3. Installation Instructions
This section outlines the general steps for installing the Elkay 92715C Bubbler. It is recommended to consult the specific manual for your Elkay Water Cooler or drinking fountain for detailed, model-specific instructions.
- Preparation: Ensure the water supply to the unit is turned off before beginning installation. Gather any necessary tools, such as wrenches or pliers.
- Remove Old Bubbler: Carefully remove the existing bubbler from the water cooler or drinking fountain. This may involve unscrewing a locking nut from underneath the basin.
- Position New Bubbler: Place the new Elkay 92715C Bubbler into the opening. The bubbler is designed to be keyed into position to prevent rotation. Align the keyway on the bubbler with the corresponding slot on the fountain's basin.
- Secure Bubbler: From underneath the basin, thread the locking nut onto the bubbler's stem and tighten it securely. Do not overtighten, as this may damage the bubbler or the fountain.
- Test for Leaks: Turn the water supply back on slowly and check for any leaks around the newly installed bubbler. If leaks are present, gently tighten the locking nut further until the leak stops.
For optimal performance, ensure all connections are tight and the bubbler is seated correctly.
