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. Familiarize yourself with the RC Wallframe which should already be in place in the wall. If not, refer to the RC Wallframe Installation
Instructions before proceeding.
2. Determine location of rough plumbing. At this point, you should decide which style trap you plan to use. For easier installation, we
recommend the use of a swivel trap.
3. Install the basin (See Fig. 6). Hold the basin flush against the wall, positioning the top edge just above the upper edge of the wallframe.
Then slide the basin down slowly until it engages the hanger bracket. Be sure the basin is firmly engaged before releasing it.
4. Finish securing basin in place. Align the brackets at the bottom of the basin with the bracket on the frame. Fasten the brackets together
using screws and speednuts (provided with fountain).
5. Install tailpiece assembly. Slide the slip nut and gasket from the trap onto the tailpiece. Insert the tailpiece assembly into the trap and
align its other end with the drain hole in the basin. Place rubber gasket between the tailpiece assembly and the basin, then screw in the
drain plug from above. Tighten the drain plug. Tighten slip nut and swivel joint. Snap the strainer plate into the drain plug.
6. Install a service stop (not provided) on the supply water inlet line. Turn on supply water and flush thoroughly.
7. Install refrigeration unit. Slide refrigeration unit into the wallframe and position tight against left side and flush with the front edge of
wallframe. WARNING: Adequate space must be maintained behind the refrigeration unit for air circulation.
8. Water supply connections (See Fig 7 & 8)
A. RC8A Models  Connect service stop to tube marked Water Inlet on remote chiller. Make connection from chiller Cold Water Outlet
tube to regulator valve assembly using the provided elbow and strainer.
B. RC12A Models  Connect service stop to precooler/tailpiece assembly inlet tube. Connect precooler/tailpiece assembly outlet tube to
tube marked Water Inlet on remote chiller. Make connection from chiller Cold Water Outlet tube to regulator valve assembly using the
provided elbow and strainer.
9. GF Model Only. Connect glass filler line to outlet on tee located between strainer and regulator valve assembly. (See Fig. 7A & 8A)
10. Open service stop and operate push button to purge air. Check thoroughly for leaks.
11. Check stream height from bubbler. Stream height is factory set at 45  50 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, remove
items 17 & 18 and adjust screw on regulator (item 14). Clockwise adjustment will raise stream height and CCW adjustment will lower
stream height. For best adjustment, stream height should be approximately 1-1/2 (38mm) above the bubbler guard. (See Fig. 15)
12. Connect refrigeration unit to electrical supply and check for proper operation. WARNING: Adequate space must be maintained behind
the refrigeration unit for air circulation.
13. Attach regulator holder (item 13) to grill (item 3) with hex nut (item 16). Hold grill and engage angle on top edge of grill with lower edge
of basin. Swing bottom of grill into place against the wall and securing grill mounting screws (provided).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE
RC MODEL DRINKING FOUNTAIN
(with optional cup dispenser)
1. The 14700 Model Cup Dispenser with Glassfiller is designed to complement model RCA3 drinking fountains. The fountain should
already be installed before beginning installation, if not, refer to page 2 for your model. Remove louvered access panel from
fountain via the two screws at the bottom.
2. Check wall opening to see if provisions have been made to accept this cup dispenser. If they have not, refer to page 2 for rough-
in instructions. CAUTION: Wall construction must be framed to support fountain and cup dispenser (approximately 150 pounds).
3. See Parts List Illustration (page 7) for exact location of cup dispenser tailpiece. Decide which style of waste trap you intend to
use. For easier installation, we recommend the use of a swivel trap.
4. Orientate yourself to the configuration of the cup dispenser. Open front door and remove the spring loaded trash access panel.
To remove access panel, just loosen the four mounting screws and pull out the panel. Also remove the waste bin. Note location of
mounting slots in the wall box portion of the cup dispenser. The slots are for affixing wallbox to building construction.
5. Put cup dispenser in wall opening. Determine shimming required to obtain a good alignment with fountain. Open and close door
to ensure proper operation. CAUTION: Do not suspend cup dispenser via the mounting slots - be sure to shim along bottom edge
to bear the weight of the cup dispenser.
6. Secure cup dispenser in place. Use lag screws or bolts as required by wall construction.
7. Install glass filler supply tube assembly. (Figure 11). Put glass filler fitting through hole provided in back, put fibre washer on from
the front and screw on the hexagonal mounting nut. Note that the tubing itself is flex-tubing which will enable you to hand-form as
required for installation.
8. Install glass filler. First remove the blue handle, then screw the glass filler into the glass filler fitting. Reattach blue handle.
9. Turn off supply water to the RCA-3 drinking fountain. Disconnect supply tubing from fitting located at the push button valve
assembly. Remove elbow from valve assembly and install tube tee (provided). Reconnect supply water tubing (see parts list
illustration on page 7).
10. Connect glass filler supply tubing to tee.
11. Install tailpiece assembly (as shown in Figure 12). Connect waste trap (not provided).
12. Turn on supply water and operate push button valve and glass filler. Check entire system for leaks. Water flow from the glass
filler can be adjusted by turning the flow adjusting screw (see Figure 11). In order to adjust, it may be necessary to remove, and
then reinstall the glass filler, per step 8 above.
13. Replace the spring loaded trash access panel via the four mounting screws. Reinstall louvered grill on the RCA-3 fountain.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Cleaning of Aztec Gold Models requires special care. Outer
surfaces must be cleaned with a mild detergent or mixture of vinegar and
water only, rinsed and wiped dry. Abrasive and acidic cleaners may
eventually damage the Aztec Gold finish.
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.1) To insert tubing, push tube straight into fitting until it
reaches a positive stop, approximately 3/4".
