INSTALLER
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 Water Cooler for future reference.
IMPORTANT! INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE.
THE GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SUCHAS TELEPHONE, COMPUTERS, ETC. TOWATER
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.

WALL FRAME INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION, PLEASE CHECK YOUR INSTALLATION FOR COMPLIANCE
WITH PLUMBING, ELECTRICALAND OTHER APPLICABLE CODES
1. At 30" above the finished floor, cut a rectangular wall opening 17-1/8" wide by 52-1/4" high. This is
required to obtain a rim height of 34-1/2" and 36" bubbler spout height, which is in compliance with
ANSI Standard A117.1 (See Fig. 3)
2. Reinforce wall opening on all sides so that it will adequately support the water cooler. IT MUST
SUPPORT UP TO 150 LBS. and provide a means of securing the frame assembly in place.
NOTE: Building construction must allow for adequate air flow on both sides and top of remote chiller unit.
4" MINIMUM IS REQUIRED.
3. Install rough-in plumbing to fountain. See Fig. 4 for location of supply water inlet to chiller and for location
of waste water outlet.
4. Install shelf support rods on wall frame assembly. These rods are located in the chiller shelf package.
To install chiller shelf, place shelf on chiller support bracket and attach to support rods.
Secure front edge of the shelf to support bracket using two (2) provided 5/16" x 3/4" long bolts and
nuts. Tighten securely.
5. Install frame assembly in the wall opening with front edge flush with finished wall face. Secure frame
through holes in top and sides to wall support members with 5/16" diameter fasteners (bolts or lag
screws) as required by wall constructions. Fourteen (14) bolts/screws are required. CAUTION: BE
SURE THAT FRAME ASSEMBLY IS SQUARED IN ITS LOCATION AND DO NOT USE LESS THAN
REQUIRED QUANTITY AND SIZE (DIAMETER) OF FASTENERS.
6. Install electrical conduit. Figure 4 shows electrical conduit connection location.
*30" (762mm) to bottom of wall cutout required to obtain
34-1/2"(876mm) rim height (Check local codes)

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install remote chiller. Remove front panel of chiller. Remove and discard cardboard inner pack from
between compressor and side panel. Slide chiller onto the shelf and position it to the left within
the guides on the shelf. (See Fig. 4)
2. Make water supply connections. The inlet port is marked on the chiller (1/4" O.D. copper tube). Bend the
copper tube (provided) at an appropriate length from chiller to opening in frame. Install the in-line strainer
(provided with chiller) by pushing it in until it reaches a positive stop, approximately 3/4" (19mm) on the
marked chiller inlet port. Attach an unplated and deburred copper water inlet line and a service stop (not
provided) to the in-line strainer. Turn on the water supply and flush the line thoroughly. DO NOT SOLDER
TUBES WHILE INSERTED INTO THE STRAINER AS DAMAGE TO THE O-RINGS MAY RESULT.
(See Fig. 10)
3. Remove noise pad from paper and locate on bottom back of the basin between the drain and the bubbler
holes. CAUTION: TO INSURE PAD DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH THE HOLE AREAS, TRIM THE PAD SO
THERE IS APPROX. 1/2" CLEARANCE AROUND THE HOLES. (See Fig. 7)
4. Attach basin mounting brackets to basin studs located in the lower corners with the two (2) provided wing
nuts. Tighten securely. (See Fig. 8)
5. Install basin. Place the upper edge of basin above the hangers in the wall frame. Slide the basin down until it
is engaged before releasing it. Secure basin with the provided two (2) #8 x 3/4" tap screws and two (2) 11/64"
ID washers. (See Figs. 8 & 9)
6. Install waste tube assembly. Align threaded portion of drain tube assembly with drain hole in basin. Place
rubber gasket between drain assembly and basin. Screw in drain plug from above and tighten securely. Snap
strainer plate into drain plug. (See Fig. 13)
7. Make connection between remote chiller outlet tube and fountain. Outlet port is marked on the chiller (1/4"
O.D. copper tube). Install a 1/4" x 1/4" union (provided) on the marked chiller outlet port. Insert the 1/4" poly
tubing coming from the fountain into the union. Turn on water supply and check for leaks. DO NOT SOLDER
TUBES WHILE INSERTED INTO THE UNION AS DAMAGE TO THE O-RINGS MAY RESULT.
(See Figs. 10 & 11)
8. Make electrical connections to the chiller. See chiller instructions.
9. Install chiller access panel. Insert two tabs on bottom of panel in slots on the frame (located just above
basin). Swing top of panel in place and secure using (provided) mounting screws.
10. Attach regulator holder (Item 19) to front panel (Item 5) with hex nut (Item 22). Install front panel. Hold panel
and engage angle on top edge of panel with lower edge of basin. Swing bottom of panel into place against
the wall and secure using panel mounting screws (provided).
11. Open service stop and operate push button to purge air. Check thoroughly for leaks. Check stream height
from bubbler. Stream height is factory set at 35-40 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, remove
items 23 & 24 and adjust the screw on regulator (Item 20). Clockwise adjustment will raise stream height
and counter-clockwise will lower stream height. For best adjustment stream height should be approximately
1-1/2 (38mm) above the bubbler guard. (See Fig. 5)

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
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 clean, regulate flow as in
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 Fig.2)
To insert tubing, push tube straight into fitting until it reaches a
positive stop, approximately 3/4".
