Install the Drinking Fountain (cont.)
Install the trap to the nipple. Position and level the fountain onto
the hangers.
NOTE:
The hangers may have to be repositioned. Due to
dimensional variations with vitreous china products, the hangers
may have to be raised or lowered slightly so that there is 3/16
″
(5
mm) from the bottom of the drinking fountain outlet to the face of
the trap inlet.
Using screws, secure the two hangers to the backing through the
remaining two holes in the hanger.
Through the side access, mark the center of the 1/2
″
(13 mm) x 1
″
(25 mm) anchoring slot located on the right-hand back wall of the
fountain.
Remove the fountain from the hangers and install the anchoring
stud.
NOTE:
The machine threaded portion of the anchoring stud should
extend approximately 5/8
″
(16 mm) from the finished wall. The stud
must be centered in the slot.
4. Install the Strainer
Apply a bead of plumbers putty or other sealant around the
underside of the strainer body flange according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Insert the strainer body into the fountain drain hole.
From the underside of the drinking fountain, slide the tapered
gasket onto the strainer body, making sure that the tapered side is
facing up.
Position the fountain onto the hangers so that the anchoring stud
and the opening of the slot line up.
Line up the strainer body with the trap, and thread the strainer
body securely onto the trap.
NOTE:
The fountain must be supported by the hangers only. Do
not position the drain after it has been tightened into the trap, or the
seal may be broken.
