counter Clearance Envelope
Maintains at least 100 mm (3.9 in.) below the countertop, with
approximately 150 mm (5.9 in.) recommended where practical for hoses,
controls and maintenance.
Hose & Control-Cable Routing
Coordinates flexible hot / cold supply hoses and sensor / control wiring
so they remain free of kinks, sharp bends, cabinet conflicts and
service obstructions.
Engineering note:
All dimensions and clearances shown are nominal coordination references.
Final countertop thickness, mounting-hole diameter, shank engagement,
deck footprint, vessel position, hose routing, control-module location,
sensor cable path and below-counter service clearance should be verified
against the actual Fontana DSFD0024GS components and approved installation
documentation before countertop drilling or final installation.
Mounting, Countertop and Service Coordination Considerations
Countertop Drilling
Verify countertop material, thickness, faucet centerline and mounting-hole
diameter before drilling, especially for stone, quartz, porcelain or other
brittle surfaces.
Gasket & Flange Seating
Keep the sealing gasket centered and ensure the chrome deck flange sits
flat against the finished countertop for a clean, watertight interface.
Hardware Tightening
Tighten the washer and retaining nut evenly so the faucet is stable
without over-compressing the gasket or stressing the countertop.
Below-Counter Service Space
Maintain sufficient clearance for mounting hardware, hoses, control
components and future service without interference from cabinetry
or drain piping.
Hose & Cable Protection
Route flexible supply hoses and the control cable with smooth bends,
keeping them clear of sharp edges, pinch points and standing water.
Final Alignment
Center the faucet with the vessel sink, verify spout and sensor position,
and confirm final alignment before fully tightening the mounting hardware.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References
Project verification:
Countertop penetration and deck-mount drawings are coordination tools
and do not replace approved project submittals. The architect, plumbing
engineer, countertop fabricator, contractor and licensed installer
should verify mounting-hole size, countertop thickness, shank engagement,
gasket placement, hose and cable routing, control-module access,
service clearance, vessel alignment and locally adopted plumbing
requirements before fabrication and installation.
