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.
The freeze resistant package must be mounted on an interior wall in a heated area. The room temperature of the
interior heated area must be 50° F (10° C) or higher. The freeze resistant package may be surface or recessed mounted.
If recess mounted the surface of the cover must be ush with the interior wall surface. The package is furnished with
screws for mounting the cover to the box. If the box is recess mounted, do not fasten the top and bottom of the cover
to the box. Use the holes on the front only.
1. Assemble the operating cable to the fountain bracket. (Fountain should be mounted to exterior wall.) The
adjustment nuts should be in the middle of threaded area on the operating cable. See Figure 5. Create a loop in
the cable and thread the free end of the cable through the wall into the freeze resistant box.
2. Connect free end of operating cable to the valve-operating bracket in the freeze resistant box.
3. Remove cable free play by adjusting the jam nuts on the ends of the operating cable. See Figure 6.
4. Connect water line from fountain bubbler into freeze resistant box. The connection to the box uses a quick
connect water tting. Position the water line, in the fountain, to drain back into interior mounted box. Any water left
standing, in the exterior line, can freeze . See Fig. 8.
To insert tubing, push tube straight into tting until it reaches a positive stop. To remove tubing from the ttings,
relieve water pressure, push in on dark gray collar while pulling out on the tubing. See Figure 11.
5. Connect drain and water supply lines to the freeze resistant fountain. Refer to Figure 1 for component positions.
Inline strainer must be used on the inlet water line. See Fig. 10.
Start-up
1. Turn on building water supply and check all connections for leaks. Repair as required.
2. Stream height is factory set at 35 PSI. If stream height needs to be changed adjust the regulator in the freeze
resistant package. Clockwise adjustment raises stream height, counter clockwise adjustment will lower stream.
3. Adjust operating cable as required. Cable system should have a minimal amount of free play to allow for proper
valve operation. If the system is too tight the valve will stay in the on position creating constant water ow. Too
much free play will result in non-operation of the valve with the push-buttons.
4. Note: Water from the drain back tube in the freeze resistant package, will continue to run while the valve is
actuated.
5. After cable system is adjusted properly stuff exible insulation into any openings between the outside wall and the
interior box.
6. Recheck all connections. If all connections are leak free replace cover(s) on the freeze resistant box(es) and
fountain(s).
