INSTALLATION

1. Determine the best location for the weir along the perimeter of
the water feature.
2. Determine the pipe size needed to deliver the desired flow.
NOTE: The weir can accommodate either 2" or 3" pipe, but
includes only parts for the 2" installation.
3. Determine which weir inlet location - rear, left, or right - works
best for the piping layout.

TO COMPLY WITH THESE
4. NOTE: Each inlet location has a molded-in template that
represents the 3" and 4" hole saw diameters, as well as a center
point for the piloting bit of the saw. This helps ensure accurate
placement of the drilled hole.
Using a 3" hole saw (for 2" pipe) or 4" hole saw (for 3" pipe), drill
through the weir at the desired inlet location (Figure 1).
5. Insert the pipe grommet into the drilled hole (Figure 2). NOTE:
The grommet for 3" pipe must be purchased separately.
6. Apply lubricant (included) to the outside of the pipe (Figure 3).
This allows easier insertion of the pipe into the grommet.
7. Insert the pipe into the grommet. To help ensure a water-tight
seal, the fit between pipe and grommet should be snug.
8. If the water feature includes a pond liner (or equivalent):
a. Fold up the liner in front of the weir (Figure 4). Place the liner
along the contour of the lower notch; this provides slack in the
liner to accommodate settling of the weir or liner over time.
b. Secure the liner by placing the rubber band (included) into
the upper notch of the weir (Figure 4).
c. Carefully cut the excess liner above the rubber band and
discard it.
9. Place a rock or rocks over the top of the weir to help secure it
and hide it from view (Figure 5, typical installation).
