Detailed Features & Benefits

 

Electrical Control System:
The Elkay 98466C utilizes an electrical control system that responds to user interaction. When a user presses the fountain's pushbar, it triggers a switch that sends an electrical signal to the solenoid valve. This signal causes the valve to open, allowing water to flow through the fountain. Once the pushbar is released, the solenoid closes, effectively stopping the water flow. This precise control ensures water is dispensed only when needed, promoting both user convenience and water conservation.

Integrated Regulator:
The built-in regulator in the 98466C model is a crucial feature that helps maintain consistent water pressure. This ensures a steady and controlled stream of water, regardless of fluctuations in the building's water supply pressure. The regulator helps prevent issues like weak flow or excessive splashing, providing a reliable drinking experience for users.

Y-Strainer Filtration:
The incorporated Y-strainer serves as a preliminary filtration system. It helps catch and remove small particles and sediment from the water supply before it reaches the fountain's spout. This feature not only contributes to better water quality but also helps protect the internal components of the fountain from potential damage caused by debris, potentially extending the life of the entire unit.

Durability and Reliability:
Constructed with a combination of metal and plastic components, the 98466C is designed to withstand the demands of high-traffic environments typically found in schools, offices, and public spaces. The robust construction, coupled with Elkay's reputation for quality, ensures that this solenoid valve can provide long-lasting performance under frequent use conditions.

Easy Maintenance:
The design of the 98466C, which integrates multiple components into a single unit, simplifies maintenance procedures. The inclusion of press-in fittings and a removable strainer screen allows for easier cleaning and replacement of parts when necessary, reducing downtime and maintenance costs over the life of the drinking fountain.

 

NOTICE: Do not use with water that is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection either before or after the system.
