CONNECTING SKIMMER WALL FITTING
(Refer to Diagram #3: Rectangle Skimmer Diagram on the following page)
"
Push fitting (#8) thru the wall of the pool from the inside. MAKE SURE TO USE A
GASKET (#9) on both sides of the wall of the pool. Place cork ring next to the
gasket outside the pool and secure the wall-fitting nut (#10) to (#8) now sticking
out of the wall of the Fastlane Pool. Tighten with a large pair of channel locks. Make
sure the nut is very snug but do not over-tighten, as this may crack your fitting.
"
Thread the male portion on the male adaptor (#3) into the bottom of the skimmer.
NOTE: No glue or tape is necessary to complete this step.
"
Inside the pool, thread the male portion of the threaded 90 (#5) into the thru-wall
fitting (#8).
NOTE: No glue or tape is necessary to complete this step.
"
Press the connection pipe (#4) into the male adapter (#3), then press the other end
of the pipe into the female end of the threaded 90 (#5).
NOTE: You may have to
lift slightly on skimmer to make this connection.
"
Outside the pool, glue the male portion of the street ell (#6) into the tailpiece of the
thru-wall fitting (#8).
"
The provided plugs can also be threaded into the threaded end of the thru-wall fitting
to prevent the pool from draining when the water quality system equipment needs
maintenance.
