11. Due to cold waste water, Acorn Engineering recommends that p-trap supplied by installer be
insulated 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 will be installed as close as possible to the quick closing valve.
INSTALLATION:
Choose configuration; Remove and reinstall filler plate, item 23 and reverse drain assembly if
required for alternate mounting configuration.
1. Mount hanger bracket to wall horizontally level as shown in Roughing-In and Dimensional Drawing.
Note: Adjust height of bracket if bubbler outlet height is required to vary from that shown.
WARNING: Hanger Bracket MUST be securely anchored to wall with fasteners sufficient to support
3 times the weight of cooler. If wall can not provide adequate support, order and install optional
fixture support carrier.
2. Remove the bottom cover from the water cooler and set aside in a safe place. Save the screws in a
secure location for re-use in later stages of installation.
3.
Hang the water coolers on the hanger brackets ensuring the bracket tabs engage AND seat in the
slots in the back of the water coolers. NOTE: Hanging of refrigerated unit first is recommended
since it is the heavier of the two. Verify water coolers are level, left to right AND front to back from
bottom of unit. CAUTION
:
The bubbler stream may be adversely affected if units are not square and
level. Bottom of units and louvers should be used as reference to verify unit is square and plumb.
4. Anchor the water coolers to the wall at the lower mounting points in each back panel. Shim lower
mounting points to level unit if necessary.
5. Outlet tube from evaporator has an in-line tee with a tube going to the refrigerated unit's valve and
the "TEE" not connected. Connect the loose supply tube from refrigerated unit to the "TEE".
6. Thoroughly flush the 3/8” O.D. supply line and then connect water cooler to water supply angle stop
valve (by others) with supplied 3/8” O.D. copper tube.
7. Use supplied flexible hose and clamps to connect waste tailpiece from the upper unit to the waste
tailpiece of lower unit and then make up 1-1/4” O.D. p-trap waste connection. Waste p-trap by
others.
