Is there no bonding connection for those anchors?
These rails are polymer and don't require a bonding connection which is why we use them. The anchors actually DO have a provision for a bond if you wanted to use one and install a stainless steel rail but with a polymer rail there's no need to. This is why we choose this style rail for retrofit installations. Honestly I feel polymer rails are safer regardless of a bond wire, people have been shocked in pools with proper bonding grids. In addition corrosion is not a problem as we see with aluminum anchors and SS rails.
What size core bit did you use?
Four inch is the correct size.
Where are the safety loops on a jandy lrz pool heater
Not sure what you're asking but all pool heaters have several "safety" devices in place to break the circuit so it won't fire under some conditions. This would be hi limit switches, pressure switches, fusible links, sometimes a fireman's switch, roll out sensors, etc. Oftentimes they can be jumped to diagnose a heater but I'd never suggest someone doing that unless they're familiar with repairing heaters and working with gas and electric. Be safe.
What tupe of coring device do i need?
If you're going to do it yourself I would suggest renting a core drill with a stand and a 4" bit, if you're going to use official SAFTRON branded sockets they actually suggest a 3" bit and overlapping holes (a 4" is not large enough with one hole) For this job in the video we used a 4" bit on an SDS Max drill made by bosch but it's not ideal and have since purchased a coring drill made just for the job. Coring drills and bits are upwards of $1500 for a basic one which is why I suggest renting the gear. Trying to start a coring bit without a stand is very difficult so I'd definitely recommend getting the stand.
Can you remove the rail using this method shown? I would like to have a pool rail that can be removed. I thought using anchor sockets would allows to do that, but the video makes me think I am making a wrong assumption.
Yes, the rail is removable from the sockets. Just loosen the bolt with a 1/2" wrench, push down on the bolt (which connects to a wedge) and they lift the rail out of the socket. It's rare to see non removable rails on pools in our location since we cover them in the winter and rails would make installing the cover more difficult.
So is that the Saftron groutless EZ Socket? I saw they had another but directions required grout.
@@elasykes No, we haven't used any grout-less sockets, all the ones we use require pouring anchoring cement around them after coring out the cement, however the escutcheon covers the cement so even if it doesn't math it cannot be seen. These aren't saftron branded sockets but another mfg, the saftron ones are slightly larger and require 2 overlapping 3" holes, these fit cleanly inside one 4" cored out hole. We've used both depending on the application.
@@elasykes it's just a plastic socket that can be installed into poured cement. In this case I cored out 2 holes but it can also be used on new insallations before the cement is in. It's not a Saftron branded socket but it is a well made one.
Who is the manufacturer if it is not Saftron?@@BobsPoolService
