Welcome to Backyardplus! In this post, we show you how to replace the Light Lens wall-fitting on a Hot Spring, and Tiger River spa. Before we get started, Let’s go over the tools and parts you will need.
Tools you will need:
- Phillips head screwdriver
- Grinder
- Orbital sander
- Masking tape
- Rubbing alcohol
- Latex gloves
Parts you will need:
- 71925 Light Lens Wall-fitting
- 72961 Adhesive Repair Kit
- 72961-DIS Epoxy Gun
Step 1. Disconnect power, drain the spa, and remove all the equipment from the equipment compartment.
Step 2. Remove the bezel and light lens from the spa.
Step 3. Using the grinder, grind the wall-fitting down from the inside of the equipment compartment until it is flush with the wall and falls off. Be very careful not to go too deep or you will compromise the shell. Use a Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel to access the areas the grinder cannot reach.
Step 4. Sand the area where the wall-fitting was with 40 grit, and then finish it with 80 grit sandpaper until it is even on all sides.
Step 5. Clean the wall-fitting area on the equipment side with rubbing alcohol.
Step 6. Cover the threads of the new wall-fitting with masking tape and clean the area to be glued with rubbing alcohol.
Step 7. Install the nozzle on the epoxy and place it in the dispensing gun. Put your gloves on.
Step 8. Place a 3/8 bead of epoxy around the perimeter of the wall-fitting.
Step 9. Install the wall-fitting firmly into the opening. Place a second bead of epoxy around the edge of the wall-fitting in the equipment compartment.
Step 10. Secure the wall-fitting with two clamps.
Step 11. After curing for 24 hours, remove the two clamps, and the masking tape. Install the light lens and bezel.
