The Oasis PG8FEBF is a wall-mounted refrigerated drinking fountain with a contactless, filtered bottle filler, delivering 8.0 GPH of chilled water. Filter options include VersaFilter III, Total PFAS, and Pharmaceutical.
Before You Begin
- Tools: Power drill with pilot bit, T15 Torx driver, #2 Phillips and slotted screwdrivers, 1/4" nut driver, bubble level, and tape measure.
- 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 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
- Hang the unit: Flush the building water supply line first. Mount the hanger bracket level with 2 anchors, then hang the unit on the galvanized steel frame, not under the stainless steel basin's return edge. Remove the front panel (2 T15 screws at the base and 2 under the fountain nose), mark the 2 lower anchor locations, then take the unit down to drill the pilot holes. Rehang and anchor it.
- Connect the drain: Install a P-trap between the drain stub-out and the basin drainpipe, cutting the drainpipe to fit if needed.
- Mount the bottle filler frame: Center the rubber gasket on top of the cooler against the wall. Set the wall frame on the gasket, mark the holes, and fasten it to the wall. Pull the plastic tubing up through the frame opening.
- Install and flush the filter: Insert the filter cartridge and turn it a quarter turn until it locks. Route the filter head's inlet tube through the frame and top to the water supply, and direct the outlet tube to the fountain drain. Turn on the water and flush the filter, then connect the outlet tube to the cooling tank inlet fitting.
- Connect and mount the bottle filler: Slide the sponge insulation over the water line and connect it to the solenoid valve inlet. Attach the tether to the cleat on the mounting frame. Feed the power supply terminals and green ground wire through the bushing in the cooler top, connect the terminals, and attach the ground wire to the cooler frame ground. Then set the cabinet into the gasket groove and secure it with the supplied Torx screws.
- 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 panel and the bottle filler top cap.
