Locate the correct reference mark for this installation on the discharge pipe. Using
a hacksaw or PVC saw, cut the pipe at this mark being careful to make a clean,
square cut. Discard the end of the discharge pipe that will not be used.
Use a small piece of sandpaper to smooth out the cut end of the discharge pipe.
Clean the 2” socket fitting on the bottom of the check valve and the cut end of the

If you have removed the 2” socket fitting from the bottom
of the check valve prior to gluing the connection, make sure to
slide the union nut onto the discharge pipe before gluing the
socket fitting in place.
discharge pipe with PVC cleaner/primer. Apply PVC glue and
insert the discharge pipe into the 2” socket fitting. Hold the
discharge pipe firmly in place for a few seconds, giving the
glue time to set.
NOTE:
If you are installing a TW2 series pump, you will need to
use the threaded transition coupling that is supplied with the
pump to make this connection. If you are installing a SH series
pump, you will need to use the threaded transition elbow that is
supplied with the pump to make this connection.
Attach the Triton Check Valve to the TidalWave pump, by
threading the discharge pipe into the pump discharge.
Place the TidalWave pump with installed Triton Check Valve
into the PS3900 Skimmer. Connect the outlet fitting of the
Triton Check Valve to the PVC supply line that feeds the wa-
terfall using PVC glue and Cleaner. For your convenience; 2”
and 1-1/2” outlet fittings are supplied with the Triton Check
Valve.
NOTE:
If you have removed the outlet fitting from the check valve prior
to gluing the connection, make sure to slide the union nut onto the sup-
ply pipe before gluing the socket fitting in place.
Complete installation by tightening the union nuts on the
Triton check valve. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. DO NOT USE
CHANNEL LOCKS TO TIGHTEN THE UNION NUTS.
Locate the model number of the Tidal-
Wave pump used for this installation on
the chart. The ‘perfect cut’ reference mark
is listed next to the pump. If the corre-
sponding reference mark is a letter, then
the 1-1/2” threaded end of the discharge
pipe will be used. If the corresponding
reference mark is a number, then the 2”
threaded end of the discharge pipe will be
used.
