English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Instructions for the Installation of a Water Fountain
Traduzco las instrucciones para instalar una fuente de agua potable. El cliente me dice que en México se usa la palabra "boquilla" para el inglés "bubbler", pero pienso que esta palabra no es lo mismo que "bubbler". Describe la parte donde uno toma el agua de la fuente.

Contexto:

When installing replacement bubbler and pedestal, tighten nut (Item 10) only to hold parts snug in position.

Stream height is factory set at 45-50 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, readjust stream height to approximately 1-1/2" (38mm) above the bubbler guard by turning adjustment screw, accessible by re- moving front push panel.

Turn adjustment screw (Item 19) “Counter-Clockwise” until water flow from bubbler starts.

ADJUST THIS SCREW TO ELIMINATE VALVE LEVER "FREE PLAY" OR CONTINUOUS FLOW FROM BUBBLER

Purge air from all water lines by depressing button or front push bar of cooler/fountain to which it is connected. Steady stream assures all air is removed. Stream height is factory set at 35 PSI. If supply pressure varies greatly from this, remove cover & button and adjust screw on regulator. Clockwise adjustment will raise stream and counter-clockwise adjustment will lower stream. For best adjustment, stream should hit basin approximately 6-1/2" (165mm) from bubbler.

Muchísimas gracias por su ayuda!

Bubbler is a trademarked name that refers to ... what some may call a drinking fountain.

The Bubbler' was developed in 1889 by the then-small Kohler Water Works (now Kohler Company) in Kohler, Wisconsin
, which was already well-known for its faucet production. While Harlan Huckleby is credited with the actual design, it was Kohler who patented it and trademarked the name. The original Bubbler shot water one inch straight into the air, creating a bubbling texture, and the excess water ran back down over the sides of the nozzle. It was several years later before the Bubbler adopted the arc projection, which may have allowed the drinker to partake more easily, or was perceived to be more sanitary.

The bubbler concept took off and there were many copies. Since the name was trademarked, other companies named their fountains "The Gurgler" and "The Gusher.

Current usage of term

"Bubbler" is still used as a generic term
, originating in eastern Wisconsin and remaining well-known throughout the state. The term is widely used in NSW Australia
region ...

burbujeador/cuentaburbujas

No soy expertos en fuentes de agua potable, pero sé que un burbujeador es un dispositivo que se usa para evitar que pase aire a ciertos lugares en procesos donde se usa el aire comprimido como medio propulsor. Aquí parece que el agua sube por presión de aire y el "bubbler" se usa para evitar que el aire salga por la boquilla.
Fíjate que se requiere que el agua llegue a la cámara receptora a no menos de 165 mm a partir del bubbler, o sea 16,5 cm, por tanto el bubbler no puede ser la boquilla.
Por demás el Routledge Technical Dictionary dice:

bubbler n
C&G burbujeador f, cuentaburbujas m
PHYS borboteador m

fuente de agua para beber

A drinking fountain, also called a water fountain or bubbler, is a fountain designed to provide drinking water. It consists of a basin with either continuously running water or a tap. The drinker bends down to the stream of water and swallows water directly from the stream.

El Bubbler ® original lanzaba agua una pulgada directamente al aire, creando una textura burbujeante, y el exceso de agua corría hacia abajo por los lados de la boquilla. Pasaron varios años antes de que el Bubbler® adoptara la proyección de arco lo, que pudo haber permitido el beber con mayor facilidad.

Madrid tiene pocas fuentes para beber… y un tercio no funciona

Instalan dos fuentes para beber en la plaza de Santa María, a petición de los vecinos
