Description
Product Overview
The Blue Wave NE1228PR aluminum deck flanges are engineered to give pool owners a reliable, secure mounting point for above‑ground pool ladders. Constructed from solid cast aluminum, each flange offers a non‑conductive surface that protects swimmers from accidental electrical contact while the rust‑resistant finish ensures long‑term durability even in harsh outdoor environments. With a compact 3.5‑inch outer diameter and a 1.625‑inch inner opening, the flanges are designed to accommodate the majority of standard ladder foot designs, delivering a snug, stable fit that minimizes ladder sway and movement during use.
Each pair is rated to support up to 225 pounds, making them suitable for a wide range of users, from children to adults. The lightweight nature of aluminum—approximately 0.4 pounds per flange—means the components are easy to handle during installation yet robust enough to withstand daily exposure to pool chemicals, UV radiation, and fluctuating temperatures. The product dimensions of 3.5″ wide by 2.5″ high provide a low‑profile appearance that blends seamlessly with the pool deck, while the white finish adds a clean, unobtrusive aesthetic.

Usage
These deck flanges are intended for use with above‑ground pool ladders, making them an essential accessory for families, vacation homeowners, and pool maintenance professionals. Whether you are setting up a new seasonal pool or upgrading an existing ladder system, the flanges provide a quick, tool‑free solution that enhances safety and stability. The non‑conductive property is especially valuable for pools located near electrical outlets or in areas where metal components could pose a shock risk.
Installation can be performed on a variety of deck surfaces, including concrete, wood, and composite materials. The pre‑drilled holes align with standard mounting brackets, allowing users to secure the flanges with common hardware such as stainless‑steel bolts or screws. Because no specialized tools are required, the setup can be completed in under ten minutes, making it an ideal choice for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers alike.
Beyond residential pools, the flanges are also suitable for community centers, hotels, and recreational facilities that maintain multiple above‑ground pools. Their ability to accommodate a range of ladder designs means they can be used across different pool models, reducing the need for multiple specialized parts and simplifying inventory management for pool service companies.
