3. Determine from the following choices which provided
screws, fasteners, and spacers to use to attach the
drain cover support plate to the pool or spa surface.
CAUTION
- Do not install screws until reading sec-
tion regarding installing support plate on pages 10 &
11.
3a. If the pool or spa surface has an embedded
ring around the suction pipe, which ring has
threaded screw hole inserts, use the provided
two 8-32x3/4 screws (Fig. 2). Use the appropri-
ate provided spacers A or B (Fig. 9 pg. 11 small
end up) to close the gap between the drain cover
support plate and the embedded ring. For ex-
ample, if you are replacing a Pentair drain cover
use spacer B.275; if you are replacing a Water-
way drain cover use spacer A.250. If you have an
AFRAS ABF Series drain (See steps 1-3 on Page
10 for instructions on how to cut screws) then
use spacer A.250. Use a knife and cut off small
end of the spacer (Fig. 3) and use around the
screw between the support plate and embedded
ring.
3b. If the pool or spa surface has an embedded ring
around the suction pipe, which ring does not
have threaded screw hole inserts, or the pool
or spa surface has an indented sump without
threaded screw hole inserts, and the distance
between the pool or spa surface and the tops of
the screw holes is shallower than 1/4”, use the
two provided 10x5/8 self threading screws. No
spacers will be needed (Fig. 4).
3c. If the pool or spa has an embedded ring around
the suction pipe, which the ring does not have
threaded screw hole inserts or has an indented
sump without threaded screw hole inserts, and
the distance between pool and spa surface and
the tops of the screw holes is greater than ¼”
but less than ½” use the two provided 10x7/8
self threading screws (Fig. 4). No spacers will be
needed.
3d. If the pool or spa surface has an embedded ring
around the suction pipe, which ring does not have
threaded screw hole inserts, or the pool or spa
surface has an indented sump without threaded
screw hole inserts, and the distance between
pool or spa surface and the tops of the screw
holes is deeper than 1/2”, use the two provided
10x1-1/4 self-threading screws. No spacers will
be needed (Fig. 5).
