Frequently Asked Questions - Glenguard K-5295 KOHLER

What are the required rough-in dimensions for installing the Glenguard K-5295?

The rough-in must have an interior width of 13 inches (330 mm) and an interior height of 23 inches (584 mm). The distance from the inside top of the box to the floor depends on the desired rim height (30 inches for elementary schools, 36 to 44 inches for other buildings), to which 17 inches is added.

How to connect the water supply to the cuspidor?

Attach a shut-off valve to the drinking fountain's supply line. Remove the plug from the valve tee, then remove the adapter from the cuspidor supply tube. Apply pipe thread sealant to the adapter and screw it into the tee. Then apply sealant to the cuspidor end of the tube and screw it into the regulator inlet. Tighten so that the adjustment screw is accessible.

How to adjust the cuspidor regulator?

After opening the water supply and the control valve, adjust the cuspidor regulator by turning its adjustment screw until the desired water flow is achieved at the spreader. Ensure water flows properly without splashing.

How to install the drain and strainer?

First install the drains on the first-install connections. Apply sealant to the elbows and screw them onto the drains, orienting them outward. Screw the nipples onto the elbows. For the strainer, remove the cap, place the gasket with the tapered side up, apply sealant around the strainer, and screw it onto the drain. Snap the cap into place. Repeat for the fountain.

How to attach the fountain and cuspidor to the wall?

Install two wall screws into the back of the rough-in boxes according to the plan. Place the units into the boxes and hand-tighten the acorn nuts and washers onto the wall screws. Do not use a wrench. Check alignment, then tighten the top and bottom cap nuts. Secure the fountain with the remaining wall screw and washer.

What to do in case of a leak after installation?

Check all plumbing connections: drain gaskets, supply tube connections, and wall screws. Ensure plumber's putty has been applied correctly and nuts are tight. If leak persists, tighten fittings or replace defective gaskets.

How to clean the water dispenser?

Use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the china. Regularly clean strainers and drains to prevent clogs. For the cuspidor, descale periodically with diluted vinegar.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need plumber's putty, an adjustable wrench, a screwdriver, a drill, a bubble level, a tape measure, and possibly a wood saw for the rough-in. Various carpentry tools may be useful.

How to adjust the height of the fountain from the floor?

The rim height (dimension A) is 30 inches (762 mm) for elementary schools and between 36 and 44 inches (914-1118 mm) for other buildings. To determine the rough-in height, add 17 inches (432 mm) to the chosen A dimension. The inside top of the box should be at this height from the floor.

Does the cuspidor work independently of the fountain?

No, the water supply to the cuspidor is controlled from the drinking fountain. The fountain's control valve supplies both units. You must turn on the fountain's water supply for the cuspidor to work. A separate regulator allows adjusting the cuspidor flow.
