Fontana FS8014ORB Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall-Mounted Automatic Sensor Faucet: Water-Flow and Solenoid Schematic

This water-flow and solenoid schematic is intended to support architects, plumbing engineers, electrical engineers, interior designers, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating the operational water path for the Fontana FS8014ORB wall-mounted automatic sensor faucet configuration. The drawing package identifies the building water supply, isolation valve, inlet strainer, solenoid valve, flexible supply tube, wall-mounted faucet, vandal-resistant aerator and final basin discharge point.

Fontana Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall-Mounted Automatic Sensor Faucet

The Fontana FS8014ORB wall-mounted faucet can be coordinated with a compatible concealed sensor valve kit to provide automatic water activation. Water enters from the building supply, passes through service and filtration components, flows through the electronically controlled solenoid valve and flexible outlet tube, and is discharged through the wall-mounted spout and aerator into the lavatory basin.

Required Water-Flow and Solenoid Schematic Package

Each schematic should use a consistent line hierarchy, component numbering system and product-identification block. The direction of water flow should be shown from the building supply toward the faucet outlet and basin. Electrical control relationships should be distinguished from water piping so installers can identify the hydraulic path, sensor-control path and serviceable components without confusion.

Complete Operational Water Path

Shows the full operating sequence from the building water supply through the isolation valve, inlet strainer, solenoid valve and flexible supply tube to the wall-mounted faucet. The schematic continues through the vandal-resistant aerator and identifies the final water-discharge point within the lavatory basin.

Building Water Supply

Identifies the incoming water connection provided by the building plumbing system. The schematic should show the direction of flow toward the faucet assembly and identify whether the selected valve kit is configured for cold water or a separate tempered-water supply.

Isolation Valve

Shows the accessible service shutoff installed upstream of the strainer and solenoid valve. The isolation valve allows the faucet assembly to be serviced, cleaned or replaced without shutting down the complete restroom or building water-supply branch.

Inlet Strainer

Identifies the inline strainer positioned ahead of the solenoid valve. The strainer captures construction debris, sediment and other particles that could obstruct the valve, reduce flow or interfere with reliable automatic operation.

Solenoid Valve

Documents the electronically controlled valve that opens when the sensor and control module authorize water flow. The solenoid valve should be installed in the correct flow direction and remain accessible for testing, cleaning and replacement.

Flexible Supply Tube

Shows the flexible connection between the controlled valve outlet and the wall-mounted faucet. The supply tube should be routed without kinks, sharp bends, abrasion or compression and should remain accessible within the designated service area.

Wall-Mounted Faucet and Aerator

Identifies the exposed oil rubbed bronze faucet trim and the vandal-resistant aerator at the outlet. The aerator should be securely installed, aligned with the basin and accessible with the appropriate service tool for cleaning or replacement.

Basin Discharge Point

Defines the point at which water leaves the aerator and enters the lavatory. The faucet centerline, outlet angle and basin position should be coordinated so the stream falls within the usable bowl area without striking the backsplash, countertop or front rim.

Engineering note: The illustrated water path is a typical operational schematic. Actual valve components, hose lengths, connection fittings, mixing arrangements and power configuration may vary according to the selected sensor valve kit. Flush the building supply line before connecting the faucet and verify all components against the approved FontanaShowers installation instructions and project submittal package.

Plumbing, Electrical and Operational Coordination Considerations

Flow Direction

Install the strainer, solenoid valve and related fittings in the manufacturer-indicated flow direction from the building supply toward the faucet outlet.

Service Isolation

Keep the shutoff valve accessible so maintenance personnel can isolate the faucet without interrupting water service to adjacent fixtures.

Strainer Maintenance

Provide sufficient clearance to remove and clean the strainer screen. Inspect the strainer after initial flushing and during routine preventive maintenance.

Solenoid Access

Locate the solenoid valve within an approved service cavity or access panel where wiring, fittings and the valve body can be inspected or replaced.

Flexible-Tube Routing

Route the flexible tube away from sharp framing edges, electrical equipment and overcrowded connection areas that could damage or restrict the hose.

Basin Alignment

Align the faucet and aerator with the basin centerline and confirm the discharge point after final wall finishes, countertop and lavatory are installed.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References

Project verification: Water-flow and solenoid schematics are operational coordination tools and do not replace approved project submittals. The architect, plumbing engineer, electrical engineer, contractor and licensed installer should verify the building water supply, isolation valve, inlet strainer, solenoid valve, flexible supply tube, wall-mounted faucet, aerator, basin discharge point, flow direction, connection compatibility, service access, accessibility requirements and locally adopted codes before installation and commissioning.
