The Oasis PG8SBF is a wall-mounted refrigerated drinking fountain with a mechanical bottle filler, delivering 8.0 GPH of chilled water to both the fountain and the filler.
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: A 20A minimum GFCI-protected outlet is required. The bottle filler is mechanical and needs no separate electrical connection. 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 rough-in dimensions.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Hang and secure the cooler: 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 front 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 and water: Install a P-trap between the drain stub-out and the basin drainpipe. Connect the supplied copper inlet tube to the shut-off valve, leaving the 1/4" line on the cartridge valve connected. Turn on the water and press the push pads until the stream is steady.
- Connect the bottle filler line: Take the 1/4" tube from inside the access panel, remove the plug from the cold tank fitting, and insert the tube end. Feed the tubing up through the bushing in the top of the unit.
- 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.
- Connect and attach the bottle filler: Slide the sponge insulation over the water line and connect it to the inlet elbow on the back of the bottle filler. Attach the tether to the cleat on the mounting frame. Then set the cabinet into the gasket groove and secure it and the top cap with the 2 Torx screws.
- Power up and test: Spin the condenser fan blade by hand to confirm it's clear, then plug in the unit. Press the bottle filler's activation button to release trapped air, and check all connections for leaks. Adjust the fountain stream to at least 4" high, then reinstall the front panel.
