"Unfortunately we would need to have these emailed in to do further research. There just enough information to do a quick cross-reference for you"

The ports with the threaded fittings should be able to use something like a Hayward SP1419D if they are 1.5" threads. For the ones with 3 holes, there used to be grates available but I haven't seen them in about 20 years. You can adapt something like this: Aquastar 4hp101. I don't believe that the 3" model is still around. You will have to drill the pool and install nylon anchors for the mounting plate. I have drilled holes, filled them with epoxy and then pushed in a plastic hollow-wall anchor and then attached the mount plate. Never had a leak, just drill about 1.25". You can use the Aquastar type fittings on all the ports if needed.

That is interesting.. Looks like you spin the face and put the screws in 1 and spin it again until all 3 bolts are in... I wonder if someone could use a 3d printer and make a part like that... They have clubs that can do things like that...

I bet a 1/8 inch flat piece of plastic with a 1/2 inch hole in the middle and 3 bolt holes you could make the same thing?? Under 40 bucks and if it works great... I love DIY.. :)


This one may be too thick but maybe it would work??


Put an O ring between the wall and plate??
