INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
STEP 3: Attach the valve assembly to the hose assembly outside of the casing. Pressure
test for leaks: Using the metal rod as a handle, lower the complete valve assembly
into casing. Make sure that the supply hose coils into the bottom of the casing
without any kinks. Keep the hose coiled underneath the valve (see Installation
Drawing sheet 1 of 3). Cap the casing and back-fill the trench. Keep the valve casing
vertical at all times.
STEP 4: Locate the fountain anchor bolts in the proper position. Care must be taken to insure
clearance within the pedestal for the valve casing branch arm waste drain line. Pour
concrete into forms and finish. Let concrete set for at least 24 hours.
STEP 5: Place the fountain onto the mounting pad and secure in place. Pull the valve
assembly out of the valve casing. Feed the supply tubing from the fountain down into
the valve casing branch arm. Reach into the top of the casing and pull the tubing out.
Tubing should now run from pedestal operator down through valve casing arm, then
up valve casing to ground level. Measure and cut the tubing to length, allowing
enough tubing, to reach the bottom of valve casing. Connect tubing from fountain to
the push-in type fitting outlet of the valve. Connect the waste line to the fountain.
STEP 6: Feed the two 5/32" O.D. tubing from the valve up to the fountain through the valve
casing branch arm. Connect the tubing with label to the push button. Secure with the
compression nut (hand tight only). Leave the end of the attached breather tube open
to the air.
STEP 7: Turn on the supply line shutoff valve. Test the 6518.2FR valve using the fountain
push button. Check for leaks. Refer to trouble shooting section for any malfunction.
STEP 8: Lower the complete valve assembly back into the casing as in Step 3. Test the flow
once again and make sure that the line water between valve and fountain drains
back to porous fill. Make sure the tubing has no low spots, which might collect water
causing ice plugs in freezing weather.
STEP 9: When the fountain operates satisfactorily, install the access plates. Place a piece of
insulation foam (provided) inside the casing as shown on installation drawing. To
complete installation, cap valve casing and replace valve box cover.
