Product details

The Waterway 218-1430 is the white face plate for a steel wall vinyl liner wall fitting, the trim ring that finishes a return on an in-ground vinyl liner pool.

How it works

A vinyl liner wall fitting is a sandwich. The fitting body sits behind the liner, the liner is cut to the opening, and the face plate screws down over the front to squeeze the liner and its gasket against the body. That clamping pressure is the seal, and it is also what stops the cut edge of the vinyl from tearing where the water leaves the wall.

When to replace it

Plates go brittle with age and sunlight and eventually crack around the screw holes. Once the plate is split it no longer pulls the liner down evenly, and water starts finding its way behind the wall. Replacing it is far cheaper than chasing the leak that follows. If the gasket underneath is hard or flattened, change it while the plate is off.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What does the face plate do?
It is the outer trim ring of a vinyl liner wall fitting. It clamps the liner against the fitting body so the wall penetration seals and the cut edge of the liner is covered.
Is the whole wall fitting included?
The source description is written loosely on this point, so treat this listing as the face plate itself and order the fitting body or gasket separately if you need them.
What color is it?
White.
Which pools is it for?
In-ground vinyl liner pools with a steel wall, on the return fittings.
