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.
1. Water supply 3/8" O.D. unplated copper tube. Waste 1-1/4" IPS. Contractor to supply waste trap and service stop valve in accordance with local
code.
2. Connecting lines to be made of unplated copper and should be thoroughly flushed to remove all foreign matter before being connected to

3. Connect fountain to supply line with a shut-off valve and install a 3/8" unplated copper water line between the valve and the cooler. Remove any
burrs from outside of water line. Push the tubes straight into the fittings until they reach a positive stop, approximately 3/4" (see Fig. 2). DO NOT
SOLDER TUBES INSERTED INTO THE STRAINER AS DAMAGE TO THE O-RINGS MAY RESULT.
4. These products are designed to operate on 20 psig to 105 psig supply line pressure. If inlet pressure is above 105 psig, a pressure regulator must
be installed in the supply line. Any damage caused by reason of connecting this product to supply line pressures lower than 20 psig or higher
than 105 psig is not covered by warranty.

STREAM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Stream height is factory set at
35 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, remove items
7 & 8 (See Fig. 3) and adjust screw on item 17. Clockwise adjustment will raise stream and counter-clockwise adjustment will lower stream. For best adjustment, stream should hit basin approx. 6-1/2" from bubbler.

TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
Orifice Assy: Mineral deposits on orifice can cause water flow to spurt or not regulate.
Mineral deposits may be removed from the orifice with a small round file or
small diameter wire. CAUTION: DO NOT file or cut orifice material.
Stream Regulator: If orifice is clean, regulate flow as in “STREAM HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT”
instructions on page 4. If replacement is necessary, see parts list for correct regulator
part number.
Actuation of Quick Connect Water Fittings: Fountain is provided with lead-free connectors
which utilize an o-ring water seal. To remove tubing from the fitting, relieve
water pressure, push in on the gray collar while pulling on the tubing. (See Fig.2)
To insert tubing, push tube straight into fitting until it reaches a positive stop,
approximately 3/4".
