INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Unlike metallic niches, DuraNiche™ niches are

injection-molded of PVC for superior performance,

non-corrosive durability and plumbing versatility -

plus the lowest installed cost.

The ability to accept PVC over expensive metal

conduit enables DuraNiche™ to offer true bottom

line savings in materials, as well as time to install.

DuraNiche™ comes in three models for concrete/gunite pools,

vinyl/ fiberglass pools, or for concrete/gunite spas. When paired

with a Hayward AstroLite™ or AstroLite II™ light fixture, you have

the best quality and value in a lighting system available anywhere.

To facilitate installation, all DuraNiche™ fixture housings are

packed with U.L. listed conduit fittings (reducer, elbow, and cou-

pling.)
