1. Water Supply Service Stop Valve and Water Connections to be supplied by others in accordance with local
codes.
3. Provide mounting surface, adequate to support the fixture and loads on the fixture.
IMPORTANT:
3. Completely flush supply lines of all foreign debris before connecting to fixture. Optional Water Filter (WF1), is
available should any problems with taste, odor, color, or sediment arise from the water supply.
4. All burrs must be removed from outside of cut tubes before inserting into strainer or other components.
5. Per UPC 609.10-All building water supply systems in which quick acting valves are installed shall be
provided with devices to absorb the hammer caused by high pressure resulting from the quick closing of the
valve. These pressure-absorbing devices shall be approved mechanical devices. Water pressure-absorbing
devices shall be installed as close as possible to the quick closing valve.
2. Waste is 1-1/4” Outer Diameter. Drinking Fountain water inlet is 3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. Bottle
Filler water inlet is 3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. Water line by others.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
1. Read all installation instructions carefully, before proceeding.
2. Carefully remove all fixture components from packaging, preventing scratching or damage. Inspect fixture and
all parts from damages and all parts that are bolted on.
4. Provide rough-ins as shown on the roughing-in and dimensional drawing, including water supply, drain pipe
and gravel drain well. (See rough-in details)
5. Completely flush water supply lines of all foreign debris, before connecting to the fixture.
1. Insert mounting frame into the rough-in block out and secure using 1/4”-20 UNC mounting hardware (Provided
by Others).
4. Remove the drinking fountain top by taking out the drain screw and lifting at the front while pulling forward.
Disconnect bubbler tube. Set top aside in a safe place where it will not be damaged. Place the screw in a
secure location where it will not be lost.
5. Slide Fixture over studs and secure with nuts and washers.
6. Assemble P-trap to drain adapter and then assemble to unit with Phillips head screws.
9. Place drain gasket on drain adapter. Reconnect bubbler tube. Reassemble top to unit by engaging back clip
and securing with screw.
1. Before connecting power supply, but after thoroughly flushing the supply line, turn on building water supply
and check all connections for leaks.
2. Air within the drinking fountain system or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular bubbler outlet
stream until purged out by incoming water. Covering the bubbler with a clean cup (or similar object) is
recommended when first activating drinking fountain to prevent excessive splashing. Depress front push pad
until steady water stream is achieved.
3. Install the four threaded studs into the Wall Mounting Frame
2. Hang trim panel on mounting frame. Note: The included 1” brackets do not get used with this installation and
the plastic spacers are typically not required and can be discarded.
4. Recheck all water connections with water flowing through system.
7. Make-up 1-1/4” outer diameter waste connection.
8. After thoroughly flushing the 3/8” outer diameter supply line, connect water supply to the 3-way divider
assembly. From the 3-way divider assembly, connect to drinking fountain bubbler.
DRINKING FOUNTAIN START UP:
DRINKING FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION:
3. If water flow requires adjustment, insert a slotted narrow blade screwdriver in the hole centered on the
underside of the fixture in the knee clearance area up to the flow regulator. Turning clockwise will increase
flow and turning counterclockwise will decrease flow.

NOTE: FITTINGS AND TUBE SHOULD BE KEPT
CLEAN, BAGGED AND UNDAMAGED PRIOR
TO INSTALLATION.
2. Pull on the fitted tubing to ensure it is secure.
Tube should not come free from the fitting. Water
test the connection assembly prior to leaving the
site to ensure there are no leaks.
DISCONNECTING THE TUBE:
To disconnect the tube from the fitting ensure that
the water line is depressurized. Push collet square
towards the push-in fitting body and hold. While
holding the collet in, pull on the PE tubing to remove
from the push-in fitting.
TO CUT TUBE:
Cut to fit length of 1/4” PE tubing and remove any
burrs or sharp edges. Ensure that the outside
diameter is free from score marks. Tube ends
should be square.
INSERTING THE TUBE:
1. Firmly and fully insert the tubing end into the
push-in fitting up to the tube stop located

TROUBLE SHOOTING:
1. ADJUSTMENTS:
b. Verify minimum 20 psig supply line flow pressure.
a. Cartridge – The water flow can be adjusted using a slotted narrow blade screwdriver and turning
clockwise to increase flow and counterclockwise to decrease flow.
g. Flow control in solenoid valve outlet elbow clogged remove & clean.
f. Check flow adjustment. See start up note #3.
2. RESTRICTED OR NO WATER FLOW:
a. Open fixture. Loosen nuts holding valve bracket assembly to bottom of fixture but, do not remove. Move
complete valve bracket assembly further back from the front push pad and tighten to lock in place.
c. Check for twists or kinks in outlet tubing.
b. Replace valve cartridge.
c. Bubbler Stream - Bubbler can be rotated slightly to direct the stream backwards or forwards. Adjust the
stream to minimize splashing. Splashing may occur from bubbler stream if the unit is not level. Shim lower
mounting point, if necessary, to level chiller.
a. Ensure water supply service stop valve is fully open.
d. Check the water inlet “Y” strainer. Sediment from the main supply can get trapped in the screen along
with installation materials such as pipe dope and flux. The screen should be cleaned and checked on a
regular basis and replace if needed.
e. The cartridge valve located in the water control assembly or bubbler can also become clogged with
foreign material. The cartridge valve can only be replaced and not repaired.
3. WATER DRIPS OR WILL NOT SHUT OFF:
b. Cold Water Thermostat – The water temperature can be adjusted using a slotted screwdriver and turning
clockwise to make colder and counterclockwise to make warmer.
h. No power to transformer connections, loose or wires cut.

4. Periodically remove access panel of cooler and clean out inline “Y’’ strainer
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. Motors have lifetime lubrication and do not require scheduled maintenance.
2. Excess dirt or poor ventilation will cause the compressor overload protector to turn the compressor off and it
will cycle on and off with no cold water coming out of bubbler. Periodically clean with vacuum cleaner, air
hose or brush the condenser fins and cabinet ventilation louvers. In environments where dirt and dust is
more prevalent, clean more frequently.
3. Periodically remove fountain top and clean out in-line strainer.
For Powder coated units: Units should be cleaned using a mild soap solution with a sponge or cotton cloth.
Wipe down surfaces then rinse with clean water.
For Stainless steel units:
2. If there are stubborn spots or if you wish to treat a scratch, synthetic abrasive general purpose pads such as
scotch brite are recommended.
3. Stainless steel should be kept clean at all times. If a coating of stainless steel cleaner/polish is maintained,
stainless steel surfaces will retain their new, clean, polished appearance indefinitely.
1. To Remove water spots or rust spots, stainless steel cleaner/polish on a cloth is recommended.
