A. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & PRECAUTIONS
When using two or more suction ttings on a common suction line, suctions must be separated by a minimum of 3
ft or they must be located on two dierent planes.
WARNING: DO NOT locate suction outlets on seating areas or on backrests for such seating areas.
Attention Installer: This manual contains important information about the installation, operation and safe use of this
product. Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions which are included. This
information should be given to the owner and/or operator of this equipment.
To reduce the risk of drowning from hair and body entrapment, install suction ttings with a marked ow rate in
gallons per minute that exceeds the ow rate of your system by at least 25%. Always use multiple suction outlets. If
the tting/cover breaks, is damaged, or is missing, shut the system down immediately. Do not use the system until
damaged parts have been replaced.
Keep hair and clothing a minimum of 12 inches from all suction ttings and drains at all times. Persons with long
hair should secure hair to a minimal length or wear swimming cap. Children should never be left unattended at any
time in a swimming pool, spa, or bathtub. Be sure the temperature of the water never exceeds the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
To reduce the risk of injury, installation and service should be done by a qualied Service Professional, certied
electrician or authorized CMP representative.
NOTE: In the event that one suction outlet is completely blocked, the remaining suction outlet(s) serving that system
MUST have a ow rating capable of the full ow of the pump(s) for the specic suction system.
Increasing size of the pump may increase ow rate of suction beyond rated safety limits causing entrapment or
death.
All Suction Outlet Fitting Assemblies (SOFAs) shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation
instructions, or for Registered Design Professional SOFAs, in accordance with the registered design professional’s
engineering plans. Field modication made to a SOFA not authorized by the manufacturer’s installation instructions
shall void the SOFA certication.
Hair or body parts blocking the spa or pool suctions may become trapped and held against the suction tting.
Entrapment against the suction ttings can result in drowning or other severe injury. Never sit on or lean up against
suction ttings. Never exceed the maximum allowable ow rate stated on the suction tting. The suction tting and
fasteners should be inspected for damage or tampering before use. Missing, broken, or cracked suction ttings shall
be replaced. Loose suction ttings shall be reattached or replaced before use of this facility.
The maximum hose length dierence between any self-contained SOFA and the tee leading to the pump shall not
exceed 13 feet (3.96 m).
CMP drain covers are only certied for use with CMP sumps and frames. Do not mismatch with parts from other
manufacturers.
When installing and using this equipment, basic safety precautions shall always be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

B. SIZING & SPECIFICATION REFERENCE
• Suction tting conguration specic ow ratings MUST NOT be exceeded at any time the pool is open to bathers.
• A system must install a suction tting, or combination of multiple suctions, such that the resulting individual suction
system ow rating is greater than the pumping system’s maximum system ow rate.
• To reduce the risk of drowning from hair and body entrapment, install suction ttings with a marked ow rate in gallons
per minute that exceeds the ow rate of your system by at least 25%. Increasing size of the pump may increase ow rate
of suction beyond rated safety limits causing entrapment or death.
• Any modication that increases the ow rate of the circulation system shall require reevaluation of the cover/grate and
sump to ensure that the ow rating of the Suction Outlet Fitting Assembly is not exceeded.
• The ow rating for pools with multiple, blockable SOFAs piped together in one body of water without isolation valves shall
be determined by combining the ow rating of all SOFAs, minus the ow rating of one. If the ow ratings of all SOFAs are
not equal, subtract the ow rating of the SOFA with the highest ow rating.
• NOTICE: No modication shall be made to a SOFA structure or ow path unless the new conguration has been certied
as new SOFA.

1. REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
Your Galaxy Drain includes the following:
• Drain Sump Body
• Drain Suction Cover
• Cover Screws
• 2" NPT Plugs (2)
• Protective Plaster Installation Cover (gunite models only)
• Vinyl Ring & Gaskets (vinyl models only)
• 2" to 1.5" FPT Bushings (if threaded model)
2. INSTALLATION LOCATION
a. This suction tting is designed for installation on the oor or wall of hot tubs or pools. 25515 models are intended for
vinyl pools. 25514, 25516, 25519 models should be installed in gunite pools.
b. Do not mount directly under seats.
c. Always use multiple suction outlets. DO NOT use with single drain applications. Use with single drain applications will
void any and all warranties. Single drain installation increases the risk of entrapment against the suction ttings , which
can result in drowning or other severe injury. Blockable SOFAs shall be installed in a multiple SOFA system only.
d. When using two or more suction ttings on a common suction line, suctions must be separated by a minimum of 3 ft or
they must be located on two dierent planes.
SAFETY CHECKLIST:
e. Suction tting and fasteners should be observed for damage or tampering before each use.
f. DO NOT adapt suction tting to any pipe size smaller than ASTM 1.5” SCH 40 PVC.
g. Missing, broken, or cracked suction ttings shall be replaced before use. Loose suction ttings shall be reattached or
replaced before use.
3. INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
PLUMBING:
a. Install sump in oor or wall. If the sump is installed in the pool/spa oor, install in the center of the pool/spa OR the
deepest point.
b. Cover/grates, when installed, shall not protrude more than 2 in. (51 mm) from the nished surface of the pool in which the
SOFA is installed.
c. Drain ports are for 2 inch plumbing and can be adapted to 1.5 inch.
d. Plumb with either the bottom port OR side port. Plug the unused port with the included plug.
e. Maximum ow rates will vary depending on plumbing option chosen. See Table 1 for details.
GUNITE INSTALLATION:
f. IMPORTANT! Leave the protective cover in place until plaster installation is complete. Use included cover screws to attach
protective cover during installation.
g. Finish pool with gunite/shotcrete and plaster so that it is completely level with the sump body and cover. Ensure the nish
is completely level. Pool nish should not exceed the top of the sump.
h. Remove the protective cover.
i. When any SOFA component is held in place by the interior nish of the pool, that surface shall be free of deterioration
and voids.
j. Attach cover/grate with the supplied screws. Verify that the suction cover is properly tightened with the #8 316 stainless
steel screws in brass inserts to 14in-lbs. DO NOT over-torque the cover screw. Excessive torque can cause premature
failure of threads or damage to suction tting increasing risk of entrapment. Start install of screws by hand to ensure
proper thread engagement and to prevent cross threading. DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO INSTALL FASTENERS.

C. INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
VINYL INSTALLATION:
a. Finish pool surface so that it is completely level with the sump body and cover. Pool nish should not exceed the top of
the sump.
b. Place gasket on sump body, making sure holes in gasket align with holes in sump ange (a very light application of
silicone will help hold the gasket in place).
c. Install liner before proceeding to next step. Follow pool manufacturer’s instructions for proper vinyl liner installations.
d. Align second gasket and vinyl ring outside the vinyl liner. Pierce vinyl liner through vinyl ring holes one at a time before
inserting screws. Screws must go through ring, gasket, liner, second gasket and into sump. Verify that the vinyl ring is
properly tightened with the stainless steel screws in brass inserts to 24in-lbs.
e. Cut out liner along inside edge of vinyl ring.
f. When any SOFA component is held in place by the interior nish of the pool, that surface shall be free of deterioration
and voids.
g. Attach cover/grate with the supplied screws. Verify that the suction cover is properly tightened with the #8 316 stainless
steel screw in brass inserts to 14in-lbs. DO NOT over-torque the cover screw. Excessive torque can cause premature failure
of threads or damage to suction tting increasing risk of entrapment. Start install of screws by hand to ensure proper
thread engagement and to prevent cross threading. DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO INSTALL FASTENERS.
SOFA components and fastener receptacles shall be clean and free of debris or obstructions during installation of cover/grate
and fasteners. The use of adhesives or other attachment methods that prevent access to suction piping or SOFA components
requiring periodic servicing is prohibited. Hand-check cover/grate for snugness to the sump/ frame after installation.

2. MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
a. Covers/grates and all other SOFA components shall be replaced before the end of their service life. Service life begins
the month and year in which a SOFA component is installed with or without water. The cover/grate and screws should be
replaced at least every seven (7) years. Sump and frame service life is 30 years.
b. Inspect pool or spa regularly to ensure that the drain cover/grate is in place and secure.
c. Missing, broken, or cracked SOFA components shall be replaced before bathers are allowed to use the pool or spa. Loose
covers/grates shall be reattached before bathers are allowed to use the pool or spa.
d. If the cover is found with color changed, broken, cracked, missing, brittle components with chunks or pieces broken o, it
must be replaced. Do not use the pool/spa/facility until a replacement is made.
e. If there are stripped screw holes or if the brass insert receptacles are missing/removed, the SOFA must be replaced. Do
not use the pool/spa/facility until a repair or replacement is made.
f. If a drain cover/grate does not pass inspection:
• Close the pool or spa immediately
• Post a closure notice
• Keep the facility closed until a new drain cover and screws are properly installed.
3. WINTERIZING
• Requirements for winter will vary depending on region - follow normal winter and freeze protection practices for your
area.
• For areas that require partial drainage and/or clearing lines to prevent freeze damage:
• If your suction(s) have a dedicated suction line: Use a blower to clear the suction line of water and cap or close the
line with a valve to prevent freeze damage.
• If your suction(s) are connected to a skimmer/equalizer line: Follow skimmer winterization procedures. Optionally
blow and cap the suction line or ll line with foam rope/backer rod to protect from freeze damage.
