Zodiac 10168 Backstroke Stanchion Wall Mount

Product Description

The ZODIAC 10168 is a top-eye backstroke stanchion designed for competitive and recreational pool installations. This wall-mount stanchion provides a fixed anchor point for backstroke flags and lane lines, giving swimmers a clear reference during competition and training. Built to standard pool construction practices, the 10168 is a field-installed component typically handled by pool builders, commercial aquatic facility contractors, and experienced pool service professionals. The top-eye design allows direct attachment of rope or cable without additional hardware adapters.

The 10168 is suited for both residential and commercial pool environments where backstroke turn and flag line anchoring is required. It mounts directly to the pool wall, making it compatible with standard in-wall installation methods used in new construction and renovation projects. This stanchion is appropriate for competitive swim programs, swim clubs, and municipal aquatic facilities that require consistent backstroke flag placement per governing body guidelines.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed pool contractor or commercial aquatic facility builder. Drain or isolate the affected wall area before beginning any wall-penetration work. Follow all local building codes and applicable aquatic facility standards when mounting hardware to pool walls. Do not overtighten mounting fasteners against pool wall substrates without appropriate backing or anchor inserts.
