Elkay Fountains are among the easiest to install Fountains on the market today. To assure you install these
models 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 with the Fountain for future
reference. This Freeze Resistant Fountain is shipped in two separate cartons. The second carton(s) contains

INSTALLER
IMPORTANT
ALL SERVICE TO BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSON.
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.

The freeze resistant package must be mounted on an interior wall in a heated area. The room temperature of the interior heated area must
be 50° F (10° C) or higher. The freeze resistant package may be surface or recessed mounted. If recess mounted the surface of the cover
must be ush with the interior wall surface. The package is furnished with screws for mounting the cover to the box. If the box is recess
mounted, do not fasten the top and bottom of the cover to the box. Use the holes on the front only.
1. Fountains using the MPW Mounting Plate refer to Fig's. 6 or 8 for hanger bracket location and rough-in dimensions.
NOTE: Review separate installation instructions for details of the MPW Mounting Plate. Fountains using the MP20 Wall Plate Assy. refer
to Fig. 4 for rough-in dimensions.
2. Shown dimensions pertain to installation location (framing must support up to 150 lbs. weight for single fountain and 300 lbs. for dual
fountains). These dimensions are required for compliance with ANSI Standard A117.0.
3. Installing back panel.
EDFP217FPC: Refer to Fig. 17 for placement of braces onto back panel. Place the upper edge of the panel above hanger bracket.
Slide the panel down until it engages the hanger bracket. Be sure back panel is rmly engaged before releasing it.
EDFP217FPC w/MP20 Wall Plate Assy: Place the upper edge of the panel above mounting plate on the wall. Slide the panel down until
it engages the hanger. Be sure back panel is rmly engaged before releasing it.
4. Remove bottom access panel from fountain basin and save the screws.
EDFP217FPC: Install the fountain to the back panel and wall using (4) 5/16" x 2.00" long lag bolts and washers (NOT PROVIDED).
EDFP217FPC w/MPW Mounting Plate: Install the fountain to the back panel and wall using (4) 5/16 “ x 6” long threaded rods, washers,
and nuts (provided). Tighten securely.
EDFP217FPC w/MP20 Wall Plate Assy: Install the fountain to the back panel and wall using (4) 5/16" x 3/4" long bolts and washers
(provided) thru holes in back panel. A washer is used on the bottom two (2) holes only. Tighten securely.
5. Assemble the operating cable to the fountain bracket. (Fountain should be mounted to exterior wall) The adjustment nuts should be in
the middle of threaded area on the operating cable. See Figure 10. Create a loop in the cable and thread the free end of the cable
through the wall into the freeze resistant box.
6. Connect free end of operating cable to the valve-operating bracket in the freeze resistant box. Remove cable free play by adjusting the
jam nuts on the ends of the operating cable. See Figure 11.
7. Connect water line from fountain bubbler into freeze resistant box. The connection to the box uses a quick connect water tting.
Position the water line, in the fountain, to drain back into interior mounted box. Any water left standing, in the exterior line, can freeze.
See Fig. 14.
To insert tubing, push tube straight into tting until it reaches a positive stop. To remove tubing from the ttings, relieve water pressure,
push in on dark gray collar while pulling out on the tubing. See Figure 2.
8. Connect drain and water supply lines to the freeze resistant fountain. Refer to Figure's 3 thru 9 for component positions. Inline strainer
must be used on the inlet water line. See Fig. 1.
Start-up
1. Turn on building water supply and check all connections for leaks. Repair as required.
2. Stream height is factory set at 35 PSI. If stream height needs to be changed adjust the regulator in the freeze resistant package.
Clockwise adjustment raises stream height, counter clockwise adjustment will lower stream.
3. Adjust operating cable as required. Cable system should have a minimal amount of free play to allow for proper valve operation. If the
system is too tight the valve will stay in the on position creating constant water ow. Too much free play will result in non-operation of
the valve with the push-buttons.
4. Note: Water from the drain back tube in the freeze resistant package, will continue to run while the valve is actuated.
5. After cable system is adjusted properly stuff exible insulation into any openings between the outside wall and the interior box.
6. Recheck all connections. If all connections are leak free replace cover(s) on the freeze resistant box(es) and fountain(s).
