The Elkay EF3000VRBMC is designed for surface or recessed in-wall mounting near a non-filtered water cooler, drinking fountain or bottle filling station, connecting directly to the unit's cold water supply. Installation by a licensed plumber or authorized service person is recommended.
Key Installation Requirements:
- Indoor location near the water dispenser with an accessible cold water supply line
- Water supply pressure of 20–105 PSI and water temperature of 40–100°F
- Vertical, level mounting with the arrow on the water monitor valve pointing up
- Wall opening for water lines, or a cutout slightly larger than the enclosure for recessed mounting
- Mounting screws, anchors and fasteners, plus a level, pencil, safety glasses and gloves (not included)
Important Notes Before Installing the EF3000VRBMC:
- For indoor applications and cold water lines only.
- Shut off the water and electricity to the water dispenser before starting.
- Protection for water lines routed through the knockouts is not included; add grommets or sleeves to prevent cutting.
- Keep the included pinned Torx bit for future filter changes with the Elkay 51300C WaterSentry Plus Filter.
- Always refer to the official Elkay EF3000VRBMC Spec Sheet for dimensions, operating ranges and certifications.
Basic Installation Overview:
- Shut off the water and electricity to the dispenser, then open the box by lifting the bottom cover and sliding it up.
- Hold the box level and vertical on the wall, trace the inside opening and mounting holes, and cut an opening for the water lines (or a recess for in-wall mounting).
- Remove any protective covering and fasten the box to the wall.
- Disconnect the dispenser's water inlet and connect it to the copper inlet tube on the filter head, then run the poly tubing from the dispenser inlet to the flow meter outlet fitting.
- Remove the red cap from the filter and turn it clockwise onto the filter head, then insert the 2 AA batteries into the monitor and reattach it so it shows through the front window.
- Turn on the water, run water to purge air and carbon fines, check all connections for leaks, and attach the front cover with the Torx screw.
