3. Setup and Installation
The Fisher 2911 Ultra Spray Valve and 36" Hose assembly is designed for straightforward installation onto existing pre-rinse units. Ensure that the water supply to the pre-rinse unit is turned off before beginning installation.
- Remove Old Spray Valve (if applicable): Carefully unscrew the old spray valve from the end of the pre-rinse hose. Be prepared for residual water.

- Connect Hose to Unit: Attach the 36" hose to the pre-rinse unit's faucet body. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the water supply to the pre-rinse unit. Inspect all connections for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections further if necessary.

4. Operating Instructions
Operating the Fisher 2911 Ultra Spray Valve is simple and intuitive:
- Activate Flow: Squeeze the solid bronze handle to activate the water flow. The robust design of the handle ensures full flow operation without bending or distortion.
- Adjust Spray: Position the knife-edge spray pattern directly over the items to be cleaned. The concentrated, oval spray is designed for efficient and fast cleaning, effectively dislodging food debris.
- Maintain Flow: For continuous flow, utilize the built-in spray handle clip to keep the handle depressed.
- Deactivate Flow: Release the handle to stop the water flow. Ensure the clip is disengaged if used for continuous flow.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Fisher 2911 Ultra Spray Valve and Hose. The design features standardized internal gaskets for easy repair.
- Daily Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the spray valve and hose with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to prevent mineral buildup and maintain hygiene.
- Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect all connections and the spray valve body for any signs of leaks. The thread-in nozzle design minimizes leak points by eliminating O-rings in the nozzle.
- Inspect Hose: Check the 36" hose for any kinks, cracks, or signs of wear. The stainless steel armor jacket is designed for longer service life and to relieve tension on the inner hose.
- Nozzle Maintenance: If the spray pattern becomes irregular or flow is reduced, check the nozzle for any obstructions. The knife-edge spray design is less prone to clogging, but occasional cleaning may be necessary.
- Gasket Replacement: If internal leaks occur, the standardized internal gaskets are designed for easy replacement. Refer to the manufacturer's service manual or contact Fisher support for replacement parts and instructions.
