The Elkay MLP200 is installed inside the wall cavity before the wall is finished, so it's ready to receive the bi-level fixture later. Professional installation by a licensed plumber or contractor is strongly recommended to ensure the carrier is anchored correctly and set to the right mounting height.
Key Installation Requirements:
- In-wall (behind the finished wall) installation
- Framed wall cavity, 2" x 4" minimum
- Load-bearing surface for anchoring the carrier
- No electrical connection required for the carrier
Important Notes Before Installing the MLP200:
- The hanger bracket is furnished with the cooler, not the carrier. Check the cooler's rough-in for the correct bracket height.
- After installation, the U-bolts and threaded rods may need to be trimmed.
- Check the installation for compliance with plumbing, electrical, and other applicable codes.
- Always refer to the official Elkay MLP200 Spec Sheet for dimensions and product details.
Basic Installation Overview:
- Confirm your fixture is a compatible bi-level on-wall model and review its rough-in dimensions.
- Position the upper and lower mounting plates behind the finished wall according to the cooler’s rough-in dimensions (reduce the overall installation height by 3" for a children’s ADA cooler).
- Secure the carrier to the load-bearing structure using all provided mounting holes and hardware.
- Finish the wall, then hang the bi-level fixture on its hanger bracket according to the fixture's installation manual.

Maintenance:
- Periodically check that the mounted fixture sits firmly on the carrier, and have the mounting hardware re-tightened if there's any movement.
- All service should be performed by an authorized service person, following Elkay's guidelines for repairs and replacement parts.
