If the
lighting
option is
purchased
the LED light
strip can be fitted into the
back of the spillway. There are brackets on the
ends of the light bars with holes in them.
These brackets are for other applications.
The LED light bar should fit snuggly into the
back of the spillway. If necessary, a small
amount of silicone can be used as an adhesive
to hold the bar in place.

basin by properly
compacting
and leveling the
area. The Vianti
Falls spillway
is designed
to be placed
approximately
12" to 30" above the basin. The center of the
spillway and the basin must be aligned. The
spillway must be positioned in the wall to allow
for the lip to protrude past the wall at least

included with the basin.

Once the spillway
placement has
been determined in the
block wall, the block
will need to be cut to
allow for the plumbing
connections on the
back of the spillway.
Use appropriate tools
and extreme care when
cutting block. Consult
block manufacturer recommendations for
properly cutting block being used.
5 The block that
goes around the
spillway will need
to be cut to ensure
proper leveling and
look of the spillway
in the wall. The type
of block being used
will determined the
methods used. A lentil
may be required for longer spillways or in walls
that would require additional weight bearing
support. Consult a qualified professional for
specific installation requirements and codes.
The spillway should be “dry fit” to ensure the
spillway is level from side to side and front to back.

Once the spillway
is level and “dry fit”
the plumbing can now
be fitted. Use the 1"
PVC male adaptor and
the fittings provided
to connect spillway to
the flexible PVC pipe.
Wrap the threads of the
PVC male adaptor with
Teflon tape and thread into the spillway inlet(s).
Determine the placement of additional fittings
(elbows, tees, and extra pipe). Cut and glue all
the pieces together to fit the application.

The cord for the
LED light strip can
be tucked into the
notch in the spillway.
A dab of silicone
should be used to seal
the notch on opposing
side. Tuck the cord
between the blocks to run the cord to the power
source.

Run the 1" black
flexible PVC through
the hole previously
provided in the block
wall. Carefully measure
and cut PVC pipe to
proper length. Take
extra care to verify the
spillway has remained
in its level position
while measuring and cutting the pipe.
