The Oasis PGAC is a non-refrigerated, wall-mounted drinking fountain with four push pads and a water saver bubbler, available in Greystone, Sandstone, or Stainless Steel.
Before You Begin
- Tools: A screwdriver for the stream adjustment and standard tools and hardware for mounting the wall hanger. The trap and shut-off valve are not furnished.
- Plumbing: Provide a 3/8" O.D. water supply with shut-off valve and a 1-1/4" IPS waste connection. The unit operates at up to 100 PSI, so install a pressure regulator if spikes could exceed that. Flush the supply line before installing.
- Mounting and codes: Check local, state, and federal codes for mounting height and clearances before roughing in. Avoid using the 1-3/4" knockout for the waste line, as it may conflict with ADA toe space requirements.
- Safety and support: Some states require a licensed plumber, and all connections must meet local plumbing codes. Do not alter or modify the unit, as this voids the warranty and UL listing.
- Installation reference: See the installation manual for rough-in drawings and detailed instructions.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Prepare the rough-in: Install the plumbing service per the manual's rough-in drawing, and flush the building supply line before connecting the unit.
- Hang the unit: Mount the wall hanger, which ships fastened to the back of the unit, and hang the fountain on it.
- Install the trap: Install a trap in the waste line, and wrap any internal trap with insulating tape to prevent sweating.
- Connect the water supply: Install a shut-off valve and connect the Water Supply tube to it, using no solder or flare connection. Keep the in-line strainer in place so it can be serviced.
- Test the unit: Open the shut-off valve and press a push pad, running water until the stream is free of bubbles.
- Adjust the stream: Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the shelf below the push pads and turn clockwise to raise the stream height.
