INSTALLATION, CARE & USE MANUAL
Review these instructions before beginning installation. Be sure that installation
conforms to all plumbing, electrical and other applicable codes.
When installation is complete, ensure these instructions are left in the plastic bag
provided inside the installed unit for future reference.
Service to be performed by authorized service personnel only.
INSTALLER
NOTE: It is common practice to ground electrical hardware such as telephones, computers and other devices
to available water lines. This can, however, cause electrical feedback in the plumbing circuit, which
results in an “electrolysis” effect occurring in the fountain. This may result in water which has a
metallic taste to it or has a noticeable increase in the metallic content of the water.
When inspecting plumbing circuit, remember the line may be grounded some distance from the
installation, and may occur outside the building or area in which the unit is being installed.
This condition can be avoided (in most cases) by using recommended materials during installation.
Any drain fittings provided by the installer should be made of plastic which will electronically isolate
the fountain from the remainder of the building’s plumbing circuits.

1. Make 13-1/4” (337mm) diameter cutout indicated location
on countertop. Maintain the 7-5/8” (194mm) dimension
from the front edge for ADA compliance. Make 1-5/16
diameter on front of countertop (See Figure 1).
2. Install bubbler assembly to fountain. Align recess in
underside of bubbler with dimple in fountain.
3. Apply caulk (not provided) around cutout and waste
opening.
4. Place fountain over opening and drop in strainer.
(See Figure 2)
5. From underside, position and secure tiedown bracket
using waste fitting. (See Figure 3)
6. Use screws with nuts and washers (provided) to tighten
unit to countertop. Wipe off excess caulking.
(See Figure 3)
7. Determine required length of waste line and cut to
appropriate length. 1-1/4” O.D. waste tube furnished.
1-1/4” slip trap, waste elbow and extension not
provided.
8. Make water supply connections from service stop to the
3/8” O.D. unplated copper tube coming out of the
strainer. Turn on water supply and check for leaks. Newly
installed water supply line should be insulated after leak
check is completed.
CAUTION: DO NOT SOLDER tubes into the
strainer as damage to the o-rings
may result.
9. These products are designed to operate on 20-105
PSI supply line pressure. If the supply pressure is
above 105 PSI, a pressure regulator must be installed
in the supply line. Any damage caused by reason of
connecting these products to supply line pressures
lower than 20 PSI or higher than 105 PSI is not
covered by warranty.
10. Check stream height from bubbler. Stream height is
factory set at 45-50 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly
from this, adjust the screw on regulator item 16 by using
a small screwdriver through the small hole in the push
button item 14 (See Fig.7). Clockwise adjustment will
raise stream height and counterclockwise movement will
lower stream height. For best adjustment stream should
hit basin approximately 6-1/2” from bubbler.

TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE
Orifice Assembly: Mineral deposits on orifice
can cause water flow to spurt or not regulate. Mineral
deposits may be removed from the orifice by poking with
a small round file not over 1/8” diameter, or using a
small diameter wire.
DO NOT file or cut orifice
material.
Stream Regulator: If orifice is clean, reg-
ulate flow as in Step 10, Page 2 of the installa-
tion instructions. 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 9) To
insert tubing,push tube straight into fitting until it
reaches a positive stop (approximately 3/4”).
