SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL
Remote type, electric refrigerated, water chiller unit. Chilling
capacity of 5.7 gallons per hour of 50°F drinking water, based
upon 80°F inlet water and 90°F ambient.
Compact, highly efficient water chiller units are designed for
use with any drinking fountain. Also connects to a bubbler,
glass filler or cold water dispenser. Converts a fountain into
a water cooler. Installs directly under fountain or other
application, or may be located in a service area to serve a
remote outlet (within 15 feet of chiller recommended). Also

NO LEAD DESIGN
THIS WATER CHILLER COMPLIES WITH THE LEAD-FREE
DEFINITION IN THE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT OF 1986
AND LEAD CONTAMINATION CONTROL ACT OF 1988.
Elkay Water Chillers are manufactured with a waterway system
utilizing copper components and completely lead-free materials.
These waterways have no lead because all lead-containing
materials, such as leaded brass, have been removed. All joints
are brazed using silver solder only. No lead solder is permitted.
