Step 1: Drain Setup
This bottle filler uses a reversible drain basin (see installation drawing).
If the basin protrudes from the front of the unit, it will drain into the electric water
cooler or drinking fountain below it.
If the basin protrudes from the back of the unit, it must be hard-plumbed to a
waste line with a 1-1/4” O.D. slip joint connection (not supplied).
Lay the drain basin seal (supplied) into the groove on the bottom surface of the bottle
filler, and install the drain basin over it in the desired orientation, using the supplied
#8 x 1/2" pan head screws (qty. 4). Be sure the seal stays seated in its groove.
Front drainage setup:
The drain will not empty into the bowl if the edge of the bowl is further than 6”
away from the wall. In this case, install the drain extender (see “Alternate
Configurations” in installation drawing), using ABS cement (not supplied) to
