I have a drinking water fountain to fit, Is a double check valve needed on the supply? Also are they usually piped up in the small bore plastic I have seen them fit with before presuming this comes with it?
 
depends on type im guessing its internally?

or is it like the bottle type?
 
normally hard pipe (15mm) and no check valve is needed but always good to fit a double
 
thank you. the double check valve advisable. Encase someones mouth touches the spout?

excatly or someone tries to fill a cup up on it
 
I've just finished a spa/gym/swimming pool place and I've got them on all water fountains. Stops the jobs worth m+e consultants picking anything uo
 
Its like the one in the picture, what kind of height would you generally set these at off the floor?
 
What age ?

And normally ask / look around the school if there's any others
 
Couple of options basin height or 1m or what ever height there happy with
 
Thank you so basin height 820 or higher around 1meter. So people don't have to bend down as much to drink from I guess
 
Yes spot on
 
Thanks I'll likely go at around 1meter

Be careful about guessing this one. You need to consider the need to make such facilities 'Accessible' to wheelchair users, etc. these days. I don't know all the rules I'm afraid but better to check before you install.

Normally fit a second at kid height too low of adults to use
 
Thanks maybe a daft question what kind of angle do you position the tap at to the the spray right same as the picture I'm guessing
 
Just looked on the webpage for a similar fountain there recommending 915mm to front lip for adult height
