How to plug the suction line ports

[Dent42]

Just added a Hayward thru wall skimmer to a Coleman 18' Power Steel and now I am trying to figure out how best to plug the 2 unused ports.

What are some of the options that have worked best?

there are a couple of things you can do and they require the same things..

you may have to cut the hole a little bigger to install but once in you can get a 1.5 inch plug from lowes and it will no longer work..

Or you can run 1.5 inch pipe back to your pump and have extra returns

I have 2 suction side and 2 returns...

Ok, sounds like an end of the year project.
I have an extra Hayward fitting that I bought for the return before I decided to get the skimmer that comes with one.
