2. Install the Drain
Remove the temporary 3/8″pipe previously installed into the
supply fitting.
Remove the 1-1/4″pipe installed to the drain fitting.
Install a 3/8″nipple for the supply to extend approximately
7/16″(11 mm) from the finished wall.
NOTE: If the tubing is used for supply, a male threaded adapter
must extend approximately 7/16″(11 mm) from the finished wall.
Assemble the water stop onto the nipple.
Ensure that the screwdriver slot on the water stop is angled at
45°, and that it is facing toward the bottom access.
Ensure that the water stop inlet and outlet are parallel to the
floor.
3. Install the Drinking Fountain
Measure the distance between the finished wall and the center of
the drinking fountain outlet.
Remove the temporary capped nipple.
Replace the temporary nipple with a nipple that will position the
trap inlet directly under the drinking fountain outlet.
Install the two provided wall hangers to the wall, as shown in the
roughing-in diagram. Secure the hangers by the center hole only.

Install the Drinking Fountain (cont.)
Install the trap to the nipple. Position and level the fountain onto
the hangers.
NOTE: The hangers may have to be repositioned. Due to
dimensional variations with vitreous china products, the hangers
may have to be raised or lowered slightly so that there is 3/16″(5
mm) from the bottom of the drinking fountain outlet to the face of
the trap inlet.
Using screws, secure the two hangers to the backing through the
remaining two holes in the hanger.
Through the side access, mark the center of the 1/2″(13 mm) x 1″
(25 mm) anchoring slot located on the right-hand back wall of the
fountain.
Remove the fountain from the hangers and install the anchoring
stud.
NOTE: The machine threaded portion of the anchoring stud should
extend approximately 5/8″(16 mm) from the finished wall. The stud
must be centered in the slot.
4. Install the Strainer
Apply a bead of plumbers putty or other sealant around the
underside of the strainer body flange according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Insert the strainer body into the fountain drain hole.
From the underside of the drinking fountain, slide the tapered
gasket onto the strainer body, making sure that the tapered side is
facing up.
Position the fountain onto the hangers so that the anchoring stud
and the opening of the slot line up.
Line up the strainer body with the trap, and thread the strainer
body securely onto the trap.
NOTE: The fountain must be supported by the hangers only. Do
not position the drain after it has been tightened into the trap, or the
seal may be broken.

5. Secure the Fixture
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Overtightening can cause
vitreous china to break or chip.
Place the washer and cap nut over the anchoring stud, and
carefully tighten to secure the drinking fountain.
From the bottom of the access, install the copper supply tube
with the compression fitting between the stop and control valve.
Connect the straight end of the tube to the stop, then connect the
angled end of the supply tube to the control valve until both are
hand-tight.
Secure both nuts with a wrench.
NOTE: The copper supply connection may be bent slightly to fit.
Snap the strainer plate into the strainer body. If necessary, adjust
the drinking fountain head so that the arc of the water is parallel
to the wall.
6. Install the Cover Plates
Check for leaks.
Install the cover plates to the bottom access openings.

7. Complete the Installation
When this drinking fountain is installed with a water cooler, jam
the knurled locknut against the bonnet assembly to prevent
continuous flow.
The lever handle has been adjusted at the factory so that the
blade is parallel to the floor. If additional adjustment is required,
remove the setscrew with a 3/32″hex wrench.
Pull the handle straight off. Do not twist the handle.
Reverse this procedure to reinstall the handle.
