INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1) Plumb 10-4320 (# 1) Venturi Tee at desired location.
NOTE: Unit must be installed at least 8 inches below water level with Venturi Tee secured to steel, and
installed
straight.
2) Install Pressure Test Cap or Plug into Venturi Tee.
3) Shoot gunite leaving an open area around pipe approximately 4-1/2” deep x 6-1/2” wide.
(These dimensions are from intended plaster finish.)
NOTE: Proper care should be taken to maintain an adequate wall thickness to provide for structural
support of jet assembly.
4) After pressure test, remove Cap or Plug from Venturi Tee.
5) The exposed pipe (Venturi Tee Barrell) needs to be cut back approximately 2-3/4” from intended
plaster finish. This is to allow 10-4332 (#3) Gunite Niche Adapter to be recessed the proper distance
into the wall. (The outer edge of the 10-4332 Niche Adapter should finish exactly even with plaster.)
NOTE: Remove nozzle from tee when cutting tee to proper length. After cutting tee to proper length,
cut nozzle, if necessary, to assure distance behind back of eyeball is between 1/2” - 1“.
Reinstall nozzle in tee.
6) Glue 10-4322 (#3) Gunite Niche Adapter to exposed Venturi Tee Barrell using a P.V.C. cement.
7) Thread 10-4333 (#6) Gunite Niche Adapter Test Plug into Niche Adapter. This will keep plaster and
