The Oasis PG8AC is a wall-mounted refrigerated drinking fountain with four push pads, delivering 8.0 GPH of chilled water.
Before You Begin
- Tools: Power drill with pilot bit, T15 Torx driver, slotted screwdriver, bubble level, tape measure, and a tool for cutting plastic pipe.
- Not included: 4 wall anchors, a 1-1/4" P-trap, and a water shut-off valve.
- Plumbing: Provide a 3/8" water supply stub-out and a 1-1/4" IPS drain stub-out. Maximum supply pressure is 100 PSI. Use a regulator if pressure spikes could exceed it.
- Electrical and ventilation: A 20A minimum GFCI-protected outlet is required. Allow 4" of clearance per side for ventilation.
- Codes and reference: Some states require a licensed plumber. Check local codes for mounting height, and see the installation manual for the rough-in diagram.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Install the hanger bracket: Flush the building water supply line first. Then mount the hanger bracket on the wall with 2 anchors, making sure it's level.
- Hang the unit: Hang the fountain on the bracket. Make sure it rests on the galvanized steel frame, not under the return edge of the stainless steel basin top.
- Secure the unit: Remove the front panel (2 front T15 screws at the base and 2 under the fountain nose). Mark the 2 lower anchor locations, take the unit down to drill the pilot holes, then rehang it and fasten it with anchors.
- Connect the drain: Install a P-trap between the drain stub-out and the basin drainpipe, cutting the drainpipe to fit if needed.
- Connect the water supply: Connect the supplied copper inlet tube to the shut-off valve, and leave the 1/4" line on the cartridge valve connected. Turn on the water and press the push pads until the bubbler gives a steady stream. Check for leaks, and adjust the stream height to at least 4" with the knob beneath the fountain nose.
- Power up and finish: Spin the condenser fan blade by hand to confirm it's clear, then plug in the unit. Once everything runs without leaks, reinstall the front panel.
