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 dimensions shown in Fig. 1.
Shown dimensions pertain to installation location. (Framing shown for reference only).
2. Fasten mounting box or boxes into wall cutout(s) using bolts or screws (not provided).
3. Mount fountain body (and cuspidor when applicable) on mounting box. Screws and clips are
provided for fastening fountain body to box.
4. Remove strainer and the 3/8" O.D. tube that is inserted in it from the refrigeration package.
Install a 1/4 union (2 provided) on both the inlet and outlet line of the refrigeration package by pushing
the tubes straight into ttings until they reach a positive stop, approximately 3/4". (See Fig. 3) DO
NOT SOLDER TUBES INSERTED INTO THE STRAINER AS DAMAGE TO THE O-RINGS MAY
RESULT.
5. Place refrigeration package inside mounting box and connect the chiller inlet line with the tube
coming from the regulator holder (See Page 5) and connect the chiller outlet line with line coming from
the bubbler.
6. On cuspidor models, connect 1/4 tube coiled in fountain to spreader. (See Page 5)
7. Water supply is 3/8" O.D. and waste tailpiece(s) are 1-1/4" O.D. Contractor is to supply waste
trap(s) and service stop valve in accordance with local codes.
8. Connecting lines to be unplated copper and thoroughly ushed to remove all foreign matter
before connecting to fountain assembly.
9. Connect the fountain to supply line by installing a union between the supply and fountain.
10. Electrical: Insure power supply is identical in voltage, cycle, and phase to that specied on the
refrigeration package serial plate. Never wire compressor directly to the power supply.
11. Turn water supply on and check thoroughly for leaks.
12. Release air from tank by depressing push bar; a steady stream of water assures all air is removed.
13. Re-check for leaks.
14. Stream height is factory set at 35 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, turn adjustment
screw on regulator (item 1). Clockwise adjustment will raise the stream height and counter-clockwise
adjustment will lower stream height. For best adjustment, stream should hit basin approximately
6-1/2" from the bubbler.
15. Rotate fan blade on refrigeration package to insure proper clearance and free fan action.
16. Connect power supply.
17. Install grill using #8 x 1.00" (25mm) PH screws and small clips provided.
