Installation/Care/Use Manual
Model: EDF214WC
Non-Refrigerated Fountain
To assure you install this model easily and correctly,
PLEASE READ THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING THE
INSTALLATION. CHECK YOUR INSTALLATION FOR COMPLIANCE WITH
PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL AND OTHER APPLICABLE CODES. After installation, leave
these instructions inside the fountain for future reference.
IMPORTANT! INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE.
THE GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SUCH AS TELEPHONE, COMPUTERS, ETC. TO
WATER LINES IS A COMMON PROCEDURE. THIS GROUNDING MAY BE IN THE BUILDING OR MAY
OCCUR AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. THIS GROUNDING CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL FEEDBACK
INTO A FOUNTAIN, CREATING AN ELECTROLYSIS WHICH CAUSES A METALLIC TASTE OR AN
INCREASE IN THE METAL CONTENT OF THE WATER. THIS CONDITION IS AVOIDABLE BY USING
THE PROPER MATERIALS AS INDICATED. ANY DRAIN FITTINGS PROVIDED BY THE INSTALLER
SHOULD BE MADE OF PLASTIC TO ELECTRICALLY ISOLATE THE FOUNTAIN FROM THE BUILDING
PLUMBING SYSTEM.

1. Wall should already be framed for the fountain using the positioning dimensions shown in Fig. 3.
Shown dimensions pertain to installation location (framing must support up to 150 lbs. weight).
2. Install rough-in plumbing as shown in Fig. 3. Run supply water inlet line and connect to a service stop
(not provided). Turn on supply water and flush thoroughly. Close water supply.
3. Remove bottom access panel from fountain basin and save the screws. Install the fountain to the wall
using (4) 5/16" bolts and washers (not provided). Bolts should be long enough to securely fasten the
fountain to the wall. Tighten securely, but do not over tighten. Over tightening will crack the Composite
Fountain.
4. Remove elbow from end of p-trap (item 1) and attach it to drain tube. Re-attach elbow to p-trap and
cut waste tube to required length using plumbing hadware and trap as guide.
5. Make water supply connections from service stop to the fountain strainer (item 18) by inserting the
water inlet line into the inlet side of strainer until it reaches a positive stop about 3/4", (See Figure 2,
Page 1). Turn on water supply and check for leaks. Newly installed water supply line should be
insulated after leak check is completed. DO NOT SOLDER TUBES INSERTED INTO THE STRAINER
AS DAMAGE TO THE O-RINGS MAY RESULT.
6. These products are designed to operate on 20-105 PSIG supply line pressure. If inlet pressure is
above 105 PSIG, a pressure regulator must be installed in the supply line. Any damage caused by
reason of connecting these products to supply line pressure lower than 20 PSIG or higher than 105 PSIG
is not covered by warranty.
7. Check stream height from bubbler. Stream height is factory set at 45-50 PSI. If supply pressure
varies greatly from this, remove items 5 and 6 (See Figure 5, Page 4) and adjust the screw on regulator
(item 10). Clockwise adjustment will raise stream height and counter-clockwise adjustment will lower
stream height. For best adjustment stream height should be approximately 1" (25mm) above the bubbler
guard. (See Figure 4, Page 4).
8. Replace bottom access panel to fountain basin using screws provided. Tighten securely.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Care and Maintenance of Elkay Fountains
The Elkay fountain provides an exremely durable, nonporous surface which resists staining. Care is very
simple. Routine cleaning with a soft sponge or cloth, or with water or non-abrasive aerosol foam cleaner, is
all that is normally needed to give many years of trouble free service. Cleaners left standing on the fountain
surface can dull the surface finish. Be certain to rinse all cleaning agents completely and polish with a soft
cloth.
Harsh abrasive cleaners are not required and should not be used.
Mild abrasives such as liquid automotive cleaning compound or baking soda paste will remove simple
scratches and stains. Cigarette burns can normally be removed without noticeable effect. Deeper
scratches or gouges can be corrected with fine grit sandpaper (240 grit then 400 grit) or a green Scotchbrite
pad.
To maintain or regain luster and make cleaning easier, periodic applications of automobile wax or like
products will keep the finish looking like new.

DESCRIPTION
Orifice Assy: Mineral deposits on orifice can cause water flow to spurt or
not regulate. Mineral deposits may be removed from the orifice with a small
round file not over 1/8" diameter or small diameter wire.
CAUTION: Do not file or cut orifice material.
Stream Regulator: If orifice is free of material deposits, regulate flow as in
instructions on page 3 (Step 7). If replacement is necessary, see parts list
for correct regulator part number.
Actuation of Quick Connect Water Fittings: Cooler is provided with
lead-free connectors which utilize an o-ring water seal. To remove tubing
from the fitting, relieve water pressure, push in on the gray collar while
pulling on the tubing.(See Figure 2, Page 1). To insert tubing, push tube
straight into fitting until it reaches a positive stop, approximately 3/4".
