PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Important: Some options may slightly alter installation. To ensure proper installation review the manual thoroughly and verify
rough-ins before beginning any work. File this manual with the owner or maintenance personnel upon completion of installation
— Fixture mounting requirements: Industry standard wall construction, adequate to support the fixture and (installer provided) wall
anchors sufficient to secure the fixture.
— Fixture operates within water pressure range of 20 to 105 psig. Murdock will not warranty fixtures damaged when connected to
supply lines with flow pressure lower than 20 psig or higher than 105 psig.
— 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 will be installed as close as possible to the quick
closing valve.
— Water supply inlet is 1/4” OD polyethylene tube.
— Completely flush supply of all foreign debris before connecting to fixture. Bottle filler is designed to provide trouble free drinking
water unaffected by fixture connection tubing and fittings and not cause problems with taste, odor, color or sediment.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Remove drinking cooler access panel and shut off water supply, then actuate valve to relieve pressure.
2. Drill 1/2” dia. hole thru drinking cooler deck (where shown above). Deburr hole and install grommet provided.
Drilling Notes:
— Wear approved safety glasses when drilling.
— Prior to drilling stainless steel, adhere masking tape over drilling area to protect finish and provide
marking surface.
— Use a short, sharp high-speed drill bit and drill speed of 400-600 RPM; applying heavy pressure. Drill
must cut at all times. DO NOT allow drill bit to ride, this will cause work hardening and will make it
very difficult to drill or tap. Bibb washers, placed on drill shank will help to prevent marring the surface
after the drill has broke through.
3. Mark vertical (plumb) center line on the wall, at the center of the drinking cooler deck.

RE-PIPING FROM NON-PRESSURIZED TO PRESSURIZED (FOR -GF & -BF ONLY)
To re-pipe a single non-pressurized unit to pressurized, you will have to move the water supply tubing around, with “NO”
additional tubing needed. Before performing this task you MUST SHUT OFF THE WATER SUPPLY, and disconnect all supply
connections.
STEP 3:
From the outlet of the cartridge assembly, connect to
the bubbler.
STEP 1:
Starting with the supply line coming from the wall,
connect to the inlet of the evaporator assembly.
STEP 2:
From the outlet of the evaporator assembly, connect to
the inlet of the cartridge assembly.

PUSH-IN FITTING INSTALLATION
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 approximately ½”
deep.

START UP:
1. Air within the bottle filler system or the structure supply pipping will cause an irregular spout outlet stream until
purged out by incoming water. Hold cup (or similar object) directly below filler spout is recommended when first
activating bottle filler to prevent excessive splashing. Press and hold pushbutton until steady water stream is
achieved.
2. Using the same method, hold cup (or similar object) directly over bubbler(s) and active bubblers until air is purged
out and a steady stream is achieved.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Hold container to be filled just below the filler tube in the center of the unit, then push pushbutton. When the container
is almost filled, release the pushbutton.

MCBF1 (Install/Maintenance Instructions)
TROUBLE SHOOTING:.
1. 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 twist or kinks in spout tubing.
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. Flow control in solenoid valve outlet elbow clogged remove & clean.
f. The water cooler may also develop a freezing condition in which the water will become frozen inside the
evaporator coil. This indicates a refrigeration problem or thermostat failure in which case the water cooler
needs to be checked by a qualified technician.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. To remove water spots or rust spots, stainless steel cleaner/polish on a cloth is recommended.
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. Apply stainless steel cleaner/polish to the synthetic abrasive pads and carefully rub the panel with the grain.
4. DO NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasive or petroleum based cleaners. Use of these will void the Murdock
warranty. DO NOT use abrasives on powder coated units.
5. 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. Use clean mild soapy
water for powder coated units.
6. Periodically remove access panel of cooler and clean out inline “Y’’ strainer.
