Installation of Triton Check Valve with TidalWave
Pump and Atlantic Skimmer and Pump Vaults
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
corresponding reference mark is a letter, then the 1½” threaded end of the
discharge pipe will be used. If the corresponding reference mark is a number,
then the 2” threaded end of the discharge pipe will be used.

Shaded areas denote pumps that exceed maximum ow rates or dimension for use
with the corresponding Skimmer/ Pump Vault. Use of this equipment combination is
not recommended and could void the warranty.
* The discharge pipe can be extended with 2” PVC pipe and a coupling for use with the
PS15000 Skimmer or Pump Vaults Extensions.
* Atlantic Classic Skimmers (PS4000/4500), use the same ‘perfect cut’ dimensions as the
PS4600.

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.
Use a small piece of sandpaper to smooth out the cut end of the discharge
pipe. Clean the 2” socket tting 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 dis-
charge pipe into the 2” socket tting. Hold
the discharge pipe rmly in place for a few
seconds, giving the glue time to set up.
NOTE: If you have removed the 2” socket tting 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 tting 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 TW2 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 tting of the Triton
Check Valve to the PVC supply line that feeds
the waterfall using PVC glue and Cleaner.

For your convenience; 2” and 1-1/2” outlet ttings are supplied with the Triton
Check Valve.
NOTE: If you have removed the outlet tting from the check valve prior to gluing the connection,
make sure to slide the union nut onto the supply pipe before gluing the socket tting in place.
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-t’ 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-t’
reference mark. 1” cut-to-t
reference marks are molded in
both directions on the discharge
pipe. Locate the thread size needed
for your pump and count up from
there until you nd the correct
mark. Cut the discharge pipe and
follow the instructions above to
complete installation.
NOTE: If your cut-to-t reference number is
larger than 9 ½”, you will need to extend the
discharge pipe. This can easily be done using
standard 2” PVC pipe and ttings.
