Installation Instruction for
Stall Fount 125
(For parts breakdown, trouble shooting, and warranty, please click here)
A. Mounting Fountain - The Stall fount 125 is designed to accept the water supply line from below the fountain, or from behind the fountain through the wall. The unit must be installed over a non-combustible surface. The supply line shroud must be in contact with non-combustible floor surface.
B. Water Supply Line From Underground – Horizontal underground water line should be sized to account for pressure drop, relating to distance, and placed well below frost line. A one-inch vertical supply pipe is recommended, placed inside of a riser tile. A shut-off valve (as pictured) should be installed under fountain the to allow for servicing. If your facility is cold in the winter, a using a Ritchie Thermal Tube as your riser will provide optimum protection to the vertical supply line against frost and freezing.
The Stall Fount comes with a 3/8” rubber hose (2’ long) which attaches to the supply pipe with a 3/8” hose barb (not provided) and hose clamp (not provided). Vertical supply line must be centered in riser tube below ground to provide an air space between the line and frozen ground outside of tube. Do not surround supply line with insulation, wood or any foreign material. Any foreign material in the tube may cause frost to migrate to supply line causing supply line freezing.
Flush water supply line thoroughly before connection to fountain. Water supplies with foreign material such as sand, rust, etc. may require a filter to keep fountain valve working properly.
Using the adjustable height shroud as a guide, mount the unit on the wall at a height appropriate for your animals. Use of 3/8” carriage bolts or lag screws (not provided), and washers, is recommended.
The supply pipe should extend above the shut-off valve to within 12” of the Stall Fount 125.
After Stall Fount is securely mounted to the wall and all supply connections are made, install the drain plug in the drain hole from above, pushing the plug into the hole.

D. Disc Thermostat –The disk thermostat is mounted in a bracket under the trough that allows it to be moved relative to the heater. To ease movement of thermostat turn ¼ turn. To lock in position after adjustment turn ¼ turn back. As the thermostat is moved toward the heater, the water temperature in the trough is lowered. The best location is determined by checking the trough temperature several times during the heating season. E. Sizing Electrical Wire: a suitable fuse or circuit breaker with properly sized wire must protect power to the fountain. The heater draws 1.4 amps |

F. Adjust Water Level Open cover by removing the screw on top. Turn on water and adjust float to water level mark or until there is approximately 3 inches of water in the trough. Float is adjusted by loosening the wing-nut then raising or lowering the float as needed, and then re-tightening the wing-nut. When finished adjusting close the cover and reinstall the screw.
