ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP ONE:
Flume Assembly
(Zoom HDW#1)
Tools
Hammer, drill or hammer drill (for masonry deck), 3/8” masonry drill bit, socket wrench with
7/16” and 9/16” sockets, 7/16” open-end wrench, 1/2” open-end wrench, pencil or marker.
Support Base to Flume:
Flatten product box to use as a protective work platform. This prevents possible scratching of
the acrylic slide parts during assembly.
Align pre-drilled holes in the flume support
pipe with those of the receptor on the
underside of the flume.
Using the 1-1/4” long bolt and corresponding
washer, insert the nylon bushing onto bolt.
Use a hammer to gently tap the bolt assembly
into the pipe/receptor.
Secure on the inside of the pipe with 1/4”
nut and corresponding washer using a
7/16” wrench. Repeat for all three holes.

ZOOM-IM Rev. 9/09 (SBK-INSTAL ZOOM)
STEP TWO:
Ladder & Handrail Assembly to Flume
(Zoom HDW#1)
*TIP: Use provided anti-seize lubricant on all bolts!
Slide ladder escutcheon down ladder rail before
attaching the ladder treads. The escutcheon
covers the deck mounting flange and hardware
at the base of the ladder.
Attach vinyl end caps over the open end of the
ladder rail.
Install the ladder treads using the special curved
head bolts inserted from the outer edge of the
ladder rail through the underside of the tread.
Use 1/2” open-end wrench to secure nut and
washer. Important Note: Before tightening
hardware, check tread alignment with rail angle
to ensure proper positioning. Tread groove should
match the angle of the raised rail (illustrated) and
be parallel to the deck’s surface.
Raise flume to an upright position on the
attached support base. Align ladder rail with
corresponding holes found in the rail groove
beneath the seating area of the flume and position
the grab rail above. Insert the 3/8” x 3” bolt
and washer from the bottom of the ladder rail
through the flume into the grab rail. Secure with
a 9/16” wrench. Repeat for second handrail.
Important Note: Handrail must be positioned as
illustrated.

ZOOM-IM Rev. 9/09 (SBK-INSTAL ZOOM)
STEP THREE:
Anchoring to Deck
(Zoom HDW#1 and Zoom HDW#2))
3/8” SS Wedge Anchor in Zoom HDW#1 (ladder to deck – qty 4) and Zoom HDW#2
(support base to deck – qty 3)
Place slide in desired location ensuring location conforms to the Safety Corridor outlined on
page 3. The lip of the flume exit should protrude a minimum of 3” over the pool edge.
Mark the position of the flange holes in the ladder and flume support with a pencil or marker. NOTE: Use of a hammer drill for masonry drilling is recommended. Masonry drills can
be rented at most equipment rental companies.
Using a 3/8” masonry bit, drill holes for ladder 2” deep, and for flume support pedestal 11/2” deep. It is important to drill the holes as perpendicular to the deck surface as possible. (deck slopes may vary) Clean the dust from holes using a shop vacuum or garden hose at
full pressure.
Gently tap the wedge anchors into all drilled holes. Set the slide over the installed wedge
anchors and install washer and nuts. Tighten all wedge anchor nuts at this time to 25 ft.
lbs. of torque.
Secure vinyl nut caps over exposed threads of the flume support base.

ZOOM-IM Rev. 9/09 (SBK-INSTAL ZOOM)
STEP FOUR:
Water Supply Hook Up
Kit contains: a length of 1-1/4” corrugated hose, (1) two part plastic fitting, and (2) plastic
clamps.
Wet one end of the hose and slide onto the
fitting on the underside of the flume (illustrated).
Secure with plastic clamp by pinching together the
interlocking teeth.
Turn off your filtration system before connecting
the other end of the hose to your pool return fitting.
Remove the collar that secures the directional
“eyeball” fitting in your pool return, located inside
you pool (example illustrated). There are many
variations of return fittings, however, the two
adapter fittings provided should fit your pool.
Hand Tighten Only! You want to be able to
remove the hose fitting from your wall return
when your slide is not in use.
Slide the hose over the lipped flange of the
provided adapter fitting until the lip locks into the
corrugated hose. Attach the plastic clamp, do
not over tighten! You should be able to swivel
the adapter fitting inside the corrugated hose.
This allows for hand threading the adapter fitting
to the return and the removal of the adapter fitting
when the slide is not in use.
Turn on your filtration system and your
Zoomerang™ is ready for action!

Minimum Concrete Pads – Zoomerang™ Slide
(Plan View – NOT to Scale)
Pool Edge
2 concrete pads are needed:
(1) 12” wide x 32” long x 12” deep
(1) 24” wide x 24” long x 12” deep
Center feet on pads
When installing an Inter-Fab Zoomerang™ slide using a paver kit, you must ensure that all standard
installation requirements are met. The slide must be compatible with the type of pool on the intended
installation and all ANSI/NSPI-2003 requirements must be met. Refer to installation manual.
Figure 1 illustrates an example of the minimum concrete pads recommended for the
Zoomerang™ slide. Specific slide position and concrete pad orientations may vary. Make sure
to allow for water stub up location near the ladder section on the Zoomerang™ slide when pouring
the concrete pad for the ladder section.
In order to ensure proper placement, you will need to
set the slide up first to determine where the concrete pillars will be located.
Figure 2 shows a side view illustration of the Zoomerang™ slide foot pedestal and wedge
anchors used in a paver installation. Pavers can be a maximum of 3” thick. Pavers must be
mechanically attached to the concrete pad using a setting material (such as mortar or thinset
for example) that is no thicker than 3/8”.
For the ladder attachment, 1” of each 3/8” x 7” wedge anchor (4 ea.) needs to be exposed
above the final deck surface. The 3/8” wedge anchors must be drilled to a depth of 6” with 1”
of the bolt left remaining above the final deck surface. For the foot pedestal, 1-1/2” of each
3/8” x 7” wedge anchor (3 ea.) needs to be exposed above the final deck surface. The 3/8”
x 7” wedge anchors must be drilled to a depth of 5-1/2” with 1-1/2” of the bolt left remaining
above the final deck surface. The 3/8” x 7” wedge anchors (7 ea.) replace the 3/8” x 2-3/4”
wedge anchors (4) from hardware kit #1 and the 3/8” x 2-3/4” wedge anchors (3) from hardware
kit #2. You will need to factor in the thickness of your paver (3” MAX.) and the thickness of your
setting material (3/8” MAX.) for your individual installation.
You will need a 3/8” masonry bit for the Zoomerang™ slide.
Inter-Fab Inc. will not be responsible for damage to pavers caused by drilling or mechanically
attaching to concrete pad. Refer to paver manufacturer’s specific installation instructions
before beginning.
