SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
• If not a single, unblockable outlet, in the event of one suction
outlet being completely blocked, the remaining suction outlets
serving the system shall have a flow rating capable of the full
flow of the pump(s) or the specific suction system. If in doubt
about the rating and/or head loss curve of your system, consult
a qualified pool or spa professional and/or your respective
equipment manufacturer(s). Also, double check with your local
building/health authorities regarding single vs. multiple drain
installations, etc.
• All sizes of connecting pipe are acceptable, pending velocity
and GPM calculations. The larger, the better! DO NOT exceed
maximum flow rate(s) of cover or pipe(s) flow rate(s), whichever
is less.
• Replace cover and screws within 5 years.
• SPECIAL NOTES:
• Pool finish should never exceed top of frame.
• Taper pool finish down and away from top (or lower) of frame.
• Top of grate should never be installed lower than the pool
finish.
• Take special notice when retrofitting into an existing frame
where possible existing multiple layers of re-plastering have
created a concave situation, either chip or grind down old
surface or install new frame at higher level. Use of bushing kit
may also be required to achieve proper elevation.
