The Oasis PG8SBFSL is a wall-mounted bi-level refrigerated drinking fountain with a mechanical 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: 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, and always mount the cooler on the right 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 and secure 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. 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. For a left-side-high layout, swap the patch plate and waste drains between units.
- Connect the drain and water: 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 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.
- Mount the bottle filler frame: Connect the supplied tee and tube so chilled water feeds both the fountain valve and the bottle filler. Feed the tubing up through the bushing in the lower unit's top. 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 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.
- Attach the cabinet: Set the bottle filler cabinet into the gasket groove on both sides and the front. Secure the cabinet and 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 panels.
