• 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 ow rating capable of the full
ow of the pump(s) or the specic suction system. If in doubt
about the rating and/or head loss curve of your system, consult
a qualied 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 ow rate(s) of cover or pipe(s) ow rate(s), whichever
is less.
