3. Installing the Flexible Basin
Place the flexible basin within the stone surround, being careful not to disturb
the level base at the bottom. Starting at the center, use your hands to smooth
out the basin, working any excess slack towards the outside edges. Ensure that
the basin is tucked tightly into all corners, and place some stones around the
top edges of the basin to temporarily hold the basin in place (Figure 3). Begin
filling the basin with water.
From the inside of the flexible
basin, insert the threaded end of
the bulkhead into the pre-punched
hole in the flexible basin. This
will sandwich the rubber gasket
between the flange of the bulkhead
and the inside wall of the flexible
basin (Figure 2). Slip the 10” round
backing plate over the threaded
end of the bulkhead on the outside
of the flexible basin, followed by
the friction washer and the
retaining nut. Tighten the retaining
nut by hand and then finish off
with a half turn from a wrench.
Note that the retaining nut is
reverse threads. Turn
counterclockwise to tighten.
