The Oasis PG8EBFSL is a wall-mounted refrigerated bi-level fountain with a contactless VersaFiller bottle filler, delivering 8.0 GPH of chilled water.
Before You Begin
- Tools: Power drill with pilot bit, T15 Torx driver, #2 Phillips and slotted screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, bubble level, tape measure, and a tool for cutting plastic pipe.
- Not included: Wall anchors and fasteners, 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: The cooler and bottle filler each have a power cord, so you need two outlets or a splitter, on a 20A minimum GFCI device. Allow 4" of clearance per side. The cooler must always be on the right side for airflow.
- Codes and reference: Some states require a licensed plumber. Check local codes for mounting height, and see the installation manual for rough-in diagrams.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Hang the units: Flush the building water supply line first. Mount the hanger brackets level with 2 anchors each, then hang the cooler on the right and the fountain on the left. Both must rest on their galvanized steel frames, not under the stainless steel basin return edge. For a left-side-high layout, swap the patch plate and waste drains between units.
- Secure the units and drain: Remove the front panels (2 front T15 screws at the base and 2 under the fountain nose). Mark the anchor holes, take the units down to drill the pilot holes, then rehang and anchor them. Install the supplied drain parts, with the sponge tubing on the brass drain pipe, and connect a P-trap to the drain stub-out.
- Connect the water: Connect the supplied copper inlet tube to the shut-off valve. Replace the push-fit plug on the cold tank with the 1/4" union and connect the fountain's insulated 1/4" line to it. Turn on the water, press the push pads until both bubblers run steady, and check for leaks.
- Plumb the bottle filler: Connect the supplied tee and tube so chilled water feeds both the fountain valve and the VersaFiller. Feed the tubing up through the bushing in the top of the lower unit, since the bottle filler mounts above it.
- Mount the bottle filler: Center the rubber gasket on the unit top against the wall, set the wall frame on it, and fasten it to the wall, pulling the tubing up through the frame. Connect the tubing to the solenoid valve inlet on the back of the filler. Feed the power supply terminals and green ground wire through the bushing, connect the terminals, and attach the ground wire to the cooler frame ground. Set the cabinet into the gasket groove, secure it with 4 Torx screws, then install the drip tray and anti-splash grate.
- Power up and test: Spin the condenser fan blade by hand to confirm it's clear, then plug in both power cords. Turn on the water and place a container in the alcove to release trapped air, then check for leaks. Adjust the fountain stream to at least 4" high. Reinstall the front panels and the bottle filler top cap.
