- 1-1/2" MIP threaded connection for secure plumbing installation
- ABS construction built for pool environments

Installation Notes
- Verify your return line/fitting accepts a 1-1/2" MIP threaded return inlet.
- Hand-tighten and align the fitting; avoid overtightening plastic threads.
- Aim the eyeball to improve circulation (commonly angled slightly downward and across the pool, depending on layout).
- If you are reducing the return opening size, confirm your pump system can handle the change without excessive backpressure.

Maintenance Tips
- Brush around return fittings regularly to prevent debris and scale buildup.
- If the eyeball becomes hard to adjust, remove and rinse out sand/grit before reinstalling.
- Keep water chemistry balanced to reduce calcium scaling that can restrict the opening over time.
- If overall return flow is weak, check the pump basket and filter condition first—dirty filtration is the most common cause.
