Elkay EHWM217C Bi-level Ada Drinking Fountain Surface Mount

Product Description

The ELKAY EHWM217C is a bi-level, ADA-compliant drinking fountain designed for surface mounting on interior walls. It features two separate drinking stations positioned at different heights, with the higher unit located on the left side. Built with a stainless steel construction and Soft Sides heavy-duty design, this fountain delivers durable, long-term performance in high-traffic environments. The unit is non-refrigerated and non-filtered, making it a straightforward potable water access point without the added complexity of refrigeration or filtration systems. Installation is handled by licensed plumbers or general contractors working in commercial and institutional settings.

This fountain is suited for commercial, institutional, and public facility applications including schools, office buildings, government facilities, and healthcare environments. The bi-level configuration meets ADA accessibility requirements by providing a lower bowl height for wheelchair users and a higher bowl height for standing users. The higher unit mounts on the left. The surface-mount design attaches directly to a finished wall, requiring a rough-in water supply and drain connection behind the wall. No recessed alcove is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning rough-in work. The wall must be capable of supporting the weight of the fountain and any anticipated user loading. Verify ADA mounting height requirements for both bowl levels before final attachment.
