Elkay Commercial EF1500VRBC Retrofit Filtration Kit 1500 Gal

Product Description

The ELKAY COMMERCIAL EF1500VRBC is a vandal-resistant retrofit filtration kit designed to add a reliable filtration system to existing water coolers, fountains, and bottle filling stations. The kit includes a WaterSentry VII Filter rated at 1,500 gallons per service interval and houses it inside a 20-gauge stainless steel tamper-proof enclosure. It targets lead, chlorine, and taste-and-odor contaminants. Licensed plumbers and facility maintenance technicians install this kit in public and high-use commercial environments where water quality and equipment protection are both priorities.

This kit is suited for retrofit installations on existing water coolers, drinking fountains, and bottle filling stations in schools, office buildings, government facilities, and other high-traffic public spaces. The mounting box is designed to position near any accessible water line, providing flexibility in placement. The filter is replaceable after 1,500 gallons of use or on an annual basis, whichever comes first. The replacement filter for this kit is part number 51299C.

Do not overtighten supply connections; follow the fitting manufacturer guidelines to avoid cracking the enclosure or fittings.
