Commercial-Grade Touchless Faucets — IR Sensor Control • Pressure-Managed Flow • Serviceable Solenoid • Spec-Grade Finishes
FontanaTouchlessFaucets® | Commercial Sensor Faucet Collection
Commercial-Grade Touchless Faucets for High-Traffic Restrooms
Fontana commercial touchless faucets are specified for consistent sensor performance, predictable runtime shutoff behavior,
and service access that supports facility maintenance programs. For AEC coordination, verify finished-wall or deck conditions,
spout reach, outlet geometry for splash control, and a documented access plan for solenoid, strainer, and power module.

Design & Technical Visuals
Architect-Focused Advantages
Sensor Stability in Real Spaces
Specify IR sensing that remains stable under bright ambient light and reflective basins.
Require false-trigger filtering and consistent activation distance to avoid nuisance cycling.
Controlled Runtime & Shutoff
Timed safety shutoff reduces water waste and helps mitigate overflow risk.
Coordinate runtime settings with handwash patterns in high-traffic facilities.
Flow Management
Pressure-managed or regulated flow supports predictable user experience across varying supply conditions.
Define target flow rate and stream pattern for splash control and comfort.
Splash Control by Geometry
Match spout projection and outlet angle to basin depth and drain location.
Define an impact zone that minimizes backsplash at typical hand positions.
Service Access Strategy
Document how solenoid, strainer, and power modules are accessed without damaging finished surfaces.
Plan access panels or chase reach early in the plumbing details.
Commercial Duty Hardware
For public venues, require vandal-resistant outlets and secure mounting.
Standardize models and spares to reduce downtime and lifecycle cost.
Material Rationale: Commercial Touchless Faucet Assemblies
What the Assembly Provides
- Durable exterior: finish systems suited to repeated disinfecting cycles.
- Predictable performance: stable sensing, controlled runtime, and consistent flow.
- Maintainability: serviceable internal components for facility programs.
How to Specify
- Coordinate reach, clearance, and mounting plane (deck or wall) with basin geometry.
- Define service access approach for solenoid, filters/strainers, and power modules.
- Require vandal-resistant outlets and document spares strategy for large sites.
Applications in High-Traffic Buildings
Airports & Transit
High duty-cycle washrooms benefit from stable sensing and fast maintenance access planning.
Healthcare
Touchless activation reduces contact points and supports infection control workflows.
Hospitality
Coordinated finishes and quiet, predictable operation support guest-facing performance.
Retail & Mixed-Use
Consistent shutoff behavior and serviceable internals reduce callbacks and downtime.
Education & Civic
Vandal-resistant outlets and secure mounting are critical for heavy public use.
Corporate Campuses
Standardized models simplify spares strategy across multi-building programs.
