WATER CONNECTION INSTALLATION
1. Ensure proper ventilation by allowing 75 mm clearance on each side of the fountain.
2. Minimum water pressure is 100 kPa and maximum is 700 kPa.
3. The recommended maximum water inlet temperature is 38°C.
4. Install a 40 mm waste trap onto the waste outlet on the rear of the fountain - not supplied.
5. Water in connection is secured via a
1/2
” kinko nut and olive into the stainless-steel connection on the rear of the
unit. It is recommended that a
1/2
” shut off valve is installed at this point for ease of future maintenance.
6. Turn on water supply and hold down bubbler to purge the system of air until a steady stream of water comes
from the tap.
7. For models equipped with a glass filler, please remove the white tubing from the hole and then assemble the glass filler
by placing the neck into the hole on the top of the lid, as shown below. Swivel glass filler to be over top of unit.
8. The bubbler needs to be adjusted for the correct water flow in relation to the local water pressure. On the side
of the bubbler is an inner and an outer screw. Once you have established water flow, adjust the inner screw
until the stream is in the centre of the stainless-steel top.
9. Check all connections for water leaks.
10. Flush fresh mains water through the unit for five minutes to ensure any residual water from testing is cleared.
11. Plug the fountain into the building electrical supply. The unit will start automatically.
DRAIN INSTALLATION
NOTE: Pipe jointing is a trade skill and should be executed only by qualified persons. Reece recommends installing
a union as part of the PVC drain assembly to enable ease of disconnection if the fountain requires service.
1. Make sure all connections are cleaned and dry.*
2. Mark waste pipe at a distance equivalent to full depth once inserted into the drain fitting on the unit.
3. Apply Watermark certificated Type N solvent cement on the end of the Watermarked AS/NZS 1260 40mm PVC
pipe and insert into the drain outlet fitting. Firstly to the inside of the drinking fountain drain fitting and then to
the external surface of the pipe end (marked area). (See Figure.1) **
4. Please ensure the solvent cement is applied in full even coats to all applicable surfaces.
5. Follow the direction line in figure.1 to connect the PVC pipe to the full depth of the socket and hold the bond
joint in position for at least 30 seconds.
6. Do not disturb for 5 minutes and allow 24 hours curing before testing. (See Figure.2)
* Reece suggests using PVC priming fluid to prime PVC pipe prior to application of PCB pipe cement for all
installations.
** Using both pipe cement type N and type P are both acceptable. Pipe cement type P is recommended in high
pressure application for bonding, while type N is for the non-pressure application. Reece recommends using pipe
cement type N complying with AS/NZS3879 for this application.
Please be aware that the connection should be done by an Australian certified plumber.
The socket is adaptable to Watermarked AS/NZS 1260 40mm PVC pipe fitting as per the WMTS105 documentation.
REMOVING FROM SERVICE
1. Disconnect the power supply cord.
2. Disconnect the water supply.
3. Remove drain assembly from rear of the fountain.
4. Remove bubbler valve and if present, remove glass filler spout from base by firmly pulling upwards away from
the drinking fountain.
5. Always drain all water when freezing temperatures are anticipated and before shipping the fountain.
