Oasis PLF8SM STN (500276) Simulated Semi-Recessed Water Cooler, Refrigerated Drinking Fountain, 8 GPH, Stainless Steel

Why We Recommend the Oasis PLF8SM STN

The Oasis PLF8SM STN (500276) combines the architectural appearance of a semi-recessed drinking fountain with a wall-mounted cabinet that provides removable front and side panels for service access. We recommend this stainless steel model for projects that need durable construction, refrigerated drinking water, and a traditional fountain configuration. Its high-efficiency cooling system delivers 8 GPH of 50°F water under ASHRAE 18 rating conditions.

Best Applications

The PLF8SM STN is well suited for schools, offices, healthcare facilities, public buildings, recreation centers, manufacturing facilities, and other indoor locations with steady drinking water demand. Its brushed stainless steel cabinet, stainless steel top, and welded heavy-gauge frame provide a durable appearance for commercial installations.

Quick Tip

Coordinate the mounting height, wall support, water supply, drain, and electrical service before completing the rough-in. The unit ships with a wall-mounting bracket, and its removable panels should remain accessible for future refrigeration and plumbing service. Actual cooling performance can vary with incoming water temperature, room temperature, and demand.

Common Question

What does “simulated semi-recessed” mean?
The PLF8SM is designed to provide the appearance of a semi-recessed cooler while using a wall-mounted cabinet and mounting bracket rather than the same installation arrangement as a true recessed model. Always review the product rough-in information and local accessibility requirements before installation because mounting height, utility placement, and pathway clearance remain important.
