Typical Applications

This return fitting is typically installed during new pool construction or used as a replacement when an existing fitting becomes cracked, worn, or begins leaking. Suitable for standard wall returns that circulate filtered water back into the pool.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Turn off the pump and depressurize the system prior to installation. Thread the fitting into the existing return port or wall fitting, ensuring the gasket is properly positioned to form a seal. Install the desired return eyeball or directional nozzle into the threaded opening. Check that all connections are tight and leak-free once circulation resumes.

Why Choose This Fitting?

Maintenance Tips

Inspect the return area periodically for drips or moisture that may indicate gasket wear.
Replace the return eyeball or directional nozzle if flow becomes restricted or the nozzle shows signs of damage.
During winterizing, remove the eyeball insert and install a compatible winter plug as recommended for your climate.
Avoid overtightening, which can stress or crack the fitting over time.
