Murdock M-PM74 Installation Instructions

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR M-PM74 PET FOUNTAIN
Important: Read all instructions and refer to local
codes prior to installation.
Local soil conditions may require more gravel for
l
drainage.
It is recommended to include a supply stop
l
appropriate located on the supply line.
An in-line PRV installed on the supply line is
l
recommended to ensure a working water pressure
of 40- 60 psi.
A water filter should be installed on the supply line if
l
sediment or mineral content is a problem.
Supply line must be flushed of all foreign materials
l
such as pipe dope, chips, etc.
Piping and valve must be drained prior to being
l
subjected to freezing temperatures.
Prepare trench for water supply lines and waste line (if
required). At fountain location prepare hole to trench
depth and large enough for a person to work in. Lay
supply and waste into trench and above ground
allowing extra line to be trimmed during hook up, refer
to details for roughs.
Depending on code and design requirements, drain
may be open, french or sanitary connection. For french
drain place a minimum of three cubic feet of gravel
under drain opening. Local soil conditions may require
more gravel drainage.
Refill trench and hole, compacting back fill as required.
Leave sufficient depth in hole to accommodate
concrete pour, 4" minimum recommended.
Prepare slab area surrounding fountain spreading and
compacting gravel as necessary. Prepare form
approximately 6" diameter to protect supply and waste
stub outs. Protect exposed valve assembly, tubing and
tube openings to prevent damage to equipment or to
prevent tubes from becoming filled with soil or debris.
Then pour concrete, ensure concrete is flat and level.
