Figure 2. Typical Pool Installation Piping
The heat exchanger water connections are nominal 2 inch PVC. Plumb these connections first, as
follows:
1. With abrasive cloth (Oatey #31411 or equivalent), roughen the ID surfaces of the female
connectors on the heat exchanger and the OD surfaces on the water supply and return PVC
pipes.
2. Clean the same surfaces in item 1 with PVC Cleaner (Oatey #30782 or equivalent) and
allow to dry.
3. Apply PVC Cement (Oatey #30863 or equivalent) to the cleaned areas in step 2.
4. Be sure the correct water pipe is aligned with the correct connection on the heat exchanger.
5. Press one pipe at a time into the appropriate water fitting on the heat exchanger and
maintain push pressure for 30 seconds.
