WARNING

NOTE: It is common practice to ground electrical hardware such as telephones, computers and other devices

to available water lines. This can, however , cause electrical feedback in the plumbing circuit, which
results in an “electrolysis” effect occurring in the fountain. This may result in water which has a metallic
taste to it or has a noticeable increase in the metallic content of the water .

When inspecting plumbing circuit, remember the line may be grounded some distance from the
installation, and may occur outside the building or area in which the unit is being installed.

This condition can be avoided (in most cases) by using recommended materials during installation. Any
drain fittings provided by the installer should be made of plastic which will electronically isolate the
fountain from the remainder of the building’s plumbing circuits.

Review these instructions before beginning installation. Be sure that installation
conforms to all plumbing, electrical and other applicable codes.

When installation is complete, ensure these instructions are left in the plastic bag
provided inside the installed unit for future reference.

Service to be performed by authorized service personnel only .

1. Make 13-1/4” (337mm) diameter cutout in desired location
on countertop. Maintain the 7-5/8” (194mm) dimension
from the front edge for ADA compliance. (See Figure 1)

2. Install bubbler assembly to fountain. Align recess in
underside of bubbler with dimple in fountain.

3. Apply caulk (not provided) around cutout and waste
opening.

4. Place fountain over opening and drop in strainer.
(See Figure 2)

5. From underside, position and secure tiedown bracket
using waste fitting. (See Figure 3)

6. Use screws with nuts and washers (provided) to tighten
unit to countertop. Wipe off excess caulking.
(See Figure 3)

7. Determine required length of waste line and cut to
appropriate length. 1-1/4” O.D. waste tube furnished.
1-1/4” slip trap, waste elbow and extension not
provided.

8. Make water supply connections from service stop to the
3/8” O.D. unplated copper tube coming out of the
strainer. Turn on water supply and check for leaks. Newly
installed water supply line should be insulated after leak
check is completed.

CAUTION: DO NOT SOLDER tubes into the
strainer as damage to the o-rings
may result.

9. These products are designed to operate on 20-105
PSIG supply line pressure. If the supply pressure is
above 105 PSIG, a pressure regulator must be installed
in the supply line. Any damage caused by reason of
connecting these products to supply line pressures
lower than 20 PSIG or higher than 105 PSIG is not
covered by warranty.

10. Check stream height from bubbler. Stream height is
factory set at 45-50 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly
from this, adjust the screw on regulator item 16 by using

a small screwdriver through the small hole in the push
button item 14 (See Fig.7). Clockwise adjustment will
raise stream height and counterclockwise movement will
lower stream height. For best adjustment stream should
hit basin approximately 6-1/2” from bubbler.
