WARNING – SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD.
Suction 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 that is,
damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or unsecured can result in evisceration/
disembowelment entrapment.
Mechanical Entrapment- There is potential for jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger,
toe or knuckle to be caught in an opening of a suction outlet cover resulting in mechanical
entrapment.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ENTRAPMENT HAZARDS:
• A minimum of two functioning suction outlets per pump must be installed. Suction outlets
in the same plane (i.e. floor or wall), must be installed a minimum of three feet (3’)
[.94 meter] apart, as measured from near point to near point.
• Dual suction outlets shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual
blockage” by a user.
• Dual suction outlets shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such
seating areas.
• The pool or spa circulation system shall be designed to comply with ANSI/APSP-7 2006.
• Suction outlet covers shall conform to ANSI/ASME A112.19.8
• Never use Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component (cover/grate) is damaged, broken,
cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
• Immediately replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached suction
outlet components.
• The CPSP as well as the ICC International Residential Code Part IX, Appendix G, Section
AG106 specifies the installation of a safety vacuum release system conforming to ASME
A112.19.17, or an approved gravity drain system.
• Failure to remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa
from the suction outlets can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.
• Failure to keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper
and other material can result in an increased potential for suction entrapment.
Suction outlet covers and grates have a finite life. They should be inspected frequently
and replaced within specified life.
