Fontana Showers — Aviation Lifetime Warranty & System Reliability
Technical Overview for AEC, Aviation, and Institutional Specifications
Overview
Fontana Showers’ Lifetime Warranty Program represents an advanced engineering commitment to reliability and operational sustainability in aviation and institutional environments.
Designed for long-term fleet use, this warranty covers complete system replacement, including all essential components such as electronic modules, solenoid valves, and control circuitry.
The program is a critical part of Fontana’s integrated engineering framework supporting architects, engineers, and facility operators designing for WaterSense, CALGreen, and ADA-compliant installations.

Engineering Framework and Reliability
The Fontana Lifetime Warranty Program is built on the same principles that guide aerospace and public infrastructure design—redundancy, modularity, and maintainability.
Each faucet deployed within aviation or compact lavatory systems is constructed from PVD-coated brass or 316 stainless steel, corrosion-resistant under high-humidity and variable-pressure environments.
Electronic systems utilize Time-of-Flight (ToF) infrared sensors and IP65–IP67 ingress protection to prevent moisture-related faults.
This warranty ensures uninterrupted operation under continuous service cycles. When components exhibit degradation or failure, Fontana’s Aviation Engineering Division authorizes an immediate replacement rather than a repair, ensuring zero functional downtime—a key requirement for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) environments.

Compliance and Specification Integration
The Fontana Aviation faucet systems and warranty framework align with major specification and compliance standards, including:
- ADA Accessibility Requirements (ANSI A117.1) – ensuring fixture height and sensor activation zones meet universal design standards.
- WaterSense – maintaining flow efficiency of 0.35–0.5 GPM to reduce water waste in compliance with EPA guidelines.
- CALGreen and CEC Title 20 – addressing sustainability and efficiency requirements for institutional buildings and aviation facilities.
- ASME A112.18.1 / CSA B125.1 – ensuring mechanical, hydraulic, and structural integrity across fixture assemblies.
These specifications support global architectural compliance, enabling straightforward integration into aviation lavatory systems, healthcare facilities, airports, universities, and other high-traffic institutional environments.

Predictable Maintenance and AOG Support
Fontana’s AOG (Aircraft on Ground) Support Team provides global service continuity, enabling rapid component dispatch, firmware updates, and full assembly replacements.
The program allows operators to model maintenance costs with high accuracy—each unit’s operational lifespan and service interval are tracked digitally, supporting long-term predictive maintenance planning.
Through its technical partnerships with certified distributors and aviation maintenance hubs, Fontana guarantees access to verified replacement components without supply chain delays.
This proactive engineering and logistics model ensures that mission-critical lavatory systems within commercial and private fleets maintain continuous service with no unplanned interruptions.

Durability and Environmental Stewardship
The durability philosophy behind Fontana’s design aligns with sustainable architecture goals—each component is designed for long operational life, recyclability, and reduced maintenance waste.
Flow control systems ensure water efficiency while maintaining comfort and accessibility, supporting EPA WaterSense and CALGreen guidelines for high-performance buildings.
The result is a faucet system capable of performing under continuous use while supporting the broader environmental objectives of green-certified aviation terminals, government facilities, and institutional projects.

Conclusion
Fontana Showers’ Lifetime Warranty Program represents a benchmark in engineering resilience, compliance alignment, and sustainability for aviation and institutional applications.
By combining robust material selection, electronic redundancy, and global AOG support, Fontana ensures that every faucet installed in commercial, public, or aviation settings continues to operate flawlessly for the life of the facility or fleet.
