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.

WALL FRAME INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE
RC MODELS DRINKING FOUNTAIN
(with and without cup dispenser)
1. Cut a wall opening 24 7/8 W x 48 1/2 H (with cup dispenser), 17 1/8 W x 48 1/2 H
(without cup dispenser). The bottom edge of the opening should be approx. 16 1/8
above the floor(See Fig. 3 with cup dispenser), (See Fig. 4 without cup dispenser).
(check local codes for height requirement).
2. After opening is completed, reinforce opening on all sides so that it may adequately
support watercooler which weighs up to 150 lbs. and also provides a means of securing
Wall Frame in place. (Install a wall stud indicated on Fig. 3 (with cup dispenser).
NOTE: Building construction must allow for adequate airflow on both sides and top of
chiller unit. 4 minimum required.
3. Install rough plumbing to fountain. See Fig. 5 for location of supply water inlet to
chiller and location of waste water outlet.
*For cup dispenser model without glass filler plumbing, continue with step no. 5.
4. (Cup dispenser Models) Install rough plumbing to cup dispenser. See Fig. 13 for
location of waste water outlet.
5. Cut plastic ties holding chiller shelf support rods to framework.
6. Install wall frame assembly in wall opening with front edge of frame flush with
finished wall face. Secure frame through holes in top and sides to wall support
members with 5/16 diameter fasteners (bolts or lag screws) as required by wall
constructions. (14) bolts/screws required. CAUTION: DO NOT USE LESS THAN
REQUIRED QUANTITY AND SIZE (DIAMETER) OF FASTENERS.
FIG. 3
7. Install chiller shelf. Place shelf on lower frame member and attach support rods.
Secure front edge of the frame and wall construction using two 5/16 diameter lag
screws or bolts. Tighten securely.
8. Install electrical conduit. Fig. 5 shows electrical conduit connection location.
9. Now you are ready to install fountains

* NOTE If wall opening height has been adjusted
to meet local codes (see Step No. 1 of installation instructions), height dimensions must be
adjusted accordingly.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE
RC MODELS DRINKING FOUNTAIN
(refrigerated and non-refrigerated)
1. Familiarize yourself with the RC Wallframe which should already be in place in the wall. If not, refer to the RC Wallframe Installation
Instructions before proceeding.
2. Determine location of rough plumbing. At this point, you should decide which style trap you plan to use. For easier installation, we
recommend the use of a swivel trap.
3. Install the basin (See Fig. 6). Hold the basin flush against the wall, positioning the top edge just above the upper edge of the wallframe.
Then slide the basin down slowly until it engages the hanger bracket. Be sure the basin is firmly engaged before releasing it.
4. Finish securing basin in place. Align the brackets at the bottom of the basin with the bracket on the frame. Fasten the brackets together
using screws and speednuts (provided with fountain).
5. Install tailpiece assembly. Slide the slip nut and gasket from the trap onto the tailpiece. Insert the tailpiece assembly into the trap and
align its other end with the drain hole in the basin. Place rubber gasket between the tailpiece assembly and the basin, then screw in the
drain plug from above. Tighten the drain plug. Tighten slip nut and swivel joint. Snap the strainer plate into the drain plug.
6. Install a service stop (not provided) on the supply water inlet line. Turn on supply water and flush thoroughly.
7. Install refrigeration unit. Slide refrigeration unit into the wallframe and position tight against left side and flush with the front edge of
wallframe. WARNING: Adequate space must be maintained behind the refrigeration unit for air circulation.
8. Water supply connections (See Fig 7 & 8)
A. RC8A Models Connect service stop to tube marked Water Inlet on remote chiller. Make connection from chiller Cold Water Outlet
tube to regulator valve assembly using the provided elbow and strainer.
B. RC12A Models Connect service stop to precooler/tailpiece assembly inlet tube. Connect precooler/tailpiece assembly outlet tube to
tube marked Water Inlet on remote chiller. Make connection from chiller Cold Water Outlet tube to regulator valve assembly using the
provided elbow and strainer.
9. GF Model Only. Connect glass filler line to outlet on tee located between strainer and regulator valve assembly. (See Fig. 7A & 8A)
10. Open service stop and operate push button to purge air. Check thoroughly for leaks.
11. Check stream height from bubbler. Stream height is factory set at 45 50 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, remove
items 17 & 18 and adjust screw on regulator (item 14). Clockwise adjustment will raise stream height and CCW adjustment will lower
stream height. For best adjustment, stream height should be approximately 1-1/2 (38mm) above the bubbler guard. (See Fig. 15)
12. Connect refrigeration unit to electrical supply and check for proper operation. WARNING: Adequate space must be maintained behind
the refrigeration unit for air circulation.
13. Attach regulator holder (item 13) to grill (item 3) with hex nut (item 16). Hold grill and engage angle on top edge of grill with lower edge
of basin. Swing bottom of grill into place against the wall and securing grill mounting screws (provided).
