FAQ
Q: Does the Elkay AP99 Come With Elkay Drinking Fountains or Bottle Fillers?
A: No. The AP99 is an optional accessory sold separately; it doesn't ship with the fountain or bottle filler.
Q: When Is the AP99 Access Panel Needed?
A: Elkay notes that if rear access to the fountain or bottle filler plumbing isn't available, a front access panel such as the AP99 may be required.
Q: Can the AP99 Be Used With an Elkay Water Cooler?
A: Elkay doesn't specify the AP99 for its refrigerated wall-mount coolers. Those models use in-wall carriers or back panels instead, so check your cooler's spec sheet before ordering.
Q: What Tools and Fasteners Are Needed to Install the AP99?
A: You'll need an Allen wrench (not furnished) for the hex socket screws, plus fasteners to secure the frame to the wall, which are also provided by others.
Q: Does the AP99 Include Plumbing Connections?
A: No. The panel only provides access to the water supply and drain connections; the connections for the plumbing hookup are provided by others.
Q: How Should the AP99 Frame Be Positioned in the Wall Opening?
A: Place the clips on the frame's flanges with the flat side facing forward, and position the frame so the flanges are on the left and right sides of the opening. See the AP99 manual for the full steps.
Q: How Much Does the Elkay AP99 Weigh?
A: The AP99 has a shipping weight of 2 lbs.
NOTICE: Always follow installation guidelines to ensure warranty coverage.
