Product Description

The PASCO 2194-PA is a lead-free drinking fountain bubbler designed for use in potable water applications. It features a push button actuator and an integrated cartridge, providing reliable flow control in a compact assembly. The body is constructed from brass and finished in chrome plating, offering corrosion resistance suited to the demands of commercial and institutional drinking fountain installations. Connection is made via a 3/8 inch FNPT fitting. This type of bubbler is typically installed by licensed plumbers working on drinking fountain replacement or new fixture rough-in projects.

Typical installation scenarios include school drinking fountains, office water stations, and similar potable water fixtures that require periodic bubbler cartridge service or full unit replacement.
