Valve Assembly for OmniMaster 8 –

 

1.

 

Install standpipe into hole in trough. Rubber washer 

is to be on inside of trough. Tighten nut hand tight 
to allow for adjustment after valve assembly is 
installed. 

2.

 

Feed hose up through standpipe and attach to valve 
bracket. The hose may be shortened if necessary. 
Tighten the hose clamp securely to prevent leaks. 

3.

 

The lower front peg on valve bracket should be 
inserted into hole on standpipe first. Compress valve 
clip to snap in opposite hole on standpipe. 

4.

 

Remove pin from valve assembly. 

5.

 

Install float assembly on valve assembly using 
previously removed pin.  

6.

 

Rotate standpipe in trough until center of float 
aligns with center of trough. DO NOT allow float to 
be too close to cover when installed as this may 
hamper valve performance. 

7.

 

Tighten standpipe nut hand tight plus one-quarter 
turn. Use no joint compound for this fitting.

Cable Heater

 – Uncoil cable heater and loop around the 

valve. Attach the remaining part of the cable heater to the water supply, as 

far down the riser tube as possible with the cable twist ties provided. This 

heater is water tight, but should not be immersed in water. Heater may 

cross over itself, but should not be tightened at those locations.

 

CAUTION: Installation must not cause any strain on heater 

wiring connections. Avoid heater damage caused by hot spots 

due to its leads lying  too  close to each other. Also, do not 

wrap additional insulation around heater.

Electrical Connection

  -  The electrical installation should be made 

and maintained by a qualified electrician conforming to national and local 

codes. A means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed 

wiring  in accordance with the wiring rules. For wiring connections, see 

wiring diagram.   Make connections according to the wiring diagram below. 

WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER IF THE WATER SUPPLY IS TO BE SHUT OFF FOR AN 
EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME.  FAILURE TO TURN OFF POWER CAN RESULT IN 
DAMAGE TO THE WATERING FOUNTAIN.
