4. Preparation
4.1 General Information
Connect shut-o valve to water
inlet. Do not use a piercing-type
saddle valve for supply water which will reduces
water ow and clogs easier.
Note: This water cooler has been designed and built
to provide water to the user which has not been altered
by materials in the cooler waterways. The grounding of
electrical equipment such as telephones, computers,
etc. to water lines is a common procedure. The
grounding may be in the building but may also occur
away from the building. This grounding can cause
electrical feedback into a water cooler creating an
electrolysis, which creates a metallic taste of causes an
increase in the metal content of the water.
Water cooler must be connected
to the water supply using a
dielectric coupling. The cooler is furnished with a
non-metallic strainer which meets this requirement.
The drain trap which is provided by the installer
should also be plastic to completely isolate the
cooler from the building plumbing system.
2. Install a waste water drain.
a. Waste outlet must be minimum 1-1/4” O.D. for
single units.
b. Pipe should extend 2” (50mm) from wall.
3. Install a grounded, three-prong electrical outlet on a
dedicated circuit.
a. 115 Volt, 60 Hz AC.
b. Install a dedicated 20A fused circuit.
c. Ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection
is required by the National Electrical Code
(NFPA 70). For optimal performance a 20 amp
hospital grade GFCI protection device is
suggested.
To prevent electrical shock, re, or
electrocution, install a grounded
three-prong outlet.
Do not modify supplied power cord.
Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
To ensure proper electrical safety,
the electrical supply circuit
should have GFCI protection and AFCI protection,
as required by federal and local electrical safety
codes and standards.
1. This water cooler is designed for indoor use only
and should not be installed outdoors or in a humid
environment.
A water supply pressure below
20 psi will result in decreased water
ow through the unit and damage to the product. A
pressure above 105 psi will also cause damage to
the product.
2. Make sure the water supply pressure to the product
is between 20 and 105 psi. The ltered units require
40 psi minimum water pressure.
3. Use care when opening and removing the
packaging to prevent damage to the product.
a. Inspect the product for any shipping damage
and report it immediately to the location of
purchase. Installation of a damaged product will
void the warranty.
b. Conrm that all parts have been included for the
proper installation of this product. Contact the
location of purchase if damaged parts are
found.
Make sure no electrical wiring,
potable water inlet pipes, or
drain water outlet pipes will be damaged during
installation of the product. Damage to any of these
items can cause electrical damage, re, and/or water
damage.
4. Shut o the water supply source and disconnect
power to the electrical outlet being used to operate
the product before starting installation.
Mounting hardware to be supplied
by customer.
4.2 Water, Waste, and Electrical Locations
This section contains general information for the
required utilities for the cooler. Use the Location
Drawing in each section to determine the exact location
of the utilities.
1. Install water supply in accordance with local
plumbing codes.
a. Use at least 3/8” O.D. unplated copper tube for
supply line.
b. Pipe should extend 3” (76mm) maximum from
wall.
c. Install a quarter-turn, installer supplied, shut-o
valve.
