Mounting flanges on the pool fittings

To continue filling the pool, flanges must be mounted successively on the return fitting (when the water
level is 20 cm below the return fitting) and on the skimmer (when the water level is 5 cm underneath the
skimmer).
Check the hydraulic circuit for leaks while the pool is filling (pump, unions, filter, pool fittings).
8.5.1 Return fitting flange
The procedure to follow for installation of the return fitting flange is illustrated in Figure
• glue the adhesive gasket to the flange, taking care to ensure that the holes in the gasket line up with
the holes in the part ;
• locate and mark the screw housings underneath the liner, hold the part in place and check that the
marks and holes in the flange line up;
• screw the flange onto the body of the return fitting using four countersunk screws 5 × 16, A4 SS
(enclosed with the return fitting), tighten the screws alternately to ensure a leaktight fit. You may pre
pierce the liner with a small screw driver to facilitate insertion of the screws. Tighten moderately by
hand to exert pressure on the seal. Sudden or excessive tightening could split the gasket.
• using a Stanley knife, cut away the liner inside the flange.
• lastly, screw the eyeball-union-trim assembly onto the return fitting body.
8.5.2 Skimmer flange
The procedure to follow for installation of the skimmer flange is illustrated in Figure 30
• glue the second gasket onto the inner surface of the skimmer flange;
• locate the 4 holes in the corners of the skimmer underneath the liner and mark them;
• screw the flange onto the skimmer through the 4 corner holes. Proceed fastening the skimmer in
place using the 18 countersunk screws, 5.5 × 25, A4 SS, tighten the screws alternately (provided
in the bag enclosed with the skimmer). Tighten moderately by hand to exert pressure on the seal.
Sudden or excessive tightening could split the gasket.
• using a Stanley knife, cut away the liner inside the flange. Keep the off cuts for future repair.
• Put the skimmer weir in position, smooth side facing towards the pool, by pushing the tabs into
the notches provided for that purpose in the bottom of the skimmer. The weir should swing freely,
however it should not be able to swing out over the pool (the stopper at the top of the skimmer should
prevent this). Lastly, clip on the skimmer face plate.
• to finish, put the skimmer flange trim in position.
Place a pre-filter in the round section of the skimmer, this is comprised of a stainless steel ring and bag
made of fabric (supplied).
