1.
Mark the 3 hole locations on your deck using the larger holes of the anchor jig plate as
a template. For ADA compliance, confirm the center of the jig plate holes are 22.5 to 38
inches from the pool’s edge.
SEE FIGURE 1 ON PAGE 3
2.
Drill the 3 hole locations to 4 1/2 inches deep using the 1 1/2 inch drill bit. Clear all debris
and ensure holes are completely dry.
NOTE: Create a depth marker on the drill bit with black electrical tape to make sure you drill to the right depth.
NOTE: Local bonding regulations may require you to drill one hole larger than the others in order to bond at least
one of the anchor inserts. You may need to saw cut a portion of your deck.
See “Saw Cutting Retro-Fit Instructions” on page 6.
3.
Remove the nuts and the black protective coverings from the threaded anchor inserts.
4.
Thread the 1/2 inch hex bolts and flat washers through the smaller anchor jig plate holes
and into the anchor inserts. Be sure to use anti-seize on the threads! Confirm the tops of
the inserts are flush with the bottom of the plate.
SEE FIGURE 2 ON PAGE 5
NOTE: We recommend using masking tape around the holes on the bottom of the anchor jig plate to help prevent the
anchor plate from being accidentally epoxied to the pool deck.
