DESCRIPTION: The Frank Fountains have been designed for easy
installation and trouble free operation. The major components consist of
the following:
a) The housing; constructed of molded
PVC of special attractive design.

for easy cleaning.

light is ON when power is supplied
to the fountain. Bottom red light is on when temperature lowers to 50°.

power OFF/ON switch; all located
inside the housing.
f) The water shutoff valve is provided for customer to connect to
water supply line.
g) The water level is factory pre-set and automatically fills.
MOUNTING THE FOUNTAIN: Wall or floor mounting is customers
choice. The TC80 model sets securely on the floor and is 20
high, 13 wide and 18 deep. Wall supported fountains have standoff
brackets that bolt to the wall and requires two 3/8 lag bolts. The
bottom of the housing must be tight against the floor to keep the heat
contained. The floor mount model must be bolted down to the floor or
concrete slab. Complete installation plans are provided.
PLUMBING: Each fountain requires a ½ water
pipe to be located in the center of the fountain base. Install a section
of 4 plastic pipe over the ½ water line and down to the local frost
line level.
(Caution: The water line will freeze if in contact with the 4
pipe.) The ½ line should extend about 1 above the slab. Flexible line
is provided to connect the fountain shut off valve to the ½ water line.
The waterline must be purged thoroughly BEFORE connecting to the
fountain.
ELECTRICAL: Factory wiring is in compliance with the NEC. All
customers wiring must be made in strict accordance with national and
local electrical codes. Each fountain requires a 120VOLT
AC, 2.5AMP supply. A minimum
15AMP ground fault circuit breaker
is advised. Each fountain requires 3 conductor, #14 wire. The fountain
is supplied with power OFF/ON
switch, 5AMP fuse protection, green
indicator light (power ON
indicator) and red indicator light noting heater on. Consult setting
plans before installing.
ADJUSTMENTS: Model TC80
requires NO adjustments or assembly. Water level is
factory pre-set.
CLEANING: It is very important that the
water supply for your animals be kept as clean as possible. Clean daily
by lifting the top bowl and discarding the contents is recommended.
Water automatically shuts off when bowl is removed. It is NOT necessary
to turn water supply off. Routinely check and clean the bottom bowl. It
is recommended that you at least weekly disinfect both bowls with bleach
or other appropriate disinfectant.
Installation and electrical wiring drawings are supplied with units.
