  • Swimming pool skimmer duct joint
    Patent number: 6458270
    Abstract: A flange joint that fully isolates the steel sidewall from contact with water entering the skimmer duct of an aboveground pool is provided by the use of a pair of mating flanges fitted to opposite sides of the sidewall. The flanges are comprised of two closely interfitting elements sealed together directly to the metal sidewall by a water-proof adhesive. The flanges include overlapping collars within the sidewall opening which completely seal off and isolate water entering the skimmer duct to prevent any possibility of contact with the metal pool sidewall. Thus, water damage to the pool sidewall is eliminated.
