Evisceration/ Disembowelment - 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.
Mechanical Entrapment - There is potential for jewelry, swimsuits, hair decorations, fingers, toes, or knuckles to
be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical entrapment.
WARNING –To Reduce the risk of Entrapment Hazards:
When outlets are small enough to be blocked by a person, a minimum of two functioning suction outlets
per drive must be installed. Suction outlets in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a
minimum of three feet (3’) [0.91 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the values shown in the “Pipe Sizing Chart” found below.
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 drive installed in accordance with latest IAF (formerly NSPI)
standards and CPSC guidelines, follow all national, state, and local codes applicable.
Installation of a vacuum release or vent system, which relieves entrapping suction, is recommended.
WARNING –Hazardous Pressure. Pool and spa water circulation systems operate under hazardous
pressure during start-up, normal operation, and after drive shut-off. Stand clear of circulation system equipment
during drive start-up. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in violent separation of the
drive housing and cover due to pressure in the system, which could cause property damage, severe personal
injury, or death. Before servicing pool and spa water circulation system, all system and drive controls must be in
off position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Before starting system drive, all system
valves must be set in a position to allow system water to return back to the pool. Do not change filter control
valve position while system drive is running. Before starting system drive, fully open filter manual air relief valve.
Do not close filter manual air relief valve until a steady stream of water (not air or air and water mix) is discharged
from the valve. All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system. Failure to
do so could result in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
WARNING –Separation Hazard. Failure to follow safety and operation instructions could result in
violent separation of drive components. Strainer cover must be properly secured to drive housing with strainer
cover lock ring. Before servicing pool and spa circulation system, all system and drive controls must be in off
position and filter manual air relief valve must be in open position. Do not operate pool and spa circulation system
if a system component is not assembled properly, damaged, or missing. Do not operate pool and spa circulation
system unless filter manual air relief valve body is in locked position in filter upper body. All suction and discharge
valves MUST be OPEN when starting the circulation system. Failure to do so could result in severe personal
injury and/or property damage.
WARNING –Never operate or test the circulation system at more than 50 PSI maximum.
WARNING –Failure to install according to defined instructions may result in severe personal injury or
death.

4.1. Cut the pipe square.
4.2. Chamfer and deburr the pipe.
4.3. Surfaces must be cleaned and free of dirt, moisture, oil and other foreign material.
4.4. Apply primer to the inside socket surface. Never allow the primer or cement to contact the
union connector o-ring sealing surfaces, as leaking may result. Use a scrubbing motion.
Repeated applications may be necessary to soften the surface of the socket.
4.5. Liberally apply primer to the male end of the pipe to the length of the socket depth.
4.6. Again apply to the socket.
4.7. Without delay, apply cement to the pipe while the surface is still wet with primer.
4.8. Next apply cement lightly, but uniformly to the inside of the socket.
4.9. Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe, and assemble the end connector to the pipe,
rotating the connection 1/4 turn in one direction as it is slipped to full depth on to the pipe.
4.10. The connector should be held in position for approx. 30 seconds to allow the connection to
“set”.
4.11. After assembly wipe off excess cement.

Extreme care should be exercised on all joints made where pipe, fittings or cement is below 10ºF (-
A: It is important to note that at temperatures colder than 20ºF on sizes that exceed 3 in., test results
indicate that many variables exist in the actual cure rate of the joint. The data expressed in these
categories represent only estimated averages. In some cases, cure will be achieved in less time, but
isolated test results indicate that even longer periods of cure may be required.
B: These cure schedules are based on laboratory test data obtained on Net Fit Joints (NET FIT=in a
dry fit the pipe bottoms snugly in the fitting socket without meeting interference).

5. Standard Threaded Connection Practices
Threaded end connections should be manufactured to ASTM specifications D2464-99. F437-99 and
ANSI B2.1.
5.1. Wrap threads of pipe with Teflon tape of 3 to 3-1/2 mil thickness. The tape should be
wrapped in a clockwise direction starting at the first or second full thread. Overlap each
wrap by, 1/2 the width of the tape. The wrap should be applied with sufficient tension to
allow the threads of a single wrapped area to show through without cutting the tape. The
wrap should continue for the full effective length of the thread. Pipe sizes 2” and greater will
not benefit with more than a second wrap, due to the greater thread depth.
5.2. To provide a leak proof joint, the pipe should be threaded into the end connection “hand
tight”.
5.3. Using a strap wrench only (never use a stillson type wrench), tighten the joint an additional
1/2 to 1-1/2 turns past hand tight. Tightening beyond this point may induce excessive stress
that could cause failure.
