FLUSH MOUNT PARASKIM V VENTURI STYLE PLUMBING

SPIGOT RETURN GUARD BODY (use for less than 1½” skimmer set back.)
Skimmer bottom is PVC plastic. Suction outlet connections are 2” slip. The venturi inlet feed connection 
is 1½” slip. For slip connections, apply PVC primer to both PVC pipe and socket connections. Then apply 
PVC solvent cement to both pipe and socket connections. Consult solvent cement manufacturer for correct 
solvent cement for pipe used. Assemble joint per cement manufacturer’s instructions. Allow at least three 
(3) hours before pressure testing.
 
PLUMBING: Venturi Style, Fig. 2
1. Set the venturi skimmer level as you would install a 

conventional skimmer. The skimmer face may be set 
within minimum 1½” from the interior of the concrete 
shell. OPTIONAL: The skimmer may be set after 
the concrete shell is shot. Notch the concrete at the 
top of the pool wall where skimmer is to be set and 
cut a 8” diameter hole for the venturi return guard to 
come through the shell.

2. Optional SUCTION LINE – If used the bottom 

suction line from the skimmer to the pump inlet 
must be plumbed with 2” Schedule 40 PVC. Plug 
the external 2” port of the unused 2nd bottom 2” 
suction line. If unused plug both bottom 2” ports. 

3. RETURN VENTURI LINE - Water is directed 

to the venturi nozzle in the skimmer by installing a 
1½” schedule 40 PVC valve controlled line from 
the return manifold to the bottom 1½” port of the 
skimmer. This valve is set during normal operation 
of the skimmer to use about 8-10 GPM through 
the Dual-venturi nozzle. 

4. VENTURI POOL RETURN - Glue the spigot 

return guard body directly into the side front 
discharge port of the skimmer. The spigot may 
need to be trimmed before gluing so that 
it ends up flush with the final interior finish 
when applied. Do not reduce the venturi 
pool return line.
