1. Install Sleeve: Locate position on vertical pool or spa wall where light is to
be installed. The top of the light lens must be a minimum of four (4) inches
below normal water level. Refer to Figure 1 on page 7 for the exact depth
requirements.
2. Install a 2 inch (5 cm) PVC pipe Schedule 40 15" (38.1 cm) long in the
desired location of the light niche sleeve.
3. Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the niche sleeve (2 inch (5 cm) PVC pipe)
to extend out on both sides of the wall during your gunite operation. Cut
any excess off the pipe so that it is flush against the wall before plastering.
4. Glue a 2" x 1" reducer bushing to the back side of the niche sleeve.
5. Glue the 1" conduit into the reducer as shown below in "Option 1
Installation Diagram". Make sure the 2" PVC pipe Schedule 40.
accommodates for the total length of niche/cone and reducer assembly.
6. Glue the cone into gunite niche (the cone is used to guide the fish tape from
the junction box into the niche).
7. Apply PVC cement to the inside of the sleeve. Slide the gunite niche into
the sleeve until it is flush with the gunite wall.
8. Install the desired color ring to the front of the niche.
Note: If required by local codes, install the light into niche as described on
page 8.
9. Using the niche cover to seal the front of the niche, snap on the gunite
cover over the front of the niche. This will protect the light cooling cavity of
the niche during plastering. Note: If a gunite cover is not available, use
masking tape to protect lens and cooling cavity from plaster operation.
10. Apply gunite plaster to pool wall up to the outer edge of the gunite cover.
The gunite cover should be the only exposed part of the niche after
plastering.
11. After the plastering has been completed, remove and dispose of the gunite
cover.
