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.

Prior to roughing in, consult with local, state, and federal codes for proper mounting height.

IMPORTANT:

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

2. Provide 4” minimum clear space in front of bottom trim panel and above in-wall chiller to allow for proper
ventilation.

3. Waste is 1-1/4” Outer Diameter. Chiller water inlet is 3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. Chiller water outlet is
3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. 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 from in-wall chiller to drinking
fountain must have adequate insulation.

4. Completely flush supply lines of all foreign debris before connecting to fixture. Water cooler designed to not
cause problems with taste, odor, color, or sediment. Optional Water Filter (WF1), is available should any of
these problems arise from the water supply.

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

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

7. Power supply must be identical in voltage, cycle and phase to that specified on the chiller data plate. Refer to
submittal.

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

9. WARNING: Warranty is voided if installation is not made following current Murdock Mfg. installation
instructions and if components are assembled to the fixture that are not approved by Murdock Mfg.

10. Fixture operates within water pressure range of 174 kPa (25 psig) to 724 kPa (105 psig). Murdock Mfg. will
not warranty chiller damaged when connected to supply lines with flow pressure lower than 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).

11. Due to cold waste water, Murdock Mfg. recommends that waste piping supplied by installer be insulated
appropriately to prevent excessive condensation.

12. 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 that are bolted on.

3. Provide mounting surface, adequate 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. It is common for electrical equipment to be grounded to water lines either within a structure or away; otherwise,

remains unchanged by the materials in the water cooler. Every attempt should be made to prevent this kind of
grounding from generating feedback into the water cooler creating electrolysis. Electrolysis will cause a
metallic taste or cause water content to increase.

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

(National Electrical Code).

7. 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. Place the Chiller Unit onto the basepan of the frame assembly.

3. Hang upper 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.

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

5. 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.

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

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

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

9. After thoroughly flushing the 3/8” outer diameter supply line, connect water supply to in-wall chiller and provide

connection from chiller to ‘the multi-line “Y” strainer assembly. From multi-line “Y” strainer assembly, connect to
drinking fountain bubbler.

10. 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.
