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.

ROUGH-IN DIMENSIONS
Open space rough-in design permits new installation or replacement of existing
fountains and coolers with this Elkay cooler when rough-in is within the outline
shown.
IMPORTANT!
This water cooler has been designed and built to provide water to the user which
has not been altered by materials in the cooler waterways.
he grounding of electrical equipment such as telephone, computers, etc., to
T
ater lines is a common procedure. This grounding may be in the building but
w
ay also occur away from the building. This grounding can cause electrical feed-
m
ack into a water cooler creating an electrolysis which creates a metallic taste or
b
auses an increase in the metal content of the water. This condition is avoidable
c
y installing the cooler using the proper materials as shown below.
b
his water cooler must be connected to the water supply using a dielectric
T
oupling. The cooler is furnished with a non-metallic strainer which meets this
c
equirement.
r
he drain trap which is provided by the installer should also be plastic to
T
ompletely isolate the cooler from the building plumbing system.
