tank continuous-tube type evaporator, refrigerant drier, and
capillary tube.
THIS WATER COOLER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIRE-
MENTS OF A.D.A. (AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT)
WHEN PROPERLY INSTALLED.
NO LEAD DESIGN
THIS WATER COOLER COMPLIES WITH THE LEAD-FREE
DEFINITION IN THE SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT OF
1986 AND LEAD CONTAMINATION CONTROL ACT OF
1988.
Elkay Water Coolers are manufactured with a waterway sys-
tem utilizing copper components and completely lead-free
material. These waterways have no lead because all lead
materials, such as leaded brass, have been removed. All
joints are brazed using silver solder only. No lead solder is
permitted. A strainer with an easily cleanable screen is pro-
vided to allow trapping and convenient removal of waterborne
particulate of 140 microns and larger prior to their entry into
the water cooler.
This water cooler is classified by Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. in accordance with ANSI/NSF61,
Section 9-1997b.

steel polished to a lustrous satin finish with high shined outer

Exclusive Flexi-Guard
®
Safety Bubbler**: Innovative design
utilizes an infused anti-microbial pliable polyester elastomer
to prevent accidental mouth injuries. Flexes on impact, then
returns to original position. Strong. Abrasion-r
esistant. Anti-
sweat. Keyed in location to prevent rotation.
ELECTRONIC SENSOR OPERATION
On-Off solenoid valve is actuated by an infra-red light beam
sensor. When light beam is interrupted by subject in front of
cooler desiring a drink, the sensor actuates the solenoid valve
which then opens to allow water to flow. No physical contact
with cooler is required. A built in time delay is provided to pre-
vent actuation by persons moving past cooler. There is a max-
imum running time of 30 seconds to prevent malicious
damage to the cooler or water damage if sensor vision is
blocked. Unit automatically resets when blockage is removed.
Front Panel Grill: Made of type 304 stainless steel, polished
to a uniform Elkay satin finish. Removable louvered ven-
tilating grill encloses refrigeration unit and plumbing.
Wall Mounting Frame: MF100 frame furnished with each
unit. Frame allows flush mounting to finished wall.
Drain: LK464 drain and trap assembly included.
5 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY on the refrigeration system of
the unit. Electrical components and water system are war-
ranted for 12 months from date of installation. Sample
Certificate available on request.
Elkay Pressure-Type Water Coolers are designed to operate
on 20 psi to 105 psi supply line pressure. If inlet pressure is
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 pressures lower than 20 psi or higher
than 105 psi is not covered by the warranty.
