1. Make sure mounting surface is flat. The suction cover and fitting must sit flush with the mounting surface to prevent any gaps
between the cover and the wall. Gaps between the cover and the wall will create hair entrapment hazards.
After selecting a flat mounting surface that will accommodate the fitting you have chosen, use the proper size hole saw to cut/
drill the hole.

2. The gasket, if used, must be installed on the outside surface of the spa/tub. Make sure the sealing and mounting surfaces are
smooth and flat to provide for safety and a good seal.
3. Before installing the fitting in the hole you cut in step 1, apply silicone, which is compatible with ABS and PVC plastic, to the
threads and the back of the flange. This will help seal the wall fitting and nut against the spa/tub wall.
4. Install the fitting in the hole and tighten nut. Nutshould be no more than hand tight - DO NOT overtighten. Never exceed 8
foot pounds of torque when installing fitting.
Additional Requirements for:

ALWAYS USE MULTIPLE SUCTION OUTLETS. IF THE FITTING/COVER BREAKS, IS DAMAGED, OR IS MISSING, SHUT THE
SYSTEM DOWN IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE COVER(S) HAVE BEEN REPLACED.
