GENERAL

Two-level barrier-free stainless steel water cooler has
recessed in-the-wall refrigeration system and stainless steel
grill. All stainless steel polished to a satin finish.

Fountain has contoured basin to minimize splashing. Flexi­Guard

®

safety bubbler and easy to operate, fully functional,
vandal-resistant front push button. Patented* valve and in-line
flow regulators provide constant stream from 20 to 105 psi.
Vandal-resistant bottom cover plates included.

NOTE: Minimum 40 psi supply line pressure required in spe­cial circumstances where both sides of bi-level are in use
simultaneously to ensure adequate stream height. Use of
water filtered unit in this situation is not recommended.

Energy efficient refrigeration system utilizes a combination
tank continuous-tube type evaporator, refrigerant drier, and
capillary tube.

THIS WATER COOLER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIRE­MENTS OF A.D.A. (AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT)
WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED. UNIT IS COMPLIANT IF
INSTALLED IN AN ALCOVE AND IS ALSO COMPLIANT
WHEN MOUNTED ON AN EXPOSED WALL IF A WING
WALL IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT SIDE OR IF A 97258C
APRON IS INSTALLED UNDER THE UPPER UNIT.

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 com-pletely 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 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
NSF/ANSI 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 NSF/ANSI 42. Removes over 97.5% of
free available chlorine which provides Class 1 performance as
tested to NSF/ANSI 42. Provides taste and odor improvement.

This water cooler is certified to NSF/ANSI 61.

COOLING SYSTEM

Motor Compressor: Hermetically sealed, reciprocating type,
115V, 60 Hz single phase. Sealed in lifetime oil supply.

Condenser: Fan cooled, copper tube with aluminum fins. Fan
motor is permanently lubricated.

Cooling Unit: Combination tube-tank type. Self cleansing. Tube
portion is continuous coil of copper tubing. Tank is stainless

5 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY on the refrigeration system of

the unit. Electrical components and water system are war­ranted for 12 months from date of installation. Sample
Certificate available on request.

Elkay Pressure-Type Water Coolers are designed to operate
on 20 psi to 105 psi supply line pressure. If inlet pressure is
above 105 psi, a pressure regulator must be installed in the
supply line. Any damage caused by reason of connecting this
product to supply line pressures lower than 20 psi or higher
than 105 psi is not covered by the warranty.

LNTEM8K MOUNTING FRAME INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut a square rectangular wall opening

37-1/2"
(953mm) 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 assembly and related hardware

from packaging. Attach the two frames together thru
the upright supports with (4) 5/16" x 3/4" (19mm) long
bolts and nuts (provided). Tighten securely.

NOTE: Frame with higher upper channel to be on the
right side.

5. Install the frame assembly squarely in wall opening
with frame upright support edges flush with the fin­ished wall face. Secure the frame to the wall thru
holes with (12) 5/16˝ x 2" (51mm) long lag bolts or
screws (not provided). Tighten securely.

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

6. Attach the chiller shelf support rods to the right
side frame uprights at the second set of holes count­ing from the bottom and to the shelf at the (2) side
holes. Line up the other shelf holes with the frame
bottom holes and fasten the assembly to the wall
using appropriately sized wood screws or bolts and
nuts (provided). (See Figure 2)

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 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.
