Installation & Compatibility Notes
During installation, set the socket level and flush with the deck surface, ensuring the bonding screw is accessible. Insert the tubing or fixture (rails, games, ladder) into the anchor and secure as required. Confirm that the bonding conductor is properly connected and the ground screw is tightened. Once the fixture is removed, the included cap screws into the anchor to maintain a clean deck surface.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the anchor socket annually for any loosening, corrosion or deck movement around the opening.
- Ensure the bonding screw remains tight and free of corrosion—loose or corroded ground connections can compromise safety.
- Replace the anchor cap if lost or damaged, to prevent debris or insects from entering the socket when no fixture is installed.
