Install Collars

When the pool interior is completely clean and ready

for the final finish application, install the collars (see

Figure 9).

1. Set blue protective caps in collars.

2. Use heavy bodied PVC glue to secure the

cleaning collars. (Primer can be used on the

stub-ups but not the collars. Use glue on both.)

3. Push collar firmly into pipe with a 1/4 turn.

4. Ensure collar is perpendicular with pool shell; you

can rotate the 2-1/2 Ultraflex

collar up to 10° to

accommodate a crooked 2.5" stub-up.

For Vinyl Liner Pools:

Pool liner must be in final position before installing collars

and cleaning heads (see Figure 10).

1. Press locking ring firmly into place in groove on collar

fitting. Installation Tip: Turn collar upside down and use

as a tool to press ring into place.

2. Use a razor knife to cut liner inside the locking ring,

leaving at least a ¼ in. (0.6 cm) edge around the ring

perimeter.

3. Tighten the collar into the collar fitting, turning clockwise

until the collar lip fits snugly against locking ring.

4. Insert Metal Combination Tool (part #3-17-7) into collar

and rotate clockwise until collar is firmly seated.
