Duratech - Face plate RO Adagio 170mm stainless steel

DURATECH Face plate RO Adagio 170mm stainless steel

The Duratech Face Plate RO Adagio 170mm in stainless steel is a high-quality finishing component designed for underwater swimming pool lighting installations. Acting as the visible front cover of the light niche, this face plate provides a clean, professional finish around the light fitting while also serving a functional role in securing and protecting the luminaire assembly within the pool wall. It is specifically designed for use with Duratech Adagio Pro swimming pool lamps in the 170mm size format, ensuring a precise and secure fit.

Manufactured from marine-grade stainless steel 316, this face plate is engineered to withstand the demanding chemical environment of a swimming pool. Stainless steel 316 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless steel grades, making it particularly well suited to continuous contact with chlorinated or salt water. The material is robust, maintains its appearance over years of use, and does not degrade from UV exposure or chemical contact in the way that standard polymers might. The thickness of the face plate falls within the range of 9 to 16mm, providing a low-profile but sturdy finish at the pool wall surface.

Technical characteristics and compatibility

The RO designation indicates this is a round face plate format, sized specifically for the 170mm light fitting diameter. This size is the largest in the Duratech face plate range, which also includes 50mm and 100mm variants, and is intended for installations where a larger luminaire output is required. The face plate is compatible with Duratech Adagio Pro and Duravision Spectra lamp series, meaning it integrates directly with these light bodies without requiring adaptation. Compatibility with multiple lamp series within the Duratech ecosystem ensures that this face plate can be used in new installations as well as replacement or upgrade scenarios where a larger or matching face plate is needed.

The stainless steel construction is especially relevant for thin-walled swimming pool applications, where material rigidity and resistance to deformation are important. The face plate is designed to be installed in concrete pools finished with tiles or mosaic, providing a flush and aesthetically consistent result against tiled pool surfaces. It is not intended for liner pools or PP/PE monoblock pools, which have their own dedicated face plate variants within the Duratech range.

Suitability and installation context

This face plate is intended for concrete swimming pools with a tiled or mosaic interior finish. It is suited to both residential and commercial pool installations where a robust, corrosion-proof finish around the light niche is required. The stainless steel 316 grade makes it an appropriate choice for pools using aggressive water treatment methods, including salt chlorination systems, where lesser materials would be prone to pitting or staining over time. The 170mm format is intended for installations using the larger Duratech light bodies, making it suitable for pools where strong, wide-beam underwater illumination is specified. For installations requiring compatibility with Adagio Pro or Duravision Spectra lamps in the 170mm format, this face plate provides the correct dimensional match and material quality expected in a professional pool construction context.
