STEP 2
Assemble Waterfall Plumbing
Your Blue Thumb Elite Waterfall Box has two
spinweld ttings, one on each side of the
bottom of the box. Choose which side your
feed/hose line will come in and thread the PVC
male adapter into that spinweld (use the Teon
Tape (included) on the threads rst).
Thread the PVC plug into the remaining
spinweld. Use the Teon Tape (included)
on the threads rst.
If desired, you can use the second spinweld for
a second pump line or for a back-ush system.
Position Waterfall Box
Compact the area where the waterfall box will
sit to prevent future settling. The waterfall box
should sit level from side to side and should be
tilted forward slightly (about ¼ bubble on your
level) to ensure that the water ows forward
through the spillway.
Hook-Up Flexible PVC Pipe
The 14” & 22” Elite Waterfalls are plumbed
to accept 2” Flexible PVC Pipe; the 30” Elite
Waterfall is plumbed to accept either 2” or 3”
Flexible PVC Pipe; and the 40” Elite Waterfall
is plumbed to accept 3” Flexible PVC Pipe.
We recommend using Flexible PVC pipe as it
is very exible and easy to work with.
Using PVC Primer & Cement, glue the ex
pipe into the PVC male adapter.
