INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR M-PM14 PET FOUNTAIN
Important: Read all instructions and refer to local
codes prior to installation.
l
Local soil conditions may require more gravel for
drainage.
l
It is recommended to include a supply stop
appropriate located on the supply line.
l
An in-line PRV installed on the supply line is
recommended to ensure a working water pressure
of 40-60 psi
l
A water filter should be installed on the supply line if
sediment or mineral content is a problem.
l
Supply line must be flushed of all foreign materials
such as pipe dope, chips, etc.
l
Piping and valve must be drained prior to being
subjected to freezing temperatures.
Prepare trench for water supply lines and waste line (if
required). At fountain location prepare hole to trench
depth and large enough for a person to work in. Lay
supply and waste into trench and above ground
allowing extra line to be trimmed during hook up, refer
to details for roughs.
Depending on code and design requirements, drain
may be open, French or sanitary connection. For
French drain, place a minimum of three cubic feet of
gravel under drain opening. Local soil conditions may
require more gravel drainage.
Refill trench and hole, compacting back fill as required.
Leave sufficient depth in hole to accommodate
concrete pour, 4” minimum recommended.
Prepare slab area surrounding fountain spreading and
compacting gravel as necessary. Prepare form
approximately 6” diameter to protect supply and waste
stub outs. Protect exposed valve assembly, tubing and
tube openings to prevent damage to equipment or to
prevent tubes from becoming filled with soil or debris.
