bolts through corner holes in mounting plate,
through pre-cut holes in pool wall and
through corner holes in plastic backup
plates securing with T-nuts.
Hand tighten only.
Finish securing backup plates with
4 sheet metal screws per diagram.
The skimmer faceplate is attached

Inground installation, see page 15.
The return fitting is comprised of 3 pieces:
inlet fitting, SP 1091Z10 and back nut.
(fig. J)
In geographic areas of deep winter ground
freezing, an inlet plate (#3185) is
recommended.
Install the return fitting by threading the
SP 1091Z10 into the inlet fitting. Place the
assembly into the pre-cut hole, slide the inlet
plate over the exposed threads and then
thread the back nut onto the SP 1091Z10
fitting. All threaded connections should be
prepared using a combination of Teflon tape
and marine grade silicone. The return faceplate
is attached after the liner is installed.
