INGROUND: WALK-IN STEP INSTALLATION
Metric step installation components:
Pool wall height 52" / Step height 48"
• 4" step extension plate to close gap at bottom of step
• Radius step connector - 2 parts (both are 48" long):
- male portion attaches to the pool wall with splines
- female portion is bolted to the step flange
• Standard spline for interior side of pool
• Extended T spline for exterior side to connect A-frame
• Each pool will have 1 panel that is shorter in length,
except the 27' pool which will have 2 shorter panels
1. Position the step in the installation location. Level step,
establish pool height
(pool height will be wall height plus
coping on top)
.
2. Align the female stair connector with the side flange of the
step as pictured. The ‘C’ receiver toward and flush with front
interior edge of the step. The top of the connector at finished
wall height
3. Clamp connector in place, drill step flange at holes in
connector with a 7/16 drill bit, bolt connector to the step,
do not tighten until all panels are completely connected.
4. Slide male step connector down female connector attached
to step.
5. Install standard spline on interior side of pool and extended
T spline on exterior side, connecting the step to the first panel.
6. Install A-frames at the 2 extended splines, check level of step,
tighten the step connector bolts.
7. Check panel joints for proper location-using the radius of pool
from the established center point of the pool.
8. Encase the base of the pool and step with a concrete collar.
See concrete requirements on next page.
9. Follow step Manufacturer’s instructions for installation of step
gasket and faceplate after the liner is installed.
