Installation & Operation Manual
WARNING
Pump suction is hazardous and can trap and drown or disembowel bathers. Do not use or
operate swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs if a suction outlet cover is missing, broken, or loose.
The following guidelines provide information for pump installation that minimizes risk of injury to users of
pools, spas, and hot tubs:
Entrapment Protection - The pump suction system must provide protection against the hazards of
suction entrapment.
Suction Outlet Covers - All suction outlets must have correctly installed, screw-fastened covers in
place. All suction outlet (drain) covers must be properly maintained. They must be replaced if cracked,
broken, or missing. Draincoversmustbelisted/certiedtothelatestpublishededitionofANSI

A112.19.8 or its successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16. The pool must be shut down and bathers must be
restricted from entering the pool until any cracked, broken, or missing drain covers are replaced.
Number of Suction Outlets Per Pump - Provide at least two (2) hydraulically-balanced suction outlets,
with covers, as suction outlets for each circulating pump suction line. The centers of the suction outlets
(suction outlets) on any one (1) suction line must be at least three (3) feet apart, center to center. See
Figure 4.
The system must be built to include at least two (2) suction outlets (drains) connected to the pump
whenever the pump is running. However, if two (2) suction outlets run into a single suction line, the
singlesuctionlinemaybeequippedwithavalvethatwillshuto󰀨bothsuctionoutletsfromthepump.
Thesystemshallbeconstructedsuchthatitshallnotallowforseparateorindependentshuto󰀨or
isolation of each drain. See Figure 4.
Additional pumps can be connected to a single suction line as long as the requirements above are met.
Water Velocity - The maximum water velocity through the suction outlet assembly and its cover for any
suctionoutletmustnotexceedthesuctionoutletassemblyanditscover’smaximumdesignowrate.
The suction outlet (drain) assembly and its cover must comply with the latest version of ANSI
