4. Do NOT solder tubes inserted into the bottle filler or the fountain strainer as damage to the o-rings on the
push-in fittings may result.
1. Water Supply Service Stop Valve, Water Connections and Electrical Connections to be supplied by others in
accordance with local codes.
2. Waste is 1-1/4” Outer Diameter. Drinking Fountain water inlet is 3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. Bottle
Filler water inlet is 3/8” Outer Diameter copper tube. Water line by others.
3. Completely flush supply lines of all foreign debris before connecting to fixture. Optional water filter (WF1), is
available should any problems with taste, odor, color, or sediment arise from the water supply.
6. Provide electrical service to J-Box to power sensor and solenoid valve.
7. This unit must be grounded per the requirements of applicable electrical codes.
PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
1. Read all installation instructions carefully, before proceeding.
8. Fixture operates within water pressure range of 174 kPa (25 psig) to 724 kPa (105 psig). Acorn Engineering
will not warranty chiller damaged when connected to supply lines with flow pressure lower that 174 kPa (25
psig) or higher than 724 kPa (105 psig). A pressure regulator must be furnished by others on supply line if
inlet pressure is greater than 724 kPa (105 psig).
2. Carefully remove all fixture components from packaging, preventing scratching or damage. Inspect fixture and
all parts from damages and all parts are bolted on.
3. Provide mounting surface, sufficient to support the fixture and loads on the fixture.
4. Provide rough-ins as shown on the roughing-in and dimensional drawing, including water supply, drain pipe
and gravel drain well. (See rough-in details)
9.
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 shall be installed as close as possible to the quick closing valve.
5. Receptacle(s) must be wired to a GFCI protected circuit. Fixture must be earth grounded per NEC (National
Electrical Code).
5. All burrs must be removed from outside of cut tubes before inserting into strainer or other components.
6. Completely flush water supply lines of all foreign debris, before connecting to the fixture.
DRINKING FOUNTAIN INSTALLATION:
1. Insert mounting frame into the rough-in block out and secure using 1/4”-20 UNC mounting hardware (Provided
by Others).
2. Hang trim panel on mounting frame. Note: The included 1” brackets do not get used with this installation and
the plastic spacers are typically not required and can be discarded.
4. Remove the drinking fountain top by taking out the drain screw and lifting at the front while pulling forward.
Disconnect bubbler tube. Set top aside in a safe place where it will not be damaged. Place the screw in a
secure location where it will not be lost.
8. After thoroughly flushing the 3/8” outer diameter supply line, connect water supply to the multi-line “Y” strainer
assembly. From multi-line “Y” strainer assembly, connect to drinking fountain bubbler.
6. Assemble P-trap to drain adapter and then assemble to unit with Phillips screws.
9. Place drain gasket on drain adapter. Reconnect bubbler tube. Reassemble top to unit by engaging back clip
and securing with screw.
7. Make-up 1-1/4” outer diameter waste connection.
3. Install the four threaded studs into the Wall Mounting Frame
5. Slide Fixture over studs and secure with nuts and washers.
