3. Attach the drain cover support plate to the pool or spa
surface with the appropriate screws, fasteners, and
spacers as described in 3a on Page 9. Completely
hand tighten screws to 18 in-lbs. Do not use power
tools.
Once installed, be sure that the drain cover support plate
is firmly in place and cannot be pulled out of the pool or
spa surface. If the drain cover support plate is not firmly in
place, re-read these instructions and try another installation
method (perhaps 3e) (Fig. 6).
WARNING
- Failure to securely fasten black support
plate can result in injury or death.
4. Securely snap all six oval slot plugs provided into
the six slots in the drain cover support plate. Use
the plugs without tabs (marked C) over screws
(tabs may be broken off if necessary). When tabs
are broken off the tree the attachment points at
each end must be trimmed flush for the part to fit
snugly in the support plate.
WARNING
-
FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL
THE PLUGS COULD DISABLE THE SAFETY FEA-
TURES OF THE SDX2 RETRO (Fig. 10).
5. Attach the drain cover to the drain cover support
plate using the tool and the three 10x7/8 security
screws provided (Fig. 11). Paramount requires
the use of security screws to secure the cover.
Completely hand tighten screws to 18 in-lbs. Do
not use power tools.
6. If the SDX2 Retro is on a curved wall such as a
spa, or the wall/floor of the pool is uneven, then
the gap between the back plate of the SDX2 and
the pool finish must be filled. An under water ep-
oxy such as AB epoxy putty may be used or if
the pool is empty then silicon glue may be used.
Allow for drying time in both cases before suction
is applied to the drain cover.

If pipe cannot be centered under plate then a 1” deep
sump will give optimum water flow to the pump. If the
pipe can be relatively centered NO SUMP is required.
