Elkay FD7003L1Z Refrigerated Drinking Fountain, Space-ette, Floor Mounted 3.0 GPH Water Cooler, Non-Filtered, Light Gray Granite

Why We Recommend the Elkay FD7003L1Z

The Elkay FD7003L1Z Space-ette is a practical solution when a facility needs refrigerated drinking water but wall mounting is difficult or available floor space is limited. Its narrow, floor-standing cabinet fits into locations where a standard-width water cooler may be too large. The straightforward mechanical bubbler control and non-filtered configuration also keep routine operation and maintenance simple.

Best Applications

We commonly recommend the FD7003L1Z for small offices, break rooms, workshops, clinics, waiting areas, churches, retail backrooms, and older buildings where installing a wall-mounted cooler may not be practical. Its 3 GPH cooling capacity is best suited for locations with light to moderate drinking water demand rather than busy facilities with large groups arriving at the same time.

Quick Tip

Before selecting a compact floor model, verify more than the cabinet width. Confirm that the installation location provides the required water supply, drain, electrical connection, ventilation, and service access. If the cooler will be used to fill cups or glasses regularly, consider adding the compatible 98498C glass filler kit during the initial installation.

Common Question

Can filtration be added to the Elkay FD7003L1Z?
Yes. The FD7003L1Z is supplied as a non-filtered water cooler, but it is compatible with the optional Elkay WaterSentry VII Filter Kit (EWF172). Facilities can add filtration when local water conditions or drinking water preferences make it beneficial.
