Rear entry hose connection is the preferred method of pipe connection for the majority of water blade installations. This is because pipework is easier to hide when entering through the wall from the rear.
Pipe connection from the rear is commonly the chosen method for supplying to water blades built into new walls as part of the fixed structure, as the flexible pipe can be hidden from view, entering the water blade through the back of the wall, leaving the water blade cascade lip as the only visible component.
Rear entry pipe connection can also be achieved when mounting a water blade to an existing wall or surface by channelling the pipe through the wall and securing the water blade to the front face using a mounting bracket.
