PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
Important: some options may slightly alter installation. To ensure proper installation review the manual
thoroughly and verify rough-ins before beginning work. File this manual wit the owner or maintenance
personnel upon completion of installation.
—
Fixture mounting requirements: industry standard wall construction, adequate to support the fixture
and installer provided wall anchors sufficient to secure the fixture.
—
Receptacle(s) must be wired to a GFCI protected circuit. Fixture must be earth grounded per NEC
(National Electric Code).
—
Inspect fixture an all parts from damages and all parts are bolted on.
IMPORTANT:
1. Waste P-Trap, Water Supply Service Angle Stop Valve and 2” x 4” Electrical Plug-In Receptacle to
be supplied by others in accordance with local codes. A metallic p-trap (by others) must be used for
the drain connection.
2. Provide 4” minimum clear space on fixture sides to allow for proper ventilation through cabinet
louvers.
3. Water supply is 3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. Waste is 1-1/4” Outer Diameter.
4. Completely flush supply lines of all foreign debris before connecting to fixture. Water cooler is
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 coupler as damage to the o-ring may result.
6. All burrs must be removed from outside of cut tubes before inserting into coupler or other
components.
7. Power supply must be identical in voltage, cycle and phase to that specified on the cooler data
plate. Electrical outlet and furnished power cord with plug must be used to supply power to fixture.
Do NOT wire compressor directly to the power supply.
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 Acorn Engineering
installation instructions and if components are assembled to the fixture that is not approved by
Acorn Engineering.
10. Fixture operates within water pressure range of 20 to 105 psig. Acorn Engineering will not warranty
fixtures damaged when connected to supply lines with flow pressure lower than 20 psig or higher
than 105 psig. A pressure regulator must be furnished by others on supply line if inlet pressure is
greater than 105 psig.
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.
