adaptor (56) and push threaded end through the wall

HARD PLUMB INSTALLATIONS
Using a 1-1/2" Schedule 40 PVC pipe with ends cut
square, remove any burrs. Cut pipe to length as re-
quired between joints and loosely assemble for proper fit
prior to solvent welding. Slip the union nut (65) onto the
pipe with the female threads facing the union adaptor
(62). Then, solvent weld the union socket (64) onto the
pipe using primer and PVC/ABS solvent cement. DO
NOT Allow solvent cement to contact the sealing
surface of the union socket. When dry, assemble the
connections and tighten firmly by hand.
Locate a board large enough to cover return fitting cut-
out. From inside of pool, use the board to hold liner
against cut-out in pool wall. Keep hands away from hole
to avoid injury. From outside of pool, use the cut-out as
guide and cut away liner with a razor knife.
INSTALLATION
(without pressure type pool cleaner)
1. Slip a gasket (61) over the threads of the return fitting
(60) and push threaded end through the wall from
inside pool. Place the second gasket over the
threads now exposed outside the pool.
2. Hold the return fitting (60) so the opening is facing
away from the skimmer and slightly downward.
Thread the union adaptor (62) onto the return fitting
and tighten firmly. Hint: Using an oil filter wrench to
tighten the union adaptor will make the job easier.
