Installation & Operation Manual
Outdoor Drinking Fountains
Pre-Installation Information
Before step 1 of the installation instructions, ensure that rough-ins are in the correct location.
The valve assembly, including the spray head, MUST NOT BE connected until after all lines have
been flushed to remove the small particles of debris that are inherent with new construction projects
and all chemicals that are used in flushing are purged from the system.
Chemicals used in flushing plumbing systems can attack the internal components of the valve and
spray head and severely damage them, so any flushing of the system must be followed by a full
flushing with pure water to clear any harsh chemicals remaining in the system. Debris in the system if
allowed to enter the valve assembly and spray head can cause poor performance or outright failure.
Again DO NOT attempt to connect the valve assembly and spray head until after all flushing is
complete and pure water is the only media that will be passing through the system. Damage to the
valve assembly or spray head caused by harsh chemicals or debris will not be covered by the
manufacturer's warranty.
Any fittings provided by the installer should be made of plastic to electrically isolate the unit from the
building or connected plumbing system.
The grounding of electric equipment such as telephones, computers, etc, to water lines is a common
procedure. This grounding can cause electrical feedback into a water fountain or similar fixture,
causing electrolysis, which results in a metallic taste or an increase in the metal content of the water.
This can easily be avoided by using the proper materials as indicated.

Check Rough-In location PRIOR to installation
Flush lines thoroughly PRIOR to hook-up

Care and Maintenance
Stainless Steel Care
Stainless Steels are basically alloys of iron and chromium and are corrosion resistant. Stainless
steel has a bright surface that is easy to clean and is free from oxides. Therefore, cleaning of
stainless steel is relatively simple and easy if done on a regular basis.

hydrochloric acid, muriatic acid or potassium hydrochloride can ruin the surface.
Unit Care during Cold 'Freezing' Weather
These fountains are resistant to freezing if proper winterization procedures are followed. Outdoor Drinking Fountains
require Winterization maintenance protocol steps to be freeze resistant whcih consist of shutting off the water supply
and draining of the water line above freeze points, please see instructions. The unit should be disconnected or shut
off from the water supply and drained during the colder freezing months. We do offer FRV Freeze Resistant Valve
options at additional costs, please see the details listed on the back pages. For more information, refer to the rough-
in detail.

3. The unit is rated for a maximum range of 30-105 psi.
C. Inspect the unit's valve for damage, and replace if necessary.
D. Inspect the inline strainer for damage and/or clogging, and clean or replace as necessary.
E. Check all fittings and tubing for damage and leaks. Replace components as necessary.
