I have a window behind my sink. How much clearance do I need to use the lever that controls the flow and the temperature?

very little the lever is on the side of the faucet, and when pushed back only goes back a few inches in a radius around that center pivot point. Quite honestly with the autoflow we almost never use the handle itself. Flow is also better with the auto feature than through the handle. I wouldn't say it's just decorative, but, it kind of is IMHO.

You won't have any problem at all. To turn the water on, you push the handle to the side. To control the temperature, you move it forward (for cold) and backward (for hot). When the handle is pushed back as far as possible (for hot water), it doesn't go any farther than the base of the faucet. If the faucet fits your space without touching the window, then the handle won't touch the window either. I love my faucet!

No problem. Lever is almost straight up in the hot position. Don't use it much either.

Actually, it doesn't require any space. The cold is 90 degrees forward and out. Hot is straight up and turn handle out. Plus you can control the temp from the remote below the sink. You will hardly ever use the handle with the sensors

The handle extends 2 3/4 inches behind the center line of the faucet base. The faucet base can be rotated on its axis to move the handle forward a little as I had to do to clear the backsplash. This does affect the throw of the faucet a little but wasn't significant for the 5-10 degrees I had to rotate it.

You don't need any extra room. The handle stays in the upright position or pulls forward toward the sink (never back). To control the flow, it pulls to the right. I love my Moen and consider it the best faucet I have ever had. You will LOVE it. Good luck

The base of my faucet is only 1" from my backsplash. The control lever pulls forward only (with "straight up" being the hot setting).

I use a phanteck cooler which measures 8.5x7x7 inches. The side window sticks out half an inch so it clears. Not much room but it clears nonetheless.

I have about 1/2 inch clearance in front of my granite splash guard. The top of the drain pull is above the 4 inch splash guard in its lowest position.I had the same concern but it worked out well.

vent on one end, directions say allow 3" clearance back, top and sides for air circulation. will not hold proper temp in over 110F or under 0F

I'm not a technical person for Frigidaire or experienced in air conditioning, but I installed the unit myself and it appears to be designed to have a slight tilt to allow water to drain away from the window. I judged that from the angle of the side expander tracks welded on each side of the unit. The tilt is about 5 degrees down, so water will drain away from the window and not in toward the window.

The handle travels approximately 2.5 inches from the off (straight up/center position) toward the hot side and 2.5 inches toward the cold side. Recommend you try positioning the handle in the middle (front) of the faucet. We had it on the right side and changed it to the front where we find it much more convenient and accessible to either hand. That would, of course, also eliminate any back wall clearance concerns you might have. Good Luck.

I just installed my rods and the distance between the wall and the back of the draw plate is 2", but it can be adjusted out one more inch to make it 3" clearance. But then there is the thickness of the window frame(in my case the clearance 1 1/2"--2 1/2". There are rods that have an extra inside rod just for sheers behind drapes or they used to make them because I had several of them years ago. If you are not sure where studs are, you might need to get screws that expand.

Hi Shana,Mine measures about 10-3/4" with the water off, and you need about 12-1/2" with it on, but even that would be very awkward. It won't fit under your shelf anyway, so that point is moot.

becasue I had low clearance between the top of the door when opened and the ceiling (about 14 inches), I had to install this very close to the ceiling which caused it to overheat on a regular basis and malfunction due to the overheating

Not sure of exactly the question, but the lever goes on the right side, the louvers are either closed or having air flow point up. Agree with other answers on measuring inside, but need to make sure there is room for the handle to slide up and down. I would check the size of the existing duct cover, and order another one that size if it fits.

Provisions for extreme heat out of the top of the unit need to be had . As in any gas fired application , sufficient venting and clearances need to be adhered to . Under a sink cabinet would not be advisable . Why not locate the unit to a more suitable location and plumb the water line to the sink ?

This is a free standing unit and would not have sufficient cooling under a kitchen counter. The user manual states that it requires 4" of clearance on the sides and 6" of clearance in the back for cooling.

I ran some PVC elbows and PVC pipe above the level of the sink. I have the vent about 3 feet over the sink and if for some reason there is a back flow up the vent I have it so it will go back into the utility sink. I use a P trap because it will stop any smell from coming back from the drain.

A few people mentioned a handle, but I don't see a handle in the photo. What clearance do you need, to use this underneath something?

You don't say how much clearance you do have. This unit requires19" high. If you don't have 19 clearance below your sink it won't fit. I had 20 inches and it wouldn't work under my counter. The company refunded my money with out any problems though. Bought the smaller 20qt, but didn't think that through very well, 20 quarts is more for a bathroom installation. Ended up using my old 13 gal slide out. Was disappointed because I really wanted it attached to the door.

There are duct pipe connectors that can adjust through various angles. I suggest looking for one of those and connecting it between the two. Sorry I don't know what they are called but you can find them at Home Depot.

I'd say 2-3 inches. It's really further than you'd expect. Be advised that it comes out pretty low on the faucet so if you have a big lip on your sink that can block it.
