Fontana Commercial Brushed Gold Touchless Automatic Sensor Faucet FAQ
16–32 cm Adaptive Detection, 2 GPM Flow;
AC/DC Power & 500,000-Cycle Valve Control
The Fontana FS1099 combines infrared touchless control,
brass construction, 2 GPM delivery, and commercial
AC/DC operation in a compact deck-mounted profile.
What makes the sloped outlet geometry important when selecting a basin?
The faucet measures approximately 6.69 inches high with a
4.92-inch projection and 3.93-inch outlet height. Coordinate
the deck opening with the basin centerline so the angled stream
lands inside the primary washing zone rather than against the
bowl wall or countertop edge.
Why does the sensing field need final adjustment after installation?
The engineering specification provides an adjustable detection
range of approximately 16–32 cm. Final calibration should occur
after the basin, mirror, lighting, and surrounding finishes are
installed because reflective surfaces can influence infrared
response and create unnecessary activation.
Which hydraulic checks help maintain the specified 2 GPM performance?
Flush the G1/2-inch supply before connecting the control assembly
so debris does not enter the valve. Under normal dynamic pressure,
verify approximately 2 GPM delivery, stable stream formation,
complete shutoff, and leak-free connections. Restrictions or
sediment can reduce flow and affect valve response.
When should the AC/DC system and motor valve be performance-tested?
Test both mains and DC battery operation during final commissioning.
Opening should occur in less than approximately one second and
closing within approximately two seconds. The motor valve is rated
for up to 500,000 cycles, making clean supply water and accessible
power components important for long-term commercial service.
