The Oasis PGF8AC is a wall-mounted refrigerated drinking fountain with 8.0 GPH chilling and a choice of VersaFilter III, Total PFAS, or Pharmaceutical filtration.
Before You Begin
- Tools: A slotted screwdriver and standard tools for anchoring the wall hanger. The trap, shut-off valve, and electrical outlet are not furnished.
- Plumbing: Provide a 3/8" O.D. water inlet with shut-off valve and a 1-1/4" IPS waste connection. Maximum supply pressure is 100 PSI, so install a pressure regulator if spikes could exceed that. Flush the supply line before installing.
- Electrical and ventilation: Provide a 115V outlet with 20A minimum GFCI protection. Allow 4" of clearance per side for ventilation.
- 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. Filtered units have extra instructions on a label inside the access panel, so read them before installing.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- Prepare the rough-in: Install the plumbing and electrical 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 cooler on it.
- Connect water and waste: Install a trap in the waste line and connect the Water Supply tube, which has an in-line strainer, to the shut-off valve. Avoid solder or flare connections so the strainer stays serviceable, and wrap any internal trap with insulating tape to prevent sweating.
- Check the fan and connect power: Rotate the fan blade by hand to confirm it is free of obstructions, then plug the cord into the GFCI outlet. For an external outlet, route the cord through the rear knockout and use a Heyco #2184 bushing.
- Fill the tank: Open the shut-off valve and press any pushbutton, running water until the stream is free of bubbles.
- Adjust the stream: Insert a screwdriver into the slot at the back of the underside of the shelf and turn clockwise to raise the stream height.
