Lion head water feature

Hello Bam123 - Below are the instructions we found for installing the water feature.

All Aqua Accents should be installed on the tile or face of a wall. It is not recommended that these items be installed in concrete, thin set or grout, as expansion and contraction can cause cracks or separations.

TOOLS REQUIRED

a) Hacksaw or pipe cutting tool
b) Exterior grade silicon adhesive or similar construction adhesive or epoxy
c) Tape measure
d) 1" drill bit (for Sconces only)

PLUMBING REQUIREMENT

a) ¾" PVC pipe
b) Plumbing should be installed through the wall of the pool or fountain in the exact location for the installation of the Aqua Accent. Please note: Each of the Aqua Accents can be installed either in the pipe socket in the back of the unit or can be installed in the cavity of the product. This provides more flexibility in the pipe location and in assuring that multiple units can be installed evenly on the wall.
c) A valve should be installed on each plumbing line to the Aqua Accents. If multiple Accents are installed, separate valves need to be installed in positions that allow individual adjustment.

INSTALLATION - ALL ACCENTS EXCEPT SCONCES

Place Aqua Accent on the wall over the pipe. Measure and align the Accent and mark the exact location. (Please note: plumbing can either be installed in the pipe socket or in the cavity behind the Aqua Accent.) Measure the pipe length from the wall to the socket and make the appropriate cut. A guideline for each of the units is shown below along with dimensions and weights. If the pipe is going to discharge into the cavity behind the accent, cut pipe to assure proper flow into the cavity. When making a cavity installation the adhesive around the flange must be continuous to avoid leakage. Apply a continuous bead of silicon, or similar adhesive around the rear flange of the Aqua Accent. Install on the wall over the pipe and align. Remove any excess adhesive. If the pipe is installed in the socket, apply silicon to the pipe and in the hole of the Accent. Make sure to use a smooth tool to remove the excess in and around the water exit hole to assure proper water flow through the mouth. The adhesive should hold the Aqua Accent in place. In the event the unit does not stay secure, apply tape or similar means to the unit. Once the adhesive is dry, the Aqua Accent will be secure.
NOTE: The pipe can be installed in either the pipe socket located in the back of the Aqua Accent or the pipe can discharge the water into the cavity in the back and then flow out of the mouth. If discharging water into the cavity, the adhesive must be applied in a continuous bead around the flange of the unit.

SCONCE INSTALLATION

Installing a sconce requires a slightly different installation technique. First, align the sconce and mark where the pipe needs to penetrate the back. Next, drill a pipe installation hole using the 1” drill bit. (NOTE: It is preferred that the hole is as low on the back as possible to help level the water flow. In the event this is not possible, allow enough room in the unit and the cut the pipe to allow for a ¾" 90 degree elbow to be installed. Apply the silicon in a continuous bead around the back of the sconce and around the pipe hole. Install the sconce, align and then install additional adhesive around the pipe hole. Make sure to wipe off all excess adhesive. Allow the adhesive to dry and the unit is ready to be started.
