& OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Model: RC4G Air Button
for Gunite / In-Wall Applications
This Air Button is especially suited for gunite/concrete
type construction and it is designed to slip-fit inside of
a schedule 40 PVC conduit. Because of its low profile,
it is the perfect choice for both the vertical and the
horizontal mounting arrangements. It will operate any
Intermatic relay type Air Control up to 100 feet away.
1. Make sure the distance between the Air Control and
Air Button is not over 100 feet.
2. Install PVC conduit between the Air Control and Air
Button, using sweep elbows or forming large radius
curves with heat gun.
3. At pool/spa side, make sure the conduit is the 1 inch
I.D., either rigid or the flexible type, and extends well
beyond the intended finished surface.
4. When the pool/spa deck work is complete, cut
conduit flush with finished surface. Try Air Button for
fit. Due to irregularities and variations in conduit I.D.
some sanding of I.D. may be required.
5. Pull 1/8 inch I.D. vinyl tubing between Air Control
and Air Button, allowing 6 to 10 extra inches at both
ends. Make sure the tubing is especially formulated
for such an application (we recommend using tubing
supplied by
Intermatic
), free of kinks, splices and
protected from chemicals and rough edges.
Do
not allow water or other contaminants to enter
tubing.
6. Slide retaining nut over tube and firmly
press tube over air buttons connecting
nipple. Hand tighten nut over the threaded
portion of Air Button (see illustration
above).
7. Push excess tubing back into conduit
and press Air Button into conduit. Apply
small amount of silicone sealer around the
flange of Air Button and snap bezel over
flange.
The use of permanent glue is not
recommended.
