INSTALLATION:
1. Install Mounting Brackets to the bottom and top of the Rough-In opening. WARNING: Mounting
Brackets MUST be securely anchored and centered within the opening. See Figure B.
2. Install the Air Valve Assembly roughly in position as shown in Figure B. This is supplied for the
Cuspidor unit only and the installation method will be by others.
3. Hang the Fountain and Cuspidor on the upper Mounting Bracket making sure the bracket and flange
from the Fountain and Cuspidor engage. The Fountain and Cuspidor must sit flush against the wall.
4. Locate the provided “L” brackets in relation to the Tabs from the Fountain and Cuspidor. Mark the
hole locations, remove the Fountain and Cuspidor and then mount the brackets.
5. Install the captive nuts into the “L” Brackets as shown in Figure C.
6. Re-hang the Fountain and Cuspidor assembly. Secure the Fountain and Cuspidor to the “L” brackets
using the supplied #10-32 screws and washers. The screws need to pass through the tab and into
the “L” brackets containing the captive nut. Tighten the screws to pull the Fountain and Cuspidor
flush with the wall.
7. Install water supply and drain as required per Figure A Rough-In dimensions.
8. Thoroughly flush the supply line, connect water supply to the Cuspidor.

START UP:
1. Before assembling bottom access covers to Cuspidor and Fountain, but after thoroughly flushing the
supply line and connecting it to the fixture, turn on building water supply and check all connections
for leaks.
2. Air within the Fountain and Cuspidor or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular outlet
stream until purged out by incoming water.
3. Recheck all water and drain connections with water flowing through system.
4. Install Removable Access Coves to the Fountain and Cuspidor bottom Mounting Bracket, install the
supplied #8-32 screws and washers from the bottom of the Removable Access Cover.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. Periodically remove access panels and clean out in-line strainer.
2. Do NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasive or petroleum based cleaners. Use of these will void the
Acorn warranty.
3. Exterior panels can be cleaned using mild household detergents or warm, soapy water. Extra care
must be used cleaning chrome plated items and mirror finished stainless steel. They can scratch
easily and should only be cleaned using a clean, soft cloth and mild soap with water or a mild glass
cleaner.

TROUBLE SHOOTING:
IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING ANY OF THE REPAIRS LISTED, MAKE SURE THE WATER
SUPPLY VALVE IS SHUT OFF.
1. Adjustments:
a. Cartridge - The flow can be adjusted using a slotted narrow blade screwdriver and turning
clockwise to increase flow and counter clockwise to decrease flow.
b. 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.
2. Restricted or No Water Flow
a Ensure water supply service stop valve is fully open
b. Verify minimum 20 psig supply line flow pressure.
c. Check for twists or kinks in bubbler tubing.
d. Check water inlet strainer. Sediment from the main supply can get trapped in the screen
along with installation material such as pipe dope and flux. The screen should be cleaned and
check on a regular basis and replace if needed. NOTE: STRAINER SCREEN MUST BE IN
PLACE FOR WATER TO FLOW.
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.
f. Check flow adjustment.
