PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
1. Read all installation instructions carefully, before proceeding.
2. Carefully remove fixture from packaging, preventing scratching or damage.
3. Provide mounting surface, sufficient to support the fixture and loads on the fixture.
4. Provide rough-ins as shown on the roughing-in and dimensional drawing, including water supply, drain pipe
and gravel drain well. (See page 2 for rough-in details)
5. Unlock and swing open the hinged door assembly to expose internal components. Disconnect 1/4” O.D.
polyethylene tube and 5/8” O.D. overflow waste connection from the hinged door assembly. Then remove the
hinged door assembly from mounting frame by unlatching insert clip hinges.
8. Completely flush water supply lines of all foreign debris, before connecting to the fixture.
INSTALLATION: (see drainage & mounting roughing-in pg. 2 or 3)
1. Insert mounting frame into the rough-in block out and secure using 1/4-20 UNC mounting hardware
(Provided by others)
2. Make up the 3/8” O.D. Copper inlet supply connection.
3. Loosen slip nuts to orientate P-trap to desired direction then tighten slip nuts and make up 1-1/4” O.D. waste
connection.
4. Attach hinged door assembly to mounting frame by latching insert clip hinges. Make necessary adjustments to
hinges to prevent door from rubbing on wall when opening. Refer to door hinge manufacture for adjustment
instructions.
4.FOR -BF4 ONLY Make up power connections to the ground, neutral & hot within the electrical box.
NOTE: BEFORE PERFORMING STEP 5 REFER TO ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION ON PAGE 6.
5. Test for leaks and proper operation, and then install the door using the hinges provided.
START UP:
Air within the bottle filler system or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular spout outlet stream until
purged out by incoming water. Press and hold pushbutton until steady water stream is achieved.
SENSOR OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Hold container to be filled just below the sensor in the center of the filler spout and then move the container
upward and water flow will start automatically. When the container is almost filled, lower the container below
the sensor until the water stops flowing. (see label on the bottle filler)

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.

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.
SENSOR TROUBLE SHOOTING:
1. IF LIGHT WITHIN SENSOR DOES NOT FLASH ONCE WHEN USER IS WITHIN RANGE:
a. Verify 9VDC output of battery pack.
b. Replace defective batteries.
c. Sensor in “Security Mode” after 30 seconds of constant detection. Remove source of
detection and wait 30 seconds before checking.
d. Sensor is picking up a highly reflective surface. Eliminate cause of reflection and wait 30
seconds before checking.
2. IF LIGHT WITHIN SENSOR LENS FLASHES ONCE WHEN THE USER IS WITHIN RANGE:
a. Repair bad connection from sensor to solenoid.
b. There is debris or scale in the solenoid assembly. Remove solenoid, pull out plunger and
spring. Clean with scale remover solution.
c. There is debris or scale in center or two holes in convolution of the water diaphragm.
Remove and clean.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
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:
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.
6. Periodically remove access panel of cooler and clean out inline “Y’’ strainer
