Fontana FS8014ORB Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall-Mounted Faucet: Wall Rough-In Dimensions

This wall rough-in drawing resource is intended to support architects, plumbing engineers, interior designers, contractors, installers and facility managers coordinating the Fontana FS8014ORB oil rubbed bronze wall-mounted faucet before finished wall surfaces are installed. The drawing package communicates the finished-wall reference, spout centerline, required wall penetration, mounting-hole locations, concealed connection location, valve-kit connection point, finished-wall thickness range, basin and countertop references, and horizontal and vertical rough-in coordinates.

Fontana Oil Rubbed Bronze Wall-Mounted Faucet

The Fontana FS8014ORB is a solid-brass wall-mounted faucet with an oil rubbed bronze finish and a curved projecting spout. Its concealed wall connection keeps the countertop clear while supporting a clean architectural installation. The rough-in drawing is used to establish the faucet centerline, wall penetration, concealed valve-kit position and finished-wall relationship before tile, stone, wall board or decorative wall panels are installed.

  • Model: FS8014ORB
  • Installation: Wall mounted

  • Fixture type: Wall-mounted faucet spout
  • Spout reach: 108 mm, as shown
  • Spout tube diameter: Ø32 mm
  • Outlet diameter: Ø24 mm
  • Escutcheon diameter: Ø55 mm
  • Wall penetration: Ø55 mm, as shown
  • Wall thickness range: 10–35 mm
  • Connection: Coordinate with selected valve kit

Required Wall Rough-In Drawing Package

Each drawing should use a consistent scale, dimension style and product identification block. Rough-in measurements should be referenced from the final finished-wall plane, faucet centerline and top of the finished countertop. The drawing should distinguish verified product dimensions from reference dimensions that may vary according to the selected concealed valve kit, connection fitting, wall construction and basin configuration.

Standard Wall Rough-In Drawing

Shows the complete pre-installation arrangement of the Fontana FS8014ORB wall-mounted faucet, including the front elevation, side elevation, finished-wall line, spout centerline, wall penetration, concealed connection area, valve-kit location, countertop reference and basin alignment. This drawing provides the primary construction reference before the wall assembly is closed or finished.

Finished-Wall Reference

Defines the final exposed wall plane from which the faucet projection and concealed connection depth are measured. The reference should include the complete wall build-up, such as tile, stone, setting material, wall board and waterproofing, rather than the face of the structural framing alone.

Spout Centerline and Rough-In Coordinates

Identifies the horizontal and vertical faucet centerline relative to the basin and countertop. The drawing indicates a typical centerline height of approximately 170 mm (6-11/16 inches) above the countertop, together with horizontal reference coordinates of 102 mm (4 inches) on each side of the centerline.

Wall Penetration and Mounting Locations

Shows the required wall penetration for the projecting spout and identifies the mounting-hole or attachment locations associated with the escutcheon and concealed support. The drawing indicates a nominal Ø55 mm (2-5/32 inches) wall penetration. Final hole locations should be transferred from the approved mounting template or installation hardware.

Concealed Connection Location

Defines the concealed plumbing connection behind the finished wall and its relationship to the faucet centerline. The exact connection depth and fitting position may vary according to the selected valve kit, wall thickness and project piping arrangement and should therefore be confirmed before the wall is closed.

Valve-Kit Connection Point

Identifies the connection point serving the wall-mounted faucet and the recommended service area beneath the countertop. The valve kit should remain accessible for installation, pressure testing, adjustment and future maintenance. Follow the instructions supplied with the selected Fontana valve kit for final placement.

Finished-Wall Thickness Range

Shows the allowable finished-wall thickness between the concealed connection and the visible escutcheon. The dimensional drawing indicates a nominal wall thickness range of 10–35 mm (3/8–1-3/8 inches). Verify that the selected wall assembly remains within the compatible installation range.

Basin and Countertop References

Documents the relationship between the faucet centerline, top of countertop, basin rim and usable basin area. The outlet should be positioned so the water stream enters the basin without striking the backsplash, countertop or front rim. Basin dimensions should be coordinated before finalizing the vertical rough-in height.

Engineering note: The concealed connection location and valve-kit connection point shown on the dimensional drawing are reference positions only. Exact placement may vary according to the selected Fontana valve kit, wall construction, countertop thickness, basin geometry and plumbing layout. Verify all rough-in coordinates against the approved product submittal and valve-kit installation instructions before drilling or closing the wall.

Architectural and Plumbing Coordination Considerations

Finished-Wall Build-Up

Coordinate the total thickness of tile, stone, adhesive, waterproofing, wall board and other finish layers so the escutcheon seats evenly against the final finished-wall plane.

Basin Alignment

Align the faucet centerline with the basin’s usable capture area and verify that the projecting outlet provides suitable clearance from the backsplash, basin rim and countertop.

Mounting Support

Provide solid backing, blocking or a securely anchored concealed connection where required so the projecting wall-mounted faucet remains stable during operation and maintenance.

Valve-Kit Access

Locate the concealed valve kit in an accessible service area and avoid permanently enclosing adjustment points, threaded connections or components requiring future maintenance.

Wall Penetration

Confirm the required penetration diameter and centerline before cutting tile, stone or wall panels. Protect surrounding waterproofing and seal around the escutcheon where required.

Pressure Testing

Complete connection inspection and pressure testing before closing the wall. Confirm that concealed joints remain accessible until the installation has been tested and accepted.

Professional Engineering and Accessibility References

Project verification: Wall rough-in drawings are coordination tools and do not replace approved project submittals. The architect, plumbing engineer, contractor and licensed installer should verify the finished-wall plane, wall thickness, faucet centerline, wall penetration, mounting locations, concealed connection, valve-kit position, basin alignment, countertop elevation, structural support, connection compatibility, accessibility requirements and locally adopted codes before construction proceeds.
