INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING 97243C
SINGLE VALVE CONTROL ASSY.
1. Prepare trench for water supply and waste drain lines (if required by local codes). The hole should be deep enough to accommodate the PVC column and 5
 cubicfeetofporousll(largebrokenrock).Additionalporousllmayberequiredduetolocalgroundconditions.(SeeSitePreparationDetailbelow).
2. Lay drain lines and water supply lines. Provide service shut off valve for maintenance. Flush the water supply line before attaching to the shut off valve.
3. Set PVC column in excavating pit. Connect the water supply line to the inlet on the PVC column. Remove valve assembly from the PVC column by
carefully pulling up on the connecting tubing. Pressure test the valve assembly for leaks. Check operation of the water valve by blowing on the small
cleardiametertubing.Asteadystreamofwatershouldowfromthebraidedtubing.Afterreleasingairpressurefromthesmallcleartubingthewater
stream should stop.
4. Replace the water valve into the PVC column. Make sure the supply hose coils into the bottom of the PVC column without any kinks. Cap the PVC
column,protecttheendsoftheconnectingtubesandbackllthetrench.KeepthePVCcolumnverticalatalltimes.
5. Form the concrete mounting pad and locate the fountain 3/8" minimum fasteners in the proper position. (Fasteners not included.) (Refer to Rough-in for
 correctlocationof3/8"minimumfasteners.)Pourconcreteandnish.BesuretokeepconcreteawayfromthetopofthePVCcolumntoallowremovalof
PVC cap to allow for future service. Let concrete set 24 hours minimum before mounting fountain.
6. Double check that the water valve is positioned fully at the bottom of the PVC column. Install insulation into the PVC column and push down onto the top
of the water valve.
7. Mount the fountain onto the 3/8" minimum fasteners (not included). Level and shim fountain as required.
8. Connect the drain line, water line and air control lines. Excess lengths should be trimmed from the tubing. The water supply line must be positioned for
positive drain back out of the fountain and down through the water valve. Any water allowed to be trapped above the frost line will freeze leaving the
unit inoperable. Do not pull up on the connection lines as this could raise the valve above the frost line.
9. Check for proper operation by using fountain push button. If the valve does not work properly, check for leaks or kinks in the air control line.
10. After insuring proper operation reassemble fountain. Installation of your fountain is now complete.
IMPORTANT
ALL SERVICE TO BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSON
IMPORTANT
THE GROUNDING OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT SUCH AS TELEPHONE, COMPUTERS, ETC. TO WATER LINES IS A COMMON
PROCEDURE. THIS GROUNDING MAY BE IN THE BUILDING OR MAY OCCUR AWAY FROM THE BUILDING. THIS GROUNDING
CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL FEEDBACK INTO A FOUNTAIN, CREATING AN ELECTROLYSIS WHICH CAUSES A METALLIC TASTE
OR AN INCREASE IN THE METAL CONTENT OF THE WATER. THIS CONDITION IS AVOIDABLE BY USING THE PROPER
MATERIALS AS INDICATED. ANY DRAIN FITTINGS PROVIDED BY THE INSTALLER SHOULD BE MADE OF PLASTIC TO
ELECTRICALLY ISOLATE THE FOUNTAIN FROM THE BUILDING PLUMBING SYSTEM.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE
Do not pull up on lines coming out of the PVC column. This raises the water valve above the frost line with
disastrous results.
General Installation Tips
1.BesuretoushwatersupplylinebeforeyouconnectittotheinletttingonFreezeResistantValveSystem.
2. There are two drain lines required for this unit. One for the drinking fountain basin drain and one for the valve/water supply line system. The bowl drain is the 3/4"
 PVCttingatthebottomofthe6"PVCtubeandthevalvedrainsthroughthesmallholesinthePVCcap.Provideampledrainageforthesetwoitems.It'salways
better to have too much then not enough.
3.Thecolumn(6"PVCtube)mustremainvertical.Besureitremainsverticalwhenbackllingtheexcavatingtrench.
4.Whentheconcretepad,formountingthefountain,ispoured,besuretoallowadequatespacearoundthetopofthecolumnsothattheexiblecapmaybe 
removed for servicing the valve.
5.Werecommendthatthetopofthecolumnbeushorslightlyabovethetopheightoftheconcretepad.
6.Youshouldtesttheunitbeforeyoubackll.Simplyblowontheclear,smalldiametertubing.Asteadystreamshouldowfromthebraidedtubingline.Whenair
pressure is removed from the clear tubing the water stream should stop.
7.Onceyouhavetestedthevalve,backlledtheholeandpouredtheconcretemountingpadyouarereadytosetthefountain.Afterboltingthefountaininplace 
connect the air control valve tubing, supply water tubing and drain lines. The water supply line must have a straight run from the basin bubbler down to the control
 valve.Ifastraightrunisnotmaintainedwaterwillbecometrappedandfreezeleavingtheunitinoperable.Testthefountainagain.Ifitfailstowork,theair 
control line may be kinked or connected improperly. Be sure to keep water out of the air control line.
8. These products are designed to operate on 20 PSI to 105 PSI supply line pressure. If inlet pressure above 105 PSI, a pressure regulator must be installed in the
supply line. Any damage caused by reason of connecting this product to supply line pressure lower than 20 PSI or higher than 105 PSI is not covered by
warranty.
