Hydraulic Hose Connections for the Deck Mount Fastlane
Bookmark This Page | Send To A Friend
Routing the hydraulic hoses that connect the Power Unit
to the Deck Mount Fastlane requires some consideration. To avoid damage
from lawn mowers and other equipment between the edge of the
pool deck and the Power Unit, the hoses should be buried a
few inches below ground level. They may be buried directly,
but standard 2" polyethylene tubing can serve as a durable,
maintenance-free conduit. If necessary, the hydraulic lines
can be left aboveground.
We realize that running these hoses across the pool deck
may not be aesthetically pleasing. Therefore, EPI offers a
rubber hose cover that is custom-molded for our Fastlane hoses.
This rubber extrusion is the quickest and easiest way to manage
the hoses as they cross the pool deck (See diagram #1).
Another, more permanent option is to cut a channel 2"
wide and 4" deep into the pool deck to accommodate our
deck channel system. EPI offers covers for this channel
in silver, tan, and white (See diagram
#2). A third alternative is to bury the hoses completely using
2" conduit and have them emerge under the escutcheon
(See diagram #3).
Call your design representative to discuss these various
options.
