ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Determine location for fountain and make sure area is level
2. Pump and hose assembly must be done before placing fountain against the wall.
3. Feed the pump and light cords through the hole in the basin leaving enough cord length inside basin to work
with pump and light. Light will rest on top of disk inside basin.
4. Wrap a piece of putty around the cords where you will be placing the stopper.
5. Fit cords into stopper
6. Place a piece of putty inside the length of the slit in the stopper
7. Wrap putty around outside of stopper ensuring that the slit and the cord hole are covered and sealed
8. Press stopper firmly into the hole of basin
9. Place a hose clamp over each end of the length of ⅝” non-kink black tubing
10. Connect one end to the pump water outlet and one end to the copper pipe extended into the inside of the
basin
11. Run a small amount of silicone around the outside edge of the copper pipe protruding from the back of the
basin
12. Place the CPVC elbow over the siliconed copper pipe. Ensure that the open end of the elbow is pointing up.
13. Connect the one end of the 3” length of ⅝” clear tubing to the bottom barb of the Tee connector
14. Secure with a hose clamp
15. Connect the two 14.5” lengths of the ⅝” clear tubing to the other barbs of the Tee connector
16. Secure with hose clamps
17. Insert one end of the 2” length of copper pipe into the bottom of the 3” length of clear tubing
18. Secure with a hose clamp
19. Run another small amount of silicone around the remaining outside edge of the 2” length of copper pipe.
20. Insert the siliconed end of the copper pipe into the open end of the CPVC elbow.
21. Leave the Tee connected hoses accessible
22. Place Basin (FT-118C) into position on the prepared level surface. Make sure the Basin is level.
23. Using a caulking gun, run a bead of silicone along the top of the fountain basin where the second stacker will
be placed.
a. Take care not to use too much silicone to minimize oozing of silicone from between the pieces.
24. Clean off any excess silicone with your finger or a dry rag as quickly as possible.
a. Note – silicone should be allowed to dry according to manufacture’s recommendations prior to fountain
operation
25. Carefully place FT-118B onto the basin
26. Tilt the FT-118B to access the pipes in the back
27. With a hose clamp on each end of ⅝” clear tubing, secure one hose to each pipe and tighten the hose clamps.
28. Gently ease the FT-118B back down onto the FT-118C ensuring that the PVC holes line up and that the top of
the FT-118B is level.
29. Place one of the galvanized steel pipes inside each of the PVC holes in the second stacker and down through
the basin.
30. Clean outside surface of the copper plate provided with a clean, dry towel.

34. The copper spiller will protrude over the top of the sides of the concrete spiller.
35. Place the spiller stop (FT-118E) into the spiller area to lightly cover the water holes.
36. Turn on water fountain to test for leaks before placing top piece.
37. If there are leaks between the concrete and the copper go back to step 30.
38. Using a caulking gun, run a bead of silicone along the top of the second stacker where the top piece will be
placed. Take care not to use too much silicone to minimize oozing of silicone from between the pieces.
a. Make sure to run a bead of silicone all the way around the circumference of the PVC pipe holes to
ensure a water tight seal
39. Clean off any excess silicone with your finger or a dry rag as quickly as possible.
a. Note – silicone should be allowed to dry according to manufacturer’s recommendations prior to
fountain operation
40. Carefully place the FT-118A onto the FT-118B making sure that the protruding steel pipes fit into the PVC
holes.
41. Place the disc (FT-118D) into the basin (FT-118C)
42. Place the egglite onto the disc facing the light at the waterfall
43. Once silicone is dry, fill basin with water.

WINTER CARE AND GENERAL FOUNTAIN INSTRUCTIONS
-W I N T E R C A R E -
Fountain bowls/tops and other fountain components, which collect water, should not be left outside in the
winter since any component, which fills with water and freezes may crack. Likewise components such as
pedestals, which remain in a basin, filled with water, which then freezes, may also crack or crumble. Ideally,
therefore, a fountain should always be stored indoors or in a dry protected place such as a covered porch
away from the elements. However, if a fountain must be left outside:
(1) Remove pump, rubber stoppers, drainpipes, finials, and other small components for storage
indoors. Note that stoppers or drainpipes are removed to allow drainage in the event water accumulates in
any basin.
(2) Raise fountain base from ground with wood strips so that base will not freeze to the ground
surface.
(3) Cover or wrap the fountain with burlap or other absorbent material (old blanket or towel) and
then cover securely with plastic, making sure that water will not accumulate in the basin or other fountain
component and freeze;
(4) Check fountain periodically to insure that plastic is secure and water is not accumulating in any
fountain component.
-G E N E R A L F O U N T A I N T I P S -
Install fountains on a level surface. You will need a properly grounded 110-volt (AC only) GFCI protected
receptacle near the fountain for your pump. All pumps are submersible and must be completely underwater
to function properly. Test all pumps and adjust to full output prior to assembly. It is not recommended that
fountains be placed directly on grass or dirt. Position the channel opening at the base of each fountain
toward the electrical outlet to be used since the pump cord will be threaded through this opening
