INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

ALL SERVICE TO BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSON

IMPORTANT! INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE.

THE GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SUCH AS TELEPHONE, COMPUTERS, ETC. TO WATER LINES
IS A COMMON PROCEDURE. THIS GROUNDING MAY BE IN THE BUILDING OR MAY OCCUR AWAY FROM THE
BUILDING. THIS GROUNDING CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL FEEDBACK INTO A FOUNTAIN, CREATING AN
ELECTROLYSIS WHICH CAUSES A METALLIC TASTE OR AN INCREASE IN THE METAL CONTENT OF THE

WATER. THIS CONDITION IS AVOIDABLE BY USING THE PROPER MATERIALS AS INDICATED. ANY DRAIN
FITTINGS PROVIDED BY THE INSTALLER SHOULD BE MADE OF PLASTIC TO ELECTRICALLY ISOLATE THE

FOUNTAIN FROM THE BUILDING PLUMBING SYSTEM.

1. This fountain is to be mounted on a smooth, at, nished surface with adequate support structure. NOTE: Mounting structure
must be capable of supporting 300 lb. load on fountain.

2. Refer to rough-in for plumbing.

3. Install shut-o󰀨 valve on water supply. (Valve not furnished)

4. Locate and install fountain using 3/8" minimum fasteners, (Fasteners not furnished).

5. Prior to installing the bottle ller to the center mounting position of fountain, insert drain pipe (Item #11) by positioning the
short end of drain pipe through mounting plate of bottle ller. Next, place the aesthetic collar (Item # 26) onto the center
mounting position of the fountain ensuring the vertical edge of the collar is upright and the curved edge sits below the
mounting surface. Mount bottle ller to fountain with collar centered between the two pieces. Secure with supplied hardware.

6. Prior to installing the bottle to the arm mount of fountain, insert the drain pipe (Item #10) into the arm tunnel and adjust
drain to lean to the left side of the arm when facing the button. Next, place the aesthetic collar (Item # 26) onto the arm
mounting position of the fountain ensuring the vertical edge of the collar is upright and the curved edge sits below the
mounting surface. Mount bottle ller to arm with collar centered between the two pieces. Install bottle ller to arm being
sure drain tube is above mounting plate of ller. Secure ller to fountain with supplied hardware.

7. Connect fountain to supply line with a shut-o󰀨 valve and install a 3/8" unplated copper water line between the valve and the
fountain. Remove any burrs from outside of water line. Push the tubes straight into the ttings until they reach a positive
stop, approximately 3/4" (See Fig. 2). DO NOT SOLDER TUBES INSERTED INTO PLASTIC FITTINGS AS DAMAGE TO

THE O-RINGS MAY RESULT.

8. Water supply 3/8" O.D. unplated copper tube. Waste 1-1/2" IPS. Contractor to supply waste trap and service stop valve in

accordance with local code.

9. Connect water supply and fountain drain. Connect drain waste "Tee" to fountain drain tubes. Connect outlet of "Tee" to
drainage system. Water connection and drain must comply with local codes.

10.Turn on water supply and check all connections for leaks. Threaded drain ttings may require thread sealer to create a
leak free connection. Apply thread sealer to threaded connection ttings only, not the slip connection ttings.

CAUTION: This fountain is rated for inlet water pressure of 20-105 PSI. A pressure reducing regulator should be used if
the inlet water supply exceeds 105 PSI. Any damage caused by reason of connecting this product to supply
line pressures lower than 20 PSI or higher than 105 PSI is not covered by warranty.

11. Connecting lines to be made of unplated copper and should be thoroughly ushed to remove all foreign matter before being

connected to fountain. This fountain is manufactured in such a manner that it does not in any way cause taste, odor, color,

or sediment problems.
