Jet Housing Installation - New Concrete or Gunite Construction
CAUTION: All necessary screws and bolts included with the BaduJet Imperial are stainless steel. ALL screw threads and
threaded inserts are METRIC! ONLY METRIC bolts and nuts may be used! All screws should be HAND TIGHT. DO NOT use
drills or pneumatic tools. DO NOT over tighten!
The following is a list of all parts that ARE NOT USED IN A CONCRETE OR GUNITE INSTALLATION WITHOUT VINYL
LINER:
Gasket with knobs (part# 26)
n
Clamping ring gasket (part# 27)
n
M8 x 30mm Countersunk Screw (part# 98)
n
1. Pre-plumb BaduJet Imperial jet housing:
Install approximately 12" of 4" SCH 40 pipe to both
n
suction and discharge connections on the back of the
jet housing.
NOTE: If total plumbing length exceeds 30 ft between
the jet housing and pump, increase pipe size to 6".
Install 6" x 4" reducer couplings at the jet housing
connections.
2. Install the protective conduit (refer to Figure 11 on page
14 & Figure 20 on page 17):
Glue the metric side of the M25 x 3/4" conduit
n
connector (part# 118) to protective conduit port on
the back of the jet housing.
Install 3/4" flexible or rigid PVC protective conduit to
n
the 3/4" side of the M25 x 3/4" conduit connector. Run
the 3/4" protective conduit to the control box location.
CAUTION: The BaduJet Imperial system includes 30 ft of cable for the LED light and two 30 ft lengths of air tubing for the
air buttons. If the control box cannot be located within 30 ft of the jet housing, please contact the factory at 800-BADUJET
(223-8538) or technical.usa@speck-pumps.com.
3. Install the air regulator hose (refer to Figure 11 on page 14 & Figure 20 on page 17):
Glue the metric side of the M20 x 1/2" conduit connector (part# 117) to the air regulator port on the back of the jet
n
housing.
Install 1/2" flexible or rigid PVC conduit (this serves as the air regulator hose) to the 1/2" side of the M20 x 1/2" conduit
n
connector. Run the 1/2" conduit to a point above the water line (for example, at the equipment pad). Install the 1/2"
check valve (part# 101), O-ring (part# 113), and 1/2" conduit adapter (part# 116) at the end of the 1/2" conduit.
4. Install the bonding wire (Refer to Bonding Installation on page 16.)
5. For poured concrete pools only:
Create formwork for the jet housing using Figures 5 & 6.
n
Drill the four M8 holes marked (1) in Figure 5 in the formwork for the inner pool wall. Cut a 14.5" hole in the formwork
n
for the outer pool wall. CAUTION: The center of the jet housing MUST BE mounted 12" BELOW the water line as
shown in Figures 5 & 6
Insert the round sealing cord (part# 25) in the groove in the back of the jet housing.
n
Place the jet housing between the steel rebar with the back of the jet housing against the hole in the outer wall
n
formwork. Jet housing location is very important (See Figure 6).
Install the four (4) M8 x 80mm gunite cover studs (part# 31) in the front of the jet housing. They should be in the same
n
position as the holes marked (1) in Figure 5. Slide the gunite cover (part# 30) over the studs. Tape the edge of the
gunite around the entire jet housing to keep concrete out of threaded inserts and out of the jet housing.
