Introduction
Thank you for selecting the Atlantic Fountain Basin Kit. Before using this
kit please take a moment to review this manual.
Installation Instructions
Step 1:
The above diagram shows the proper installation of the discharge fittings
and Triton 3-way manifold when used with the FB4600 Fountain Basin and
TidalWave 2 pumps. Discharge fittings are included for the connection of
the TW1900 & TW2400 as well as the TW3700 & TW4800. If installing a
TW3700 or TW4800, the threaded coupling that is supplied with the pump
will need to be removed to accept the 1-1/2” female thread adaptor.
NOTE:
THIS PLUMBING KIT IS INTENDED FOR USE WITH THE FB4600 FOUNTAIN BASIN. THIS
PLUMBING KIT CAN BE INSTALLED WITH THE FB3200 FOUNTAIN BASIN, HOWEVER,
THE TRITON 3 WAY MANIFOLD MUST BE INSTALLED INSIDE THE PUMP CHAMBER AND
ACCESSED BY REMOVING THE PUMP COVER. THE FB3200 IS SUPPLIED WITH ONE
PREDRILLED HOLE THAT WILL ACCEPT A FEED LINE UP TO 1” IN DIAMETER.
ADDITIONAL HOLES WILL NEED TO BE DRILLED ON SITE TO INSTALL THIS PLUMBING
KIT. DRILL POINTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FACTORY OPENING
TO SHOW THE PROPER LOCATION FOR ADDITIONAL FEED LINES.

Step 2:
20’ of 3/4” non kink tubing is included
in this kit. Tubing must be cut to length
on site based on the requirement of the
installation. Begin by installing one end
of the tubing to the outlet of the 3-way
manifold that is closest to the center
of the basin. Loop the tubing into the
first plumbing channel and cut it to the
desired length. Insert the barbed end
of the 3/4” elbow into the open end of
the tubing. Repeat this process for the
remaining manifold outlets.
Step 3:
Place the decorative items (urns,
columns or drilled boulders) on the
fountain basin and position directly over
the 3/4” elbows. Run the 3/4” PVC
standpipe (not included) through the
decorative item and into the socket end
of the 3/4” elbow. Seal the opening
around the standpipe with the supplied
standpipe sealant. Standpipe sealant
is an EPDM based product that will
remain pliable and can be reused.
Step 4:
Atlantic’s Pro Series Fountain Basins
have recessed pockets that allow
1-1/2” conduit sleeves to be installed
within the radius of the basin. This
feature allows access to the pump
cord and low voltage wiring when
surrounding the basin with pavers or
other hardscape materials. Two 1-1/2”
cord stoppers are included to plug the
top of the sleeves to prevent gravel
and other debris from entering
the conduit.
