with a 5’ arch to verify cleaning coverage. Keep in mind that the jets clean
much further. The design allows for overlap to prevent debris accumulation in-
between filter cleaning cycles.

Plumbing the System
The Blue Square certified plan indicates which cleaning heads will be plumbed
together to form a bank. Run all feed lines to the top of the bond beam to
facilitate easy valve hookup. Number the lines
according to the design plan. Keep in mind that
the valve cycles counter clockwise from the top
view.
Excavate niche in pool wall, 6 x 24” down to
the pool floor
Make line trench depth sufficient to cover all
pipes
Do not cross lines in floor
Use 2” Schedule 40 pipe
Position so jet feed lines are perpendicular to
the slope of the finished pool floor.

Cleaning Head Risers / Stub-ups
The cleaning head collars require a 2” Schedule 40 riser with no reaming required.
*These stub-ups should be perpendicular to the slope of the pool floor.
Plumbing the Valve (see Plumbing the System Diagram)
Remove the Cassette / Gears during pressure testing to allow for equal
distribution of pressure down all 6 ports or zones. Store the Cassette with the jets
for reinstallation at start-up. Position the O-ring on the valve housing in the O-ring
groove. Align the center hole on the clear lid with the guide pin in the lid and use
the band clamp to secure the clear lid to the valve housing. If the lid does not sit
firmly on the O-ring the cassette is not in the full down position. Replace (re-drop)
the cassette into the vavle to make sure the outer gears engage with the gear
train on the interior perimeter of the valve housing.
When plumbing the valve housing use heavy bodied PVC glue with a compatible
primer. It is best to prime the housing heavily to ensure a good glue joint.
Discharge or Feed Lines
The Q360 valve uses 2” Schedule 40 pipe. Use a 3” stagger when cutting pipes
to provide enough clearance. See detail. See Fig. A 1-5
