Installation Instructions

1. Before commencing work, check the fibreglass pane surface roughness. Rough surfaces may need

to be smoothed up by hand or power tools to allow proper water-tightness and adhesion of the silicon

sealant.

2. Cut a circular and uniform hole of 152.5mm diameter in the pool shell approximately 400mm below

the expected water line. To cut the hole, use a jig saw or 6" hole saw tool (run power tool on low rpm)

Do not install deeper than 450mm, as this makes servicing the light difficult.

152.5mm

Note: due to the porosity of the fibreglass wall, it is recommended to use silicone along with the O-ring

provided.

3. Run a small bead of silicone around the inner edge of the niche front lip. Ensure the silicone runs as

one continuous line.

4. Fit the niche through the hole in the pool shell. Ensure the conduit connection point is facing upwards

from the niche.

5. Apply a second heavy bead of silicone to the niche on the outside of the pool wall.

Conduit entry – 20 / 25mm

6. Lightly smear silicone into the O-ring compression recess of the collar nut (item 2030061).

7. Fit the O-ring (item 2030058) to the niche and position it near the wall.

8. Fit the collar nut over the niche and begin to tighten it. As you fasten the nut, allow the silicone to be

pushed against the pool shell wall by the O-ring.

9. Tighten the nut firmly by hand only.
