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:
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. Hanger
Bracket MUST be securely anchored to wall fasteners sufficient to support 3 times weight of cooler. If
wall can not provide adequate support, order and install optional fixture support carrier.
2. Remove the access panel from the drinking fountain 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 drinking fountain on the hanger bracket, ensuring the bracket tabs engage AND seat in the
slots in the back of the drinking fountain. Verify drinking fountain is level, left to right AND front to back
from bottom of unit. NOTE: The bubbler stream may be adversely affected if unit is not square and level.
Bottom of unit and louvers should be used as reference to verify unit is square and plumb.
4. Anchor drinking fountain to wall at other mounting points in base. Shim lower rear mounting points to
level unit if necessary.
5. Thoroughly flush the 3/8” O.D. supply line and then connect drinking fountain to water supply angle stop
valve (by others) with supplied 3/8” O.D. copper tube.
6. Make up 1-1/4” O.D. p-trap (by others) waste connection.
START UP:
1. Before assembling access panel to drinking fountain, but after thoroughly flushing the supply line and
connecting it to the fixture, turn on building water supply and check all connections for leaks.
2. Air within the d
rinking fountain system or the structure supply piping will cause an irregular bubbler
outlet stream until purged out by incoming water. Covering the bubbler with a clean cup (or similar
object) is recommended when first activating drinking fountain to prevent excessive splashing. Depress
the pushbutton until steady water stream is achieved.
3. If water flow requires adjustment, insert a slotted narrow blade screwdriver in the hole centered on the
underside of the fixture in the knee clearance area up to the flow regulator. Turning clockwise will
increase flow and turning counterclockwise will decrease flow.
4. Recheck all water and drain connections with water flowing through system.
5. Assemble access panel to drinking fountain with screws furnished.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. Periodically remove and clean out auto stop strainer.
2. Do NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasive or petroleum based cleaners. Use of these will void the Acorn
warranty.
3. Exterior panels can be cleaned using mild household detergents or warm, soapy water. Extra care must
be used cleaning chrome plated items and mirror finished stainless steel. They can scratch easily and
should only be cleaned using a clean, soft cloth and mild soap with water or a mild glass cleaner.
