7. Attach another length of 1-1/2"Ø PVC Flex Hose (34) to the top end of the 1-1/2"Ø PVC Ball
Valve (33) and run it up through the upper 1-1/2"Ø Pipe Clamps (28) to the 1-1/2"Ø 90º Elbow
(32). See Figure HH.
8. When all of the connections have been made, start at the top and use PVC primer and glue to
attach each connection securely. First place the primer on both surfaces that will be attached,
then place the glue on the connections and slide them together. These are not provided, but can
be purchased at any plumbing supply store.
9. After everything is assembled, use the Vulkem-116 Sealant (14) to fill in all of the galvanizing
holes in the main section metal frame, ladder or stairway, and handrails.
10. The Vortex is designed to connect to a 1-1/2"Ø water supply line. Plumb the water supply from
the pool return line with a 1-1/2"Ø PVC pipe. Position the water supply "stub up" at the base of
the slide's ladder, where the lower end of the 1-1/2"Ø Flex Hose (28) is located. The "stub up"
should be installed prior to mounting the slide to the deck. The "stub up" should be dark grey
PVC to match the slide's plumbing assembly. Extend the water supply "stub up" to a height of
18" above the deck. It can be cut to the desired length later, during the installation process.
11. Attach the "stub up" to the plumbing assembly installed in the slide as necessary.
