LOCATION OF UNIT: The Model 1900 bottle filler is a wheelchair accessible drinking water

bottle filling facility. The height dimensions shown meet current ADA requirements. When
installing this unit, local, state or federal codes should be adhered to. If height other than
shown is required, then dimensions must be adjusted accordingly.

SUPPLY LINE: The minimum recommended line size is ¼ OD copper or plastic tubing with
30-90 psi (2-6 ATM) pressure. Where sediment or mineral content is a problem, an inlet filter
is recommended.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS: Inlet is 1/4“ O.D. push-in type fitting. Waste outlet is 1-1/4”
O.D. pipe.

MAINTENANCE: Periodically clean the strainer. Refer to 5874SS Valve Manual for more
information.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

GENERAL NOTES:

1. For all plastic push-in type fitting connections, only connect NSF-61 copper or
plastic tubing. Stainless steel or glass tubing is not recommended. The
following assembly instructions must be followed to ensure a watertight
connection:

a. Cut tubing square and clean.
b. Mark from end of tube the length of insertion (See table below).
c. Push tube into the fitting until it bottoms out.
d. To remove, depress collet and pull tubing out.

Step 1: Drain Setup

This bottle filler uses a reversible drain basin (see installation drawing).
 If the basin protrudes from the front of the unit, it will drain into the electric water

cooler or drinking fountain below it.

 If the basin protrudes from the back of the unit, it must be hard-plumbed to a

waste line with a 1-1/4” O.D. slip joint connection (not supplied).

Lay the drain basin seal (supplied) into the groove on the bottom surface of the bottle
filler, and install the drain basin over it in the desired orientation, using the supplied
#8 x 1/2" pan head screws (qty. 4). Be sure the seal stays seated in its groove.

Front drainage setup:

The drain will not empty into the bowl if the edge of the bowl is further than 6”
away from the wall. In this case, install the drain extender (see “Alternate
Configurations” in installation drawing), using ABS cement (not supplied) to

02/14 Model 1900 Page 2 of 7

seal the drain extender plumbing to the drain basin plumbing. This allows for
bowls that start up to 9” from the wall.

Rear drainage setup:

A cutout for the drain basin must be made in the wall (this cutout is made
most easily in Step 4).

Step 2: Supply Setup:

The 1/4" O.D. supply tubing must be run from the water cooler/fountain to the bottle
filler. For this reason, it is recommended that a hole be cut in the top surface of the
water cooler/fountain directly below where the supply tubing comes out of the bottom
of the bottle filler (see “Typical Electric Water Cooler Installation” in installation
drawing). Check the internal layout of your water cooler or drinking fountain

prior to creating this hole to assure that this is a feasible option. If it is not,
punch the hole wherever the internal layout mandates.

NOTE: It may be desirable to use a grommet (not supplied) in this hole in the water

cooler/fountain to protect against sharp edges.
NOTE: If it is not desirable to cut a hole in the water cooler/fountain, the supply

tubing could alternately be run through the back of the water cooler/fountain, up
through the wall, and out of the wall near the top of the bottle filler.

Shut off the water supply to the water cooler/fountain. Run the supply tubing off of
the water supply of the water cooler/fountain by means of a NSF-61 tee or saddle
valve (not supplied). This connection should be upstream of the dispense valve of
the water cooler/fountain and downstream of any filtration.

Step 3: Bottle Filler Height:

The bottle filler should be situated above the water cooler/fountain such that the
center of the push button is 48” or less from the floor.* If a front drain configuration is
used, it is recommended that the bottle filler be installed as low as possible so that
water draining into the water cooler/fountain bowl will not splash excessively.

Water coolers & fountains with back panels:

Some water coolers and fountains use a back panel that protrudes noticeably
from the wall. If this is the case, the sides of the bottle filler mounting frame
may be cut away to provide a 1/2”-deep relief to account for the back panel
(see “Alternate Configurations” in installation drawing). This allows the bottle
filler to be installed low over such water coolers and fountains.
To do this, temporarily install the mounting frame to the bottle filler using the
supplied #8 x 1/2" flat head screws (qty. 4). Position the bottle filler over the
water cooler/fountain at the desired height (see installation drawing for

installation dimensions at 48” reach height), and mark the mounting frame on

both sides where the top of the back panel ends. Cut the sides away at these
marks, taking care not to cut away the bottle filler mounting tabs as well (see
“Cutting the Mounting Frame Relief Detail” in installation drawing).

Step 4: Bottle Filler Mounting:

Use the supplied (qty. 4 each) drywall anchors (1/4” pilot hole required), spacers,
and #10 x 2” screws (other fasteners, not supplied, may be needed, depending on
wall construction) to secure the bottle filler mounting frame to the wall at the desired

*

48” is the ADA maximum for wheelchairs for obstructed forward reach height. For ADA side reach
compliance, reduce this height to 46” or less (may not be possible with all water coolers or fountains).
