NO LEAD DESIGN

THIS WATER COOLER COMPLIES WITH THE LEAD-FREE
DEFINITION IN THE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT OF
1986 AND LEAD CONTAMINATION CONTROL ACT OF 1988.

Elkay Water Coolers are manufactured with a waterway sys­tem utilizing copper components and completely lead-free
material. These waterways have no lead because all lead
materials, such as leaded brass, have been removed. All
joints are brazed using silver solder only. No lead solder is
permitted. A strainer with an easily cleanable screen is pro­vided to allow trapping and convenient removal of waterborne
particulate of 140 microns and larger prior to their entry into
the water cooler.

CAPACITIES CHART

**Based on 80°F inlet water temperature.
†Glass filler available at extra cost. Requires factory preparation to receive glass

filler. Order Model ERFPM8FK. Glass filler LK1110 or LK1114 sold separately.
Rated watts shown are based on operational (run) time, in compliance with A.R.I.

Standard 1010 conditions. Specific applications will determine the actual watts
consumed per hour. Watts consumed will be based on number of people
served per hour (usage), ambient temperatures, and inlet water temperature.

IMPORTANT!

NSTALLER PLEASE NOTE:

I

he grounding of electrical equipment such as tele-

T

hone, computers, etc., to water lines is a common

p

rocedure. This grounding may be in the building or

p

ay occur away from the building. This grounding

reating an electrolysis which causes a metallic

c

aste or an increase in the metal content of the water.

his condition is avoidable by using the proper

RFPM8K MOUNTING FRAME INSTRUCTIONS

E

1. Cut a square rectangular wall opening 18-3/4"

(476mm) W x 37-3/4" (959mm) H and 4-1/2"
(114mm) above the floor line. These dimensions
are required to obtain proper rim and bubbler
heights for compliance with ANSI standard
A117.1. (See Figure 2)

2. Reinforce the wall opening on all sides so that it

will adequately support the water fountain. This
reinforcement must support up to 150 lbs static
load and provide a means for securing the frame
assembly in place.

NOTE: Building construction must allow for ade­quate air flow on both sides and top of remote
chiller unit. Minimum of 4" (102mm) is required.
(See Figures 1 & 2)

3. Install plumbing and electrical rough-ins.

See Figure 1 for location of the supply water inlet
to chiller and for the location of the waste water
outlet. A junction box for a (3) wire, 10 amp branch
circuit is provided on the inside of the chiller.
(Standard 120 Volts, 60 Hz and single phase) See
Figure 2 for the electrical inlet location.

4. Remove frame and related hardware from

packaging. Release the two shelf rods by cutting
cable ties. Install the frame squarely in wall
opening with frame upright edges flush with the
finished wall face. (See Figure 2) Place shelf
inside frame and line up the (2) holes on each.
Insert loose ends of rods into holes on sides of
shelf panel. Using appropriately sized wood
screws (not provided), fasten the shelf and frame
to bottom of wall opening. (See Figure 2) Secure
the frame sides and top to the wall using (10)
5/16" x 2" lag bolts or screws (not provided).

NOTE: Be sure that frame is squared in location.
Do not use less than the required screw quantity
and size.
