Section II.
Concrete/Gunite Installation Instructions.
A. Locate position on the vertical wall where the light is to be installed. The top of the light lens must be a
minimum of 18 in. below normal water level.
B. Connect conduit to the niche using a recommended thread sealant.
C. Connect bonding wire from rebar and bonding grid to the bonding lug at the rear of the niche.
D. Bond the niche-fixture housing to all other metallic items within five (5) feet of the pool, using a No. 8 AWG
wire. Bond connection is located at the rear of the niche.
E. If non-metallic conduit is used, a No. 8 AWG bonding/grounding wire must be installed through the conduit
from the Junction Box to the bonding/grounding lug inside the niche. The connection inside the niche must be
sealed with a listed sealant such as 3M Scotchcast 2135 or equivalent.
F. Support conduit to hold niche the proper distance in front of rebar so that the front of the mounting ring is
flush with the desired finish surface.
G. If the pool is to be plastered, you must allow proper concrete cut-back for plaster thickness.
Finished concrete surface must be cut-back behind the niche flange. Finished area surrounding the niche must
be flat and flush with the brass mounting ring on the front of the niche. This ensures a snug fit between light
and wall.
