FOOTNOTES ON STEP MANIFOLD PLUMBING
When plumbing step manifolds that in lude Ben h nozzles, follow the
pro edure pi tured in luding the ben h nozzles in the manifold. Pla e

INSTALLATIONS
Using 2” PVC, onstru t the manifold in a manor that best suits the sit-
uation.
Plumbing the Vantage system while on the delivery trailer (if the driver

must set your pool on the ground, be sure to pla e support blo ks
under it, do not allow the pool to rest on Vantage ports.)
All plumbing is 2” ridgid s hedule 40 PVC. Make sure and keep all
plumbing as lose to the vessel as possible for easy pla ement in your
ex avation.
The Vantage system is a pressure side leaner, be sure to make solid
glue joints.
