Bsc Preferred EHWM217C Bi-level Drinking Fountain

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED EHWM217C is a bi-level, dual-station drinking fountain built from heavy-gauge stainless steel for demanding, high-traffic installations. Two independent bubbler stations serve simultaneous users, each protected by a chrome-plated hood guard that limits contamination from airborne deposits and tampering. Activation is entirely mechanical via push-button, requiring no electrical connection and maintaining full operation during power interruptions. Softly rounded corners and a contoured, splash-resistant basin reduce mess and simplify cleaning. Tamper-resistant fasteners and a reinforced bottom plate add long-term vandal resistance. This unit is intended for installation by licensed plumbers in commercial and institutional settings.

The EHWM217C suits high-foot-traffic public environments including schools, parks, recreation centers, gyms, and government facilities. Its dual-level configuration accommodates users of varying heights, supporting ADA-accessible layout planning when mounted at appropriate heights per applicable codes. The fountain operates without refrigeration or filtration, keeping maintenance requirements low while lead-reduction construction addresses water-quality concerns at the point of dispense. Surface mounting hardware is included, and the unit supports both indoor and outdoor placement where a potable water supply and drain connection are available.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority having jurisdiction requirements. Shut off the potable water supply and verify drain clearance before beginning rough-in. Confirm mounting surface load capacity before securing the unit, as the fountain weighs 50 pounds. Do not overtighten supply connections; follow the fitting manufacturer torque guidance for the specific fitting material used.
