Aquastar Pool Products 302 Flush Mount Return Fitting

Product Description

The AQUASTAR POOL PRODUCTS 302 is a flush mount return fitting with integrated water stop, designed for in-ground and above-ground pool circulation systems. It accepts a 1-inch eyeball insert and connects to 1-inch or 1.5-inch plumbing via a slip-in connection. Constructed from UV-resistant ABS, this fitting holds up to prolonged sun exposure and pool water chemistry without becoming brittle. Pool service professionals and plumbers install this fitting in the pool wall to direct return flow back into the pool. The 1-inch opening size and slip-in design make for a straightforward installation in standard return line configurations.

The 302 return fitting is suited for residential pool plumbing where a low-profile, flush-mounted return is required. It works with 1.5-inch pipe at the wall connection and accepts 1-inch pipe or eyeball fittings at the face. The included nut secures the fitting from the wet side of the wall. This fitting is commonly installed during new pool construction or as a direct replacement during pool renovation and equipment service calls where the existing return fitting has cracked, warped, or lost its water stop seal.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by a licensed pool contractor or plumber. Shut off the circulation pump and depressurize the return line before beginning work. The fitting seats into the pool wall from the water side and is secured with the included nut from the plumbing side.
