Under-Counter Service Access Components

Hot Shutoff Valve

The hot-water shutoff should remain clearly visible and reachable so the supply can be isolated before hose, solenoid or faucet maintenance.

Cold Shutoff Valve

The cold-water shutoff should remain accessible independently of the hot supply for safe service and troubleshooting.

Flexible Supply Hoses

Provide enough room around both 1/2-inch supply hoses for disconnection, inspection and replacement without sharp bends or excessive tension.

Sensor Cable

The sensor cable should remain accessible for quick disconnection from the controller and should be protected from abrasion, moisture and crushing.

Control Module

Mount the electronic controller where cables can be disconnected and the module can be removed without disturbing surrounding plumbing.

Solenoid Enclosure

Keep the water-resistant solenoid assembly accessible so water connections and control leads can be serviced independently.

Recommended Service Envelope & Cabinet Clearances

300 mm Minimum Service Height

Maintain approximately 300 mm (11.8 in.) of clear vertical space around the primary under-counter components.

400 mm Minimum Service Width

Provide approximately 400 mm (15.7 in.) of clear cabinet width so technicians can reach the controller, solenoid and shutoff valves.

300 mm Minimum Service Depth

Maintain approximately 300 mm (11.8 in.) of usable depth for hand and tool access during servicing.

Faucet Removal Zone

Keep the vertical area beneath and around the faucet mounting hardware open enough to loosen the retaining hardware and lift the faucet for removal.

Rear Service Clearance

Preserve at least the illustrated 100 mm (3.9 in.) rear space for hose bends, cable routing and connector access.

Maintenance Reach Area

Keep fixed shelving, drawers and unrelated equipment outside the main maintenance reach zone wherever practical.

Faucet Mounting & Removal Coordination

Mounting Hole

The drawing identifies an approximate Ø32–35 mm (1.26–1.38 in.) faucet penetration. Verify the actual component before countertop drilling.

Escutcheon / Base Cover

The chrome base cover should be removable so the faucet mounting hardware can be accessed during service.

Rubber Gasket

Inspect the sealing gasket during faucet removal and replace it if damaged, compressed unevenly or deteriorated.

Mounting Washer

Keep the washer accessible beneath the countertop so the faucet can be loosened or retightened without removing unrelated components.

Mounting Nut

The retaining nut should remain reachable with standard service tools and should not be blocked by plumbing or cabinet framing.

Vertical Removal Path

After the retaining hardware and service connections are disconnected, the faucet should be able to lift upward without obstruction.

Typical Removal & Service Sequence

1. Remove Faucet

Remove the faucet base cover, loosen the mounting hardware from below the countertop and lift the faucet vertically for removal.

2. Disconnect Supply Hoses

Close both shutoff valves, then disconnect the hot and cold supply hoses using the appropriate service tools.

3. Disconnect Sensor Cable

Disconnect the sensor cable from the controller by handling the connector rather than pulling on the wire itself.

4. Service Solenoid Valve

Isolate the water and power, disconnect the quick-connect fittings and remove or replace the water-resistant solenoid enclosure as required.

5. Service Control Module

Disconnect the controller cables, remove the module from its mounting position and install a replacement unit if needed.

6. Remove Power Module

For AC installations, unplug the adapter. For DC operation, remove or replace the 6 V battery pack as applicable.

Drain, Trap & Plumbing Service Coordination

Drain Assembly

Keep the pop-up or grid drain assembly accessible for resealing, adjustment and replacement.

Tailpiece

The vertical tailpiece should remain visible and removable without interference from electrical controls or cabinet framing.

P-Trap

Maintain direct access to the P-trap for cleaning, unclogging, leak inspection and replacement.

Building Drain Connection

Keep the trap-arm connection accessible enough to inspect and adjust the waste connection where required.

Plumbing Isolation

Use accessible hot and cold shutoff valves so faucet and solenoid service can be completed without shutting down unrelated fixtures.

Leak Inspection

Keep supply and drain connections visible enough for routine inspection during commissioning and future maintenance.

Hose Routing & Cable Management

Hose Bend Radius

Route flexible hoses with smooth curves and sufficient bend radius to prevent kinking and stress at fittings.

Service Slack

Provide enough hose and cable slack to permit component removal without placing tension on connections.

Cable Separation

Keep sensor and power cables separated from sharp fittings, heat sources and potential leak points wherever practical.

Connector Visibility

Keep electrical connectors visible and reachable so they can be disconnected quickly during maintenance.

Avoid Pinching

Do not route hoses or cables where cabinet doors, drawers, fasteners or removable panels can pinch or crush them.

Dry Routing Zone

Keep controller and power cables away from standing water and directly below leak-prone fittings whenever practical.

Service & Maintenance Best Practices

Isolate Water Before Service

Close both hot and cold shutoff valves before disconnecting hoses, the solenoid valve or faucet components.

Disconnect Power

Unplug the AC adapter or disconnect the DC battery source before servicing the controller or solenoid assembly.

Maintain Cabinet Clearance

Do not use the recommended maintenance envelope for permanent storage or fixed accessories.

Inspect Hose Condition

Check flexible hoses periodically for abrasion, corrosion, kinking or signs of leakage.

Check Electrical Components

Inspect controller connections, sensor wiring and the power module for secure connections and moisture exposure.

Test After Service

After reassembly, restore water and power and verify touchless activation, automatic shutoff and leak-free operation.

Final Serviceability Verification

Faucet Access

Confirm the faucet mounting nut and washer can be reached from below and the faucet has a clear removal path.

Supply Access

Verify both shutoff valves and flexible hoses can be inspected and disconnected without removing cabinet parts.

Control Access

Confirm the controller and solenoid valve remain visible, reachable and removable.

Power Access

Ensure the AC adapter or DC battery pack can be serviced without disturbing plumbing components.

Drain Access

Verify the drain assembly, tailpiece and P-trap remain accessible for cleaning and leak inspection.

Clear Service Envelope

Confirm the final cabinet arrangement preserves the recommended service area and does not obstruct future maintenance.
