INSTALLATION
Risk of electrical shock.
Before removing
fixture from pool wall, ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER
at the breaker.
“Except when the fixture is installed in an area of the
swimming pool that is not used for swimming and the
lens is adequately guarded to keep any person from con-
tacting it, the fixture shall be installed in or on a wall of
the pool with the top of the lens opening not less than 18
inches below the normal water level of the pool.”
Installation In Vinyl Liner Pool
(Refer to Figures 2 & 5 For Model Numbers 05161-2358
through 2369, 05163-2395, and 05163-2396)
1. Mark the location of the top of the hole to be cut in
the pool wall (be sure that the topmost part of the lens
will be more than 18" below the water level). Then
mark the diameter of the hole (12-1⁄4" to 12-1⁄2"). Cut
along the circle you marked on the pool wall.
NOTICE:
If your pool uses American Standard pre-
punched steel panels, please go to step 4. Otherwise,
please proceed with Step 2, below.
2. Insert the niche into the pool wall from the inside of
the pool. Make sure that the odd spaced holes are at
the top and bottom and that the niche is aligned so
that the alignment notch for the lamp housing is at the
bottom of the niche (threaded hole at the top).
3. There are four countersunk through-holes in the niche
flange (Key No.1, Figure 5). Mark the location of these
holes on the pool wall and then drill them with a
7/32" bit. Fasten the niche in place with four
#10-24 x 1" flat head screws (Key No. 4) and nuts
(provided, Key No. 3). Do not overtighten. Please go
to step 7 (Bonding).
For American Standard pre-punched steel panels only:
If
you are using American Standard pre-punched steel pan-
els, the niche can be installed on the outside of the pool
wall as follows:
4. Slide the channel gasket (Key No. 8) into place on the
inside of the niche opening in the pool wall, with the
thick side of the gasket inside the pool (See Figure 3).
5. Leave liner gasket (Key No. 6) in place against the
face of the niche and fasten the niche to the wall with
two #10-24 x 7/8" pan head screws (provided, Key
No. 7). Do not overtighten.
6. Connect conduit to the back of the niche.
