INST ALLA TION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fountains using the MPW Mounting Plate refer to Fig's. 7 or 8 for hanger bracket location and rough-in

dimensions.

NOTE: Review separate installation instructions for details of the MPW Mounting Plate.

Fountains using the MP20 Wall Plate Assy. refer to Fig's. 5 or 6 for rough-in dimensions.

2. Shown dimensions pertain to installation location (framing must support up to 150 lbs. weight

for single fountain and 300 lbs. for dual fountains). These dimensions are required for compliance
with ANSI S t andard A117.0.

3. Install rough-in plumbing as shown in Fig’s. 3,4,5,6,7, or 8. Waste line should extend a minimum of
2" (51mm) thru the back panel. Run supply water inlet line thru back panel. Install a service stop
(not provided). Turn on supply water and flush thoroughly.

4. Installing back panel.

EDFP217C: Refer to Fig. 11 for placement of braces onto back panel.

Place the upper edge of the panel above hanger bracket. Slide the panel down until it engages the
hanger bracket. Be sure back panel is firmly engaged before releasing it.
EDFP217C w/MP20 Wall Plate Assy.: Place the upper edge of the panel above mounting plate on the
wall. Slide the panel down until it engages the hanger. Be sure back panel is firmly engaged
before releasing it.

5. Remove bottom access panel from fountain basin and save the screws.

EDFP217C: Install the fountain to the back panel and wall using (4) 5/16" x 2.00" long lag bolts and
washers (NOT PROVIDED).
EDFP217C w/MPW Mounting Plate: Install the fountain to the back panel and wall using (4) 5/16 “ x 6”

long threaded rods, washers, and nuts (provided). Tighten securely.

EDFP217C w/MP20 Wall Plate Assy.: Install the fountain to the back panel using (4) 5/16" x 1.00" long
bolts and washers (provided) thru holes in back panel. Tighten securely.
(NOTE: Fasteners for securing Wall Plate Assy. to the the wall are not provided).

6. Remove elbow from end of p-trap and attach it to drain tube. Reattach elbow to p-trap and cut waste
tube to required length using plumbing hardware and trap as a guide. Install hardware and trap.
Tighten securely.

7. Make water supply connections from service stop to the fountain strainer. Insert the water inlet line
into the inlet side of strainer until it reaches a positive stop - about 3/4" (See Fig. 2). Turn on water
supply and check for leaks. Newly installed water supply line
should be insulated after leak check is completed. DO NOT SOLDER TUBES INSERTED

INTO THE STRAINER AS DAMAGE TO THE O-RINGS MA Y RESULT .

8. Check stream height from bubbler. Stream height is factory set at 35 PSI. If supply pressure varies

greatly from this, adjust the screw on regulator, item 10 by using a small screwdriver through the small
hole in the push button item 3 (See Fig. 13). Clockwise adjustment will raise stream height and
counter-clockwise will lower stream height. For best adjustment stream height should hit basin
approximately 6-1/2" (165mm) from bubbler.

9. These products are designed to operate on 20-105 PSIG supply line pressure. If inlet 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 pressure lower than 20 PSIG or higher than
105 PSIG is not covered by warranty.

10. Replace bottom access panel to fountain basin using screws provided. Tighten securely.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

1. Orifice Assy: Mineral deposits on orifice can cause water flow to spurt or not regulate. Mineral deposits

maybe removed from orifice with a small round file not over 1/8" diamter or a small diameter wire.

CAUTION: Do not file or cut orifice materials.

2. Stream Regulator: If orifice is free of material deposits, regulate flow according to instruction 8 stated above.

3. Actuation of Quick Connect Water Fittings: Cooler is provided with lead-free connectors which utilize an

o-ring water seal. To remove tubing from the fitting, relieve water pressure, push in on the gray collar
while pulling on the tubing (See Fig. 2). To insert tubing, push tube straight into the fitting until it reaches
a positive stop, approximately 3/4".
