Basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: Failure to follow instructions can cause severe injury
and/or death.

This is the safety-alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your equipment or in this manual, look for one of the following
signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury.

WARNING warns about hazards that could cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage and if
ignored presents a potential hazard.

CAUTION warns about hazards that will or can cause minor or moderate personal injury and/or property damage and if
ignored presents a potential hazard. It can also make consumers aware of actions that are unpredictable and unsafe.

The NOTICE label indicates special instructions that are important but not related to hazards.

WARNING – Suction Entrapment Hazard.

Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which 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 which 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:

o 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 suction pipe
center to suction pipe center. (See Diagram 1 below). If suction outlets are to be
located closer then three feet (3’) [.94 meter] apart, they shall be located in
different planes (i.e., one on the bottom, and one on the vertical wall, or one on
each of two separate vertical walls.) (See Diagram 2)
o Dual suction fittings shall be placed in such locations and distances to avoid “dual blockage” by a user.
o Dual suction fittings shall not be located on seating areas or on the backrest for such seating areas.
o The maximum system flow rate shall not exceed the flow rating of any listed (per ASME/ANSI
A112.19.8M-1987, ASME A112.19.8b-2009, APSP-7) suction outlet cover installed.
o Keep suction outlet components clear of debris, such as leaves, dirt, hair, paper and other material.
o Never use a Pool or Spa if any suction outlet component is damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not
securely attached.
o Prior to each use of the swimming pool and/or spa, observe and replace damaged, broken, cracked, missing,
or not securely attached suction outlet components immediately.
o Remove pressure test plugs and/or plugs used in winterization of the pool/spa from the suction outlets.
o Two or more suction outlets per pump should be installed in accordance with latest APSP Standards and
CPSC guidelines, follow all National, State, and Local codes applicable.
o Multiple layers of protection are available including installation of a vent pipe system, a gravity flow
system, or a vacuum release system.
o Suction outlet components have a finite life, the cover/grate should be inspected frequently and replaced at
least every seven years or if found to be damaged, broken, cracked, missing, or not securely attached.
o Do not exceed maximum flow rate stated on suction fitting.
o Only replace a pump with one with a similar flow curve, avoid a pump with a higher horsepower rating.
o To reduce the risk of body entrapment, installation of the field fabricated sumps must be such that the top of
the mounted WG1031BHF cover is a minimum of 1 ½” above; and the top of the mounted WG1032BHF
cover is a minimum of 1 13/16” above, the finished pool surface over an area larger than 40” on a diagonal.

CHART 1

WG1031BHF Suction Outlet Cover (Replacement sold as a WGX1031BHF) is rated for 224 GPM Wall Mounted or
264 GPM Floor Mounted for single or multiple suction outlet use. (9” x 9”)
WG1032BHF Suction Outlet Cover (Replacement sold as a WGX1032BHF) is rated for 308 GPM Wall Mounted or
515 GPM Floor Mounted for single or multiple suction outlet use. (12” x 12”)
WG1033BHF Suction Outlet Cover (Replacement sold as a WGX1033BHF) is rated for 732 GPM Wall Mounted or
812 GPM Floor Mounted for single or multiple suction outlet use (This is a package of four 9” x 9” covers and
frames) (18” x 18”)
In the event of one suction outlet being blocked, the remaining suction outlets serving that system shall have a flow rating
capable of the full flow of the pump(s) for the specific suction system.
Example: In the System shown in Diagram 1, two (2) 12” Square (WG1032HFPAK2) suction outlet covers are selected
and mounted on the floor. These covers are individually rated for 515 GPM. For a desired flow of 130 GPM, a
minimum pipe size from Chart 1 is selected at 3”. At the desired flow of 130 GPM one cover could be partially
blocked and the other suction outlet flow would be below the rated 515 GPM of the remaining suction outlet. Since
there are two outlets flowing in normal operation, and the allowable velocity in the branch piping is only 3ft/sec with
both outlets flowing, the branch piping would require 3” pipe size.
Example: In the System shown in Diagram 2, two (2) 12” Square (WG1032HFPAK2) suction outlet covers are selected
and mounted, on one the floor and the other on the wall. These covers are individually rated for 515 GPM on the
floor and 308 GPM when wall mounted. For a desired flow of 110 GPM, a minimum pipe size from Chart 1 is
selected at 3”. At the desired flow of 110 GPM one cover could be partially blocked and the other suction outlet flow
would be below the rated 308 GPM of the remaining suction outlet. Since there are two outlets flowing in normal
operation, and the allowable velocity in the branch piping is only 3ft/sec with both outlets flowing, the branch piping
would require 3” pipe size.

Warning – Suction Entrapment Hazard.

Suction in suction outlets and/or suction outlet covers which are installed in a small area and/or below the
surrounding surface can cause severe injury or death due to body entrapment hazard.
·To reduce the risk of body entrapment, installation of the field fabricated sumps must be such that the top of the
mounted cover is a minimum of 1 13/16” above the finished pool surface over an area larger than 40” on a diagonal.

When replacing a SP1032B grate with a replacement cover WGX1032BHF, in an existing SP1032A Outer Frame (One
that does not have inner frame installed), the grate is removed and discarded.

Locate the Inner Frame (Item 2) and using four (4) screw #13-9 x 5/8” (Item 4) Secure Inner Frame to Outer Frame.
Should you not be able to secure the Inner Frame to the Outer Frame using the existing holes in the Outer Frame; drill
four.149” (#25) diameter holes in the Outer Frame, using the holes in the Inner Frame to locate the holes to drill in the
Outer Frame. Using four (4) screw #13-9 x 5/8” (Item 4) Secure Inner Frame to Outer Frame utilizing the four (4) new
holes.

Locate the Cover (Item 1) and using four (4) #10-24 x 15/16” long screws (Item 3) Secure to the Inner Frame.

When replacing a WG1032B or a WG1032BHF cover, Do NOT remove the Inner Frame from the Square Frame
unless it is damaged. The four screws in the corners of the cover are retained in the cover. New screws should be
used whenever the cover is replaced.
