This fixture is intended to dispense water that has been lowered in temperature, but otherwise remains
unchanged by the materials in the drinking fountain. It is common for electrical equipment to be grounded to
water lines either within a structure or away from it. Every attempt should be made to prevent this kind of
grounding from generating electrical feedback into the drinking fountain creating electrolysis. Electrolysis will
cause a metallic taste or cause water metal content to increase.

A dielectric coupling must be used to connect the drinking fountain to the water supply. A nonmetallic coupler is
furnished with this water cooler to meet this requirement.

IMPORTANT:

1. Water Supply Service Stop Valve, Water Connections and Electrical Connections to be supplied by others in
accordance with local codes.

2. Waste is 1-1/4” Outer Diameter. Drinking Fountain water inlet is 3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. Bottle
Filler water inlet is 3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. Water line by others.

3. Completely flush supply lines of all foreign debris before connecting to fixture. Optional water filter (WF1), is
available should any problems with taste, odor, color, or sediment arise from the water supply.

4. Do NOT solder tubes inserted into the bottle filler or the fountain strainer as damage to the o-rings on the
push-in fittings may result.

5. All burrs must be removed from outside of cut tubes before inserting into strainer or other components.

6. Provide electrical service to J-Box to power sensor and solenoid valve.

7. This unit must be grounded per the requirements of applicable electrical codes.

8. Fixture operates within water pressure range of 174 kPa (25 psig) to 724 kPa (105 psig). Acorn Engineering
will not warranty chiller damaged when connected to supply lines with flow pressure lower that 174 kPa (25
psig) or higher than 724 kPa (105 psig). A pressure regulator must be furnished by others on supply line if
inlet pressure is greater than 724 kPa (105 psig).

9. Per UPC 609.10-All building water supply systems in which quick acting valves are installed shall be

provided with devices to absorb the hammer caused by high pressure resulting from the quick closing of the
valve. These pressure-absorbing devices shall be approved mechanical devices. Water pressure-absorbing
devices shall be installed as close as possible to the quick closing valve.

DRINKING FOUNTAINS

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:

1. Read all installation instructions carefully, before proceeding.

2. Carefully remove all fixture components from packaging, preventing scratching or damage. Inspect fixture and

all parts from damages and all parts are bolted on.

3. Provide mounting surface, sufficient to support the fixture and loads on the fixture.

4. Provide rough-ins as shown on the roughing-in and dimensional drawing, including water supply, drain pipe

and gravel drain well. (See rough-in details)

5. Receptacle(s) must be wired to a GFCI protected circuit. Fixture must be earth grounded per NEC (National

Electrical Code).

6. Completely flush water supply lines of all foreign debris, before connecting to the fixture.

DRINKING FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION:

1. Insert mounting frame into the rough-in block out and secure using 1/4”-20 UNC mounting hardware (Provided

by Others).

2. Hang trim panel on mounting frame. Note: The included 1” brackets do not get used with this installation and

the plastic spacers are typically not required and can be discarded.

3. Install the four threaded studs into the Wall Mounting Frame

4. Remove the drinking fountain top by taking out the drain screw and lifting at the front while pulling forward.

Disconnect bubbler tube. Set top aside in a safe place where it will not be damaged. Place the screw in a
secure location where it will not be lost.

5. Slide Fixture over studs and secure with nuts and washers.

6. Assemble P-trap to drain adapter and then assemble to unit with Phillips screws.

7. Make-up 1-1/4” outer diameter waste connection.

8. After thoroughly flushing the 3/8” outer diameter supply line, connect water supply to the multi-line “Y” strainer

assembly. From multi-line “Y” strainer assembly, connect to drinking fountain bubbler.

9. Place drain gasket on drain adapter. Reconnect bubbler tube. Reassemble top to unit by engaging back clip

and securing with screw.

BOTTLE FILLER INSTALLATION:

1. With drinking fountain installed, connect water supply line from multi-line “Y” strainer assembly to bottle filler.

2. Loosen slip nuts to orientate P-trap to desired direction then tighten slip nuts and make up 1-1/4” O.D. waste

connection.

3. FOR -BF4 ONLY Make up power connections to the ground, neutral & hot within the electrical box.

NOTE: BEFORE PERFORMING STEP 4 REFER TO ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION.

4. Test for leaks and proper operation, and then install the bottle filler panel using the water filler bracket and

secure the bottle filler by tightening the screws under the bottle filler.

DRINKING FOUNTAIN START UP:

1. Before connecting power supply, but after thoroughly flushing the supply line, turn on building water supply
and check all connections for leaks.

2. Air within the drinking fountain system or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular bubbler outlet
stream until purged out by incoming water. Covering the bubbler with a clean cup (or similar object) is
recommended when first activating drinking fountain to prevent excessive splashing. Depress front push pad
until steady water stream is achieved.

3. If water flow requires adjustment, insert a slotted narrow blade screwdriver in the hole centered on the
underside of the fixture in the knee clearance area up to the flow regulator. Turning clockwise will increase
flow and turning counterclockwise will decrease flow.

4. Recheck all water connections with water flowing through system.

DRINKING FOUNTAINS

BOTTLE FILLER START UP:

1. Air within the bottle filler system or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular spout outlet stream until

purged out by incoming water. Press and hold pushbutton until steady water stream is achieved.

ŸSENSOR OPERATED: Hold container to be filled just below the sensor in the center of the filler spout

and then move the container upward and water flow will start automatically. When the container is
almost filled, lower the container below the sensor until the water stops flowing. (See label on the bottle
filler.
