4. Preparation
4.1 General Information
1. This water cooler is designed for indoor use only
and should not be installed outdoors or in a humid
environment.
NOTICE
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. Conrm that all parts have been included for the
proper installation of this product. Contact the
location of purchase if damaged parts are found.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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.
WARNING
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.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
