A documented site survey must be conducted prior to installing a cooler in a facility. Copies of all
surveys should be held at the installer’s premises. The purpose of the survey is to ensure that the cooler
is installed in a suitable location.
Fittings
All fittings and piping used to attach the water cooler to the water supply must be approved to
the relevant local standards.
These fittings can be purchased from Oasis International or Oasis Europe can refer you to
reputable suppliers of Point-of-Use parts in your market place.
Installation
Each installation should include the following components:
•
Pressure limiting devices should be installed to protect the cooler and supply tubing from water
pressure surges in locations where they may occur.
•
Each cooler should have an independent isolating valve. This is intended so that the cooler can
be replaced without draining long lengths of piping.
EUROPE ONLY
In accordance with EPDWA guidelines, the installation must also include the following additional
components:
-
A non return valve must be fitted at the point of connection to the water supply.
-
An anti leak device must be fitted at the point of connection to the water supply
downstream of the isolating and non return valves.
The following general guidelines apply to the water supply line:
•
Pipework should avoid light fittings and electrical and gas piping
•
Pipework in public view should be securely and neatly fixed.
•
All pipework should be accessible and clearly labeled.
•
