Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Use proper thread seal (pool-rated PVC thread sealant or Teflon tape) when installing to avoid leaks.
- Ensure return plumbing is clean and free of debris before threading in the fitting, to avoid cross-threading or damage to the orifice.
- Check orientation — align the fitting so the return stream is directed appropriately for optimal circulation.
- Inspect periodically for cracking, wear or chemical degradation — replace if fitting shows signs of stress, especially in saltwater or high-chemical pools.
