Paramount PARASCOPE Manual De Instalación página 2

1. Choose location for the Fountains. Note 1: If pool
is to be winterized go to Page 2 - Plumbing For
Pools That Must Be Winterized. Note 2: Maximum
water depth that they can be installed is 38 inches,
and the fountain can be plumbed no closer than 6
inches from the front edge of the step or shelf area
or 11 inches from the back or side of the step or
shelf area. (Fig. 1)
2. Dig trenches for 1-½" Sch. 40 plumbing to the
location of the Fountain allowing for the top of the
tee to be 8" below top of finished gunite level.
3. You may cut the Fountain Housing Shaft at the
marker indicating your water depth to minimize the
need for digging a deep hole for the shaft, however
this step is optional. Keep the top end of the pipe
and discard the lower end with the higher numbers.
(Fig. 2)
4. Remove the sticker from the Fountain Housing
Shaft to ensure proper seal to the Tee and the cap.
5. Glue the Fountain Housing Shaft and Paramount Riser
Pipe to opposite ends of the Tee, and a 2" Cap to the
bottom of the Housing Assembly. (Fig. 3)
6. At the location of the fountain dig a vertical shaft
deep enough below the trench to accommodate the
Fountain Housing Assembly.
7. Each Fountain must be fed by a separate 1-½" Sch.
40 pipe and gate valve to allow each fountain to be
adjusted separately. Glue the Fountain Housing to
the feed pipe so that it is plumb.
8. Glue the Cap onto the Paramount Riser for
pressure testing. (Fig. 3)
9. Pressure-test the Fountain Housing to code
(pressure to remain on system until plaster).
10. Backfill the plumbing trenches with dirt to maintain
its vertical alignment. If there is a vertical trench
in the side wall of the pool, pack dirt around the
bottom end of the Fountain Housing to hold
it plumb and stabilize it. Note: If the Fountain
Housing is not plumbed vertically it will not retract
properly
11. DO NOT HEAT BEND OR ANGLE the riser for
the Fountain when installing on a sloped surface,
such as a beach entry. Doing so will not allow you
to install the fountain or may cause the Fountain
Shaft to bind and not raise or lower. (Fig. 4)
