when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover ow rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment – When a person sits on an open pool (particularly a wading pool) or spa outlet, and suction is applied
directlytotheintestines,causingsevereintestinaldamage.Thishazardispresentwhenthedraincoverismissing,loose,crackedornot
properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment – When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, a nger, a toe or a knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or
draincover.Thishazardispresentwhenthedraincoverismissing,broken,loose,crackedornotproperlysecured.
Use these ttings only with a pumping system rated for the corresponding ow or less. Failure to do so can
result in hair or body entrapment, which can cause severe injury or death. If in doubt about the rating of your
system, consult a qualied pool or spa professional.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Regularly inspect all drain covers for cracks, damage and advanced weathering. If a drain cover becomes loose, cracked, damaged,
broken or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately, post a notice and keep the pool or spa closed until an appropriate VGB 2008
certied drain cover is properly installed. Drain covers deteriorate over time due to exposure to sunlight and pool chemicals. The
drain cover must be replaced within ve years from installation (or earlier if the cover becomes damaged in any way).
An VGB 2008 approved anti-entrapment drain cover must be used for each drain. If a drain
cover becomes loose, broken or is missing, close the pool or spa immediately and shut o the pump until
an approved anti-entrapment drain cover is properly installed with the supplied stainless steel screws. Only the supplied 316 stainless-
steel screws should be used with the drain cover. Substitute screws such as masonry screws, sheet rock screws or other types of screws
should never be used. Screws put into the frame anywhere except in the original screw holes will not hold and
willallowthedraincovertocomeothemaindrain,causinganentrapmenthazard,includingpossiblelimbandbodyentrapment
or evisceration/disembowelment. If the screw holes of the frame are stripped or the brass inserts are missing, loose or damaged,
replace the frame. DO NOT DRILL NEW SCREW HOLES IN THE FRAME AS THIS WILL DAMAGE AND WEAKEN THE FRAME.

If you have any questions about installation or maintenance of this drain cover, please contact your pool professional. Never attempt to alter or repair
the cover or frame on your own.
A pool/spa pump produces high levels of suction, which can pose extreme danger if a person comes in close
proximity to an open pool or spa drain or a loose or broken drain cover or grate.
HYDROSTATIC RELIEF VALVE
Forinstallationsutilizingahydrostaticreliefvalve,usingacollectortubewillmaintainaclearpathtothehydrostaticvalve.Atleastone
hydrostatic relief valve in a set of suction outlets will allow hydrostatic uplift pressure caused by ground water to be relieved into the pool or spa.
ENTRAPMENT AVOIDANCE NOTICE
The covers used on suction outlets should be approved and listed as conforming to the currently published edition of ANSI/APSP-16
2011 Standard. These covers should be inspected regularly and replaced if cracked, broken or older than the design lifetime indicated
on them by the manufacturer. The maximum possible ow rate of the pump should be less than or equal to the maximum approved
ow rate indicated on the suction outlet cover by the manufacturer. The use of unapproved covers or allowing use of the pool or spa
when covers are missing, cracked or broken can result in body or limb entrapment, hair entanglement, evisceration or death.
WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
Thepumpsuctionsystemmustprovideprotectionagainstthehazardofsuctionentrapmentorhairentrapment/entanglement.
SUCTION OUTLET COVERS
All suction outlet covers must be maintained. They must be replaced if cracked, broken or missing. See page 5 for outlet cover
certication requirements. All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in place.
WATER VELOCITY AND FLOW RATES
The maximum water velocity through drain covers is limited by some local regulations, for example some state health departments
limit the velocity through public pool drain covers to 1½ feet per second. This velocity limit is lower than the ow rating provided by
the ANSI/APSP-16 2011 certication, therefore the local limit applies and must be followed. Never exceed the ow rating listed on
the cover even if the local code does not provide a velocity limit.

▲WARNING! SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Increasingpumpsizewillincreaseow. When in doubt, consult your pool and spa professional.
Never use a pool or spa that has a missing or broken suction outlet cover.
Using a pool or spa with a missing or broken suction outlet cover can result in hair or body entrapment which can cause
severe bodily injury or death. The vacuum in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers that are damaged, broken,
cracked,missingorunsecuredcancausesevereinjuryand/ordeathduetothefollowingentrapmenthazards:
HAIR ENTRAPMENT – Hair can become entangled in suction outlet cover.
LIMB ENTRAPMENT – A limb inserted into an opening of a suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover that is damaged,
broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached can result in a mechanical bind or swelling of the limb.
BODY SUCTION ENTRAPMENT – A negative pressure applied to a large portion of the body or limbs can result in
an entrapment.
EVISCERATION/DISEMBOWELMENT ENTRAPMENT – A negative pressure applied directly to the intestines through an
unprotected suction outlet sump or suction outlet cover which is damaged, broken, cracked, missing or unsecured
can result in evisceration/disembowelment entrapment.
MECHANICAL ENTRAPMENT – There is a potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, a nger, a toe or a knuckle
to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
▲WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS
If not an approved single, unblockable outlet, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be
installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. oor or wall) must be installed a minimum of three feet (1 meter) apart,
as measured from near point to near point. Dual suction ttings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest
for such seating areas. If any suction outlets are located closer they shall be located on two dierent planes (i.e. one on
the bottom and one on the vertical wall, or one each on two separate vertical walls). The maximum system ow rate
shall not exceed the ow rating of any listed (per ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007) suction outlet cover installed. Never use
pool or spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached. Replace
damaged, broken, cracked, missing or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately. In addition to two
or more suction outlets per pump installed in accordance with latest APSP, IAF Standards and CPSC guidelines, follow
all national, state and local codes applicable. Use only transitional (typically green) glues when attaching PVC pipe to
ABS ttings. Use gray medium set glue when attaching PVC pipe to our PVC based skimmers and double-deep sump
buckets. In both cases, do not ever use blue glue or related hot glues, clear glues or any fast-setting cement.
WARNING! –Failuretoremovepressuretestplugsand/orplugsusedinwinterizationofthepool/spafromthesuction
outlets can result in increased potential for suction entrapment as described above.
