Expert Insight

Why We Recommend the Elkay LMABFTL8LC

The Elkay LMABFTL8LC combines certified filtration, refrigerated performance and two drinking-fountain heights in a classic light gray granite fixture. Its mechanically activated front and side pushbars provide straightforward operation, making this bi-level cooler a dependable choice for schools, offices, healthcare buildings and other high-use indoor environments.

A hermetically sealed refrigeration system provides an 8 GPH rated cooling capacity, while the durable vinyl-clad exterior coordinates with a broad range of commercial interiors. Each 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 filtration system is certified to NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction of lead, Class I particulate, chlorine taste and odor. The optional Elkay 51300C WaterSentry replacement filter is rated for up to 3,000 gallons or 12 months of service and is available separately for scheduled maintenance.
Operation during an electrical interruption: The mechanical pushbars can continue activating water flow when power is unavailable, provided the building maintains water pressure. The refrigeration system requires electricity, so the unit will not continue actively chilling water until electrical service is restored.
Accessories sold separately: Available options include the MLP200 bi-level in-wall carrier, 98313C gray granite cane apron, 98498C chrome glass-filler kit and 28904C wall plate. Verify compatibility, required quantities and installation clearances before ordering accessories.

Best Applications

The LMABFTL8LC is well suited to educational facilities, offices, medical buildings, libraries and municipal properties that need chilled, filtered water at two fountain heights. Its ADA design supports accessible use when installed with the required mounting heights, clear floor space and approach clearances.

Quick Tip

Plan the bi-level layout, structural support and accessible approach before completing the rough-in. Record the filter installation date and follow Elkay’s flushing, capacity and replacement guidance, since actual cartridge life can vary with usage and incoming water conditions.

Common Question

What is the benefit of the LMABFTL8LC’s bi-level design?
The two basins position the bubblers at different heights, helping serve a broader range of users than a single fountain. When mounted with the required knee clearance, clear floor space and approach dimensions, the configuration supports accessible hydration within an ADA-compliant installation.
