PRO TIP: Elkay EMABFTL8SC Discontinued – Direct Replacement Alternatives
The Elkay EMABFTL8SC Wall-Mounted Bi-Level ADA Drinking Fountain (8 GPH, Non-Filtered, Stainless Steel) has been officially discontinued. The "EMABFTL" series was widely specified for its mechanically-activated push-bar operation on both high and low stations, allowing manual water flow during power disruptions. When retrofitting this bi-level installation, your primary plumbing objective is matching the wall hanger bracket spacing, rough-in waste lines, and dual-station plumbing centers to avoid re-opening the drywall.
Recommended Alternate Models to Consider:
• Elkay EZSTL8SC (Direct Electronic Bi-Level Swap): The primary direct replacement within Elkay’s standard bi-level lineup. It matches the exact same bi-level footprint, stainless steel finish, and 8 GPH chilling capacity, but upgrades the unit to soft-touch electronic push-bars on the front and sides.
• Elkay LMABFTL8SC (Filtered Mechanical Bi-Level): If your building requires mechanical push-bar operation but wants to improve water quality, the LMABFTL8SC retains the exact same mechanical valve assembly while adding an NSF-certified WaterSentry® filtration system.
