IMPORTANT PRODUCT INFORMATION
Brasstech water dispensers are tested and warrantied only when connected to Brasstech water heater 5-036.
Under normal operation, Brasstech’s line of ‘Hot’ and ‘Hot/Cold’ water dispensers may drip for a
period of up to 15 minutes after each use. This condition originates from the unit’s integral hot water
tank. It is caused by the thermal expansion of water occurring naturally when cool water is
heated in a confined space (the tank). Brasstech dispensers were specifically designed to allow
steam or any amount of water expansion to escape through the spout, thus preventing dangerous
high pressure from building up inside the tank. This is a safety feature; not to be confused with a
defective product.
Lab tests have confirmed that during the heat up cycle, water may leak from the spout for up to
15 minutes after the valve is shut off. This duration varies based on the hot water tank’s
temperature setting and amount of hot water consumed. Approximate volume of water expansion
during the 10-15 minute period is 3-5 ounces.
Although persistent leaking and/or dripping may be caused by a non-conforming cartridge and/or
improper assembly, the type of leakage described here (10-15 min., 3-5 oz) can be
verified by unplugging the power to the water heater. There should be no leak through the spout
after the hot valve is shut off in this manner.
