ABSTRACT:
A fitting and faceplate cap assembly, for use in swimming pools, and the like, with vinyl liners, comprises a fitting member which extends through an opening in the wall of the pool with a flange overlying the opening on the inner surface of the pool. The fitting is hollow to adapt it for connection to water return lines or drain lines commonly used in such swimming pools. The flange on the fitting has a circular groove formed in it with a pair of enlarged recesses extending from the groove on opposite sides of the opening through the fitting. The faceplate cap includes a circular ridge with a pair of spaced projections for matingly engaging the groove and recesses in the faceplate of the fitting. A gasket is attached to the inner surface of the faceplate cap. This gasket has a tacky adhesive on the exposed surface which faces the flange so that when the cap is pressed into place over a vinyl liner (installed in a conventional manner) to engage the groove in the flange, the tacky adhesive on the gasket engages and holds the vinyl liner in place. The cap and fitting are subsequently pressed tightly together by means of a threaded insert in the common opening of the fitting and cap.
