Tray Mounts

This housing features two 1/4-20 threaded tray mounts on the bottom

of the housing. The spacing between the tray mounts is 3” (76.2 mm).

Optional tray with handles and mounting hardware are sold separately.

It is recommended to detach and thoroughly rinse the tray mounts,

tray, and mounting hardware, with fresh water routinely during

continuous use and prior to storage.

Accessory Ports

This housing features a spare accessory port which may be used

for the attachment of optional accessories. This port accepts ttings

designed for a 1/2” through or 1/2-20 threaded hole.

The optional Vacuum Kit # 47012 may be installed in place of the side

accessory port. A hand pump with gauge allows you to draw a vacuum

on the house to simulate water pressure and check for leaks prior to

entering the water.

Visit ikelite.com for an updated list of compatible products.

»Do not remove or loosen the accessory port plug unless you

are installing a compatible accessory.

The shutter lever may be extended to be closer to your hand when

using an optional tray with right-hand quick release handle. This
