THIS WATER COOLER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIRE­MENTS OF A.D.A. (AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT)
WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED.

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 LNFE8C 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.

WATERSENTRY®FILTER SYSTEM

Elkay LNFE8C Water Coolers are equipped with the
WaterSentry VII Filter System, which is tested and certified by
NSF International. The WaterSentry VII Filter System reduces
cysts such as cryptosporidium and giardia by 99.99%. Tested
to ANSI/NSF Standard 53 yields a reduction of soluble and in­soluble lead content to less than 0.015mg/l. This translates to
lead reduction levels of 93% to 99%. Class 1 particulate
reduction as tested per ANSI/NSF 42. Removes over 97.5% of
free available chlorine which provides Class 1 performance as
tested to ANSI/NSF 42. Provides taste and odor improvement.

This water cooler is classified by Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. in accordance with ANSI/NSF61,
Section 9-1997b.

IMPORTANT!

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 water cooler,
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 below.

To minimize electrically induced corrosion, all water
coolers should be connected to the water supply
using an electrically isolating coupling. This cooler is
furnished with non-metallic filter which meets this
requirement.

The drain fittings which are provided by the installer
should also be plastic to electrically isolate the cooler
from the building plumbing system.

LNFE8C MOUNTING FRAME INSTRUCTIONS

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

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

3. Install plumbing and electrical rough-ins.

4.Remove frame and related hardware from

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)

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.

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"x2" 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.
