The Oasis PGV8AC is a wall-mounted, vandal resistant refrigerated drinking fountain with 8.0 GPH chilling and a front push button.
Before You Begin
- Tools: A screwdriver for the stream adjustment and standard tools for mounting the wall hanger. The trap, shut-off valve, and electrical outlet are not furnished.
- Plumbing: Provide a 3/8" O.D. copper 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.
- 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 the rough-in drawing and detailed instructions.
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 a shut-off valve in the supply line, then connect the 3/8" copper Water Supply tube to the valve without a solder joint. Keep the in-line strainer installed, 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 the push button, running water until the stream is free of bubbles.
- Adjust the stream: Remove the bezel and button from the front of the cooler to reach the regulator, then turn it clockwise with a screwdriver to raise the stream height.
