Waterway Plastics 215-1071 Gunite Wall Fitting - Black

What This Part Is Used For
The Waterway Plastics 215-1071 gunite wall fitting is used in concrete and gunite pool construction to form a clean, secure interface between the pool wall and the circulation plumbing. It provides a stable connection point for return fittings, eyeballs, or directional outlets. This fitting is installed during the shell phase and becomes permanently embedded in the wall. It is commonly found in return lines where durability and long-term sealing are critical.

Why This Part Matters
Wall fittings serve as the foundation for every return component installed afterward. If the wrong fitting is used or installed improperly, it can lead to leaks behind the shell or misaligned return fittings. A properly sized gunite wall fitting ensures the return assembly threads in correctly and remains serviceable. Choosing the correct fitting upfront prevents costly rework and long-term water loss.
