Expert Insight

Why We Recommend the Elkay LMABF8L

The Elkay LMABF8L is a filtered, refrigerated drinking fountain designed for dependable hydration in commercial and institutional buildings. Its front and side mechanical pushbars provide straightforward operation and allow the bubbler to continue dispensing water during an electrical service interruption when building water pressure remains available.

A hermetically sealed refrigeration system delivers an 8 GPH rated cooling capacity, while the light gray granite vinyl-clad exterior provides a durable finish that coordinates with a wide range of interiors. The Flexi-Guard bubbler incorporates a flexible antimicrobial mouth guard designed to help protect users against injury and inhibit microorganism growth on the treated component.

Certified filtration: The integrated filter system is certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction of lead, Class I particulate, chlorine taste and odor. The specified replacement cartridge is the Elkay 51299C WaterSentry filter, available separately for scheduled maintenance.
Power-outage operation: The mechanical pushbars can continue activating water flow during an electrical interruption, provided the building maintains water pressure. The refrigeration system requires electricity, so water will not remain actively chilled while power is unavailable.
Accessories sold separately: Available options include the MLP100 in-wall carrier, 98313C gray granite cane apron and LK1110 glass filler. Confirm accessory compatibility, structural support, plumbing, drainage, electrical requirements and mounting height before installation.

Best Applications

The LMABF8L is well suited to schools, offices, healthcare buildings, municipal facilities and other indoor locations that need chilled, filtered drinking water with reliable mechanical activation. Its ADA design supports accessible use when installed with the required mounting height, clear floor space and approach clearances.

Quick Tip

Add the 51299C replacement cartridge to the facility’s preventive-maintenance schedule. Record the installation date and follow Elkay’s capacity, flushing and replacement guidance, since actual filter service life can vary with water consumption and incoming water conditions.

Common Question

Can a glass filler be added to the Elkay LMABF8L?
Yes. The Elkay LK1110 glass filler is listed as an optional accessory and is sold separately. Confirm the required installation hardware, available clearance and plumbing arrangement before ordering, especially when the cooler is being installed with other accessories.
