INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING 98837C OR 98838C
DUAL 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 nylon strap. 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 anchor bolts in the proper position. (Refer to Rough-in for correct location of anchor bolts.) 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 anchor bolts. Level and shim fountain as required.
8. Connect the drain line, water line and air control lines. Note: for Models 4420BF1LFR and 4420BF1UFR the water line from the REGULATOR MUST BE routed to the
BUBBLER not the Bottle Filler (Freeze Valve P/N 98837C). 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 buttons. 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! 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and/orbottlellerdrains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valvesdrainthroughthesmallholesinthePVCcap.Provideampledrainageforthesetwo
items. It's always better to have too much than 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.

ALL SERVICE TO BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSON
IMPORTANT! INSTALLER PLEASE NOTE.
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.
