FIGURE 1 NOTICE: Pump suction and discharge connections have molded in thread stops. DO NOT try to screw pipe in beyond these stops. Tighten the pump/trap fittings only as much as it is required to insure a tight connection (1-1/2 turns past hand tight is sufficient). Overtightening may damage the pump trap.
Fittings: Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest possible fittings. Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap. Pool fittings must conform to International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. Use only non-entrapping suction fitting or double suction (skimmer and main drain).
