Installation of Triton Check Valve with TidalWave Pump and Atlantic Skimmer and Pump Vaults

Step 1 – Identifying reference mark

Locate the model number of the Atlantic Skimmer/Pump Vault and TidalWave pump used for this installation on the chart below. Follow the corresponding column down and row across until they intersect. The number or letter at the intersection point is the ‘perfect cut’ reference mark for this installation. If the cor- responding reference mark is a letter, the 11/2” threaded end of the discharge pipe will be used. If the corresponding reference mark is a number, the 2” threaded end of the discharge pipe will be used.

Step 2 – Cutting the discharge pipe

Locate the correct reference mark for this installation on the discharge pipe. Using a hacksaw or PVC saw, cut the pipe at this mark, being careful to make a clean, square cut. Discard the end of the discharge pipe that will not be used.

Step 3 – Extending the discharge pipe

Installation of the TR215CV with the PS11000 and PS15000 skimmers requires using the 6” discharge extension to lengthen the discharge pipe. If you are not installing the TR215CV in a PS11000 or PS15000 skimmer, skip to Step 4. Use a small piece of sandpaper to smooth out the cut end of the discharge pipe. Clean the 2” socket fitting on the discharge extension and the cut end of the discharge pipe with PVC cleaner/primer. Apply PVC glue and insert the discharge pipe into the discharge ex- tension. Hold the pieces firmly in place for a few seconds, giving the glue time to set.

Step 4 – Connecting the discharge pipe

Use a small piece of sandpaper to smooth out the cut end of the discharge pipe. Clean the 2” socket fitting on the bottom of the check valve and the cut end of the discharge pipe with PVC cleaner/primer. Apply PVC glue and insert the discharge pipe into the 2” socket fitting. Hold the discharge pipe firmly in place for a few seconds, giving the glue time to set. NOTE: If you have removed the 2” socket fitting from the bottom of the check valve prior to gluing the connection, make sure to slide the union nut onto the discharge pipe before gluing the socket fitting in place. Attach the Triton Check Valve to the TidalWave pump by threading the discharge pipe into the pump discharge. NOTE: If you are installing a TW-Series pump, you will need to use the threaded transition coupling that is supplied with the pump to make this connection. If you are installing a SH-Series pump, you will need to use the threaded transition elbow that is supplied with the pump to make this connection. Place the TidalWave pump with installed Triton Check Valve into your Atlantic Skimmer/Pump Vault. Connect the outlet fitting of the Triton Check Valve to the PVC supply line that feeds the waterfall using PVC glue and cleaner.

Step 5 – Connecting the outlet pipe

Connection to Flexible PVC pipe:
For your convenience, 2” and 1 ½” outlet socket fittings for connection to flexible PVC pipe are supplied with the Triton Check Valve. Remove the union nut on the outlet of the check valve. Insert the desired socket fitting into the union nut and reconnect to the check valve.

Use PVC cleaner/primer to clean the outlet socket fitting and the end of the outlet pipe. Apply PVC glue and insert the outlet pipe into the outlet fitting of the check valve. Hold the outlet pipe firmly in place until the glue sets.

Connection to Kink-free tubing:
An insert step fitting for connection to 1”, 1 ¼” or 1 ½” kink-free tubing is supplied with the Triton Check Valve. Begin by installing the 2” outlet socket fitting per the instructions above. Use PVC cleaner/primer to clean the outlet socket fitting and the insert step fitting. Apply PVC glue and insert the step fitting into the outlet fitting on the check valve. Hold the fitting firmly in place until the glue sets. If using 1¼” or 1½” tubing, the insert fitting will need to be trimmed to provide the proper outlet diameter for maximum water flow. Use a hacksaw or PVC saw to cut off smaller, unneeded inset steps at the cut lines indicated below.

Complete installation by tightening the union nuts on the Triton Check Valve. HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. DO NOT USE CHANNEL LOCKS TO TIGHTEN THE UNION NUTS.

Installation of Triton Check Valve if Using Any Equipment Combination Not Listed Above

If you are using an equipment combination not listed above, you will need to use the 1” ‘cut-to-fit’ reference marks on the back side of the discharge pipe. Place the pump inside the skimmer or pump vault being used. Measure the distance between the center of the outlet pipe and the top of the pump discharge. Subtract 7” from this number. This is your ‘cut-to-fit’ reference mark. 1” cut-to-fit reference marks are molded in both directions on the dis- charge pipe. Locate the thread size needed for your pump and count up from there until you find the correct mark. Cut the discharge pipe and follow the instructions above to complete installation.

NOTE: If your cut-to-fit reference number is larger than 9 ½”, you will need to extend the disharge pipe. This can easily be done using the supplied 6” discharge extension or standard 2” PVC pipe and fittings.
