LOCATION OF UNIT: The Model 6518.2FR is suitable for all season out-door use where

temperatures may drop well below freezing. This model is used with HAWS outdoor drinking
fountains and jug fillers. When installing this unit, local state or federal codes should be
adhered to.

SUPPLY LINE: The minimum recommended line size is 1/2” IPS with 30-90 psi (2-6 ATM)
flowing pressure. Where sediment or mineral content in water is a problem, an inlet filter is
recommended.

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS: Inlet valve is 1/2” IPS male, which must be buried below the
frost line. Waste outlet is female 1-1/4” outside diameter tailpiece.

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.

Refer to installation drawing for details. Use pipe joint sealant on all water connections.

STEP 1: Trench for water supply and waste drain lines. The hole should be deep enough to

accommodate the PVC casing and a minimum of 10 cubic feet of porous fill (gravel).
Additional porous fill and drain pipe may be required due to local ground conditions.
Provide a shut-off valve for maintenance. Install the 1/2" supply line and 1-1/4”
sanitary drain, (see Installation Drawing sheet 2 of 3), excavation detailed drawing.
Cut the PVC pipe to fit desired bury depth, but no less than 40" long.

STEP 2: Attach the supply hose assembly to the inlet elbow below the frost line

(see Installation Drawing sheet 3 of 3). Lower the PVC pipe into place. Then with
PVC primer and glue attach the “Y” fitting to the pipe. Pull the supply assembly up
through the casing using the attached metal rod. Flush the line before attaching the
valve.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

STEP 3: Attach the valve assembly to the hose assembly outside of the casing. Pressure

test for leaks: Using the metal rod as a handle, lower the complete valve assembly

into casing. Make sure that the supply hose coils into the bottom of the casing
without any kinks. Keep the hose coiled underneath the valve (see Installation
Drawing sheet 1 of 3). Cap the casing and back-fill the trench. Keep the valve casing
vertical at all times.

STEP 4: Locate the fountain anchor bolts in the proper position. Care must be taken to insure

clearance within the pedestal for the valve casing branch arm waste drain line. Pour
concrete into forms and finish. Let concrete set for at least 24 hours.

STEP 5: Place the fountain onto the mounting pad and secure in place. Pull the valve

assembly out of the valve casing. Feed the supply tubing from the fountain down into
the valve casing branch arm. Reach into the top of the casing and pull the tubing out.
Tubing should now run from pedestal operator down through valve casing arm, then
up valve casing to ground level. Measure and cut the tubing to length, allowing
enough tubing, to reach the bottom of valve casing. Connect tubing from fountain to
the push-in type fitting outlet of the valve. Connect the waste line to the fountain.

STEP 6: Feed t he two 5/32" O.D. t ubing from the valve up to the fountain through the valve

casing branch arm. Connect the tubing with label to the push button. Secure with the
compression nut (hand tight only). Leave the end of the attached breather tube open
to the air.

STEP 7: Turn on the supply line shutoff valve. Test the 6518.2FR valve using the fountain

push button. Check for leaks. Refer to trouble shooting section for any malfunction.

STEP 8: Lower the complete valve assembly back into the casing as in Step 3. T est the flow

once again and make sure that the line water between valve and fountain drains
back to porous fill. Make sure the tubing has no low spots, which might collect water
causing ice plugs in freezing weather.

STEP 9: When the fountain operates satisfactorily, install the access plates. Place a piece of

insulation foam (provided) inside the casing as shown on installation drawing. To
complete installation, cap valve casing and replace valve box cover.
