Before a pool holds a drop of water, before the plaster or tile goes on, a crew sets a few fittings into the floor of the excavation and pours concrete around them. The main drain sump is one of the first of those parts and one of the last anyone thinks about. Once the pool is finished it disappears under a grate, and it is expected to do its job for the life of the shell.
The SEG item HVAC365 carries is a main drain sump made of fiberglass, with Schedule 40 coupling fittings: a 3-inch side outlet and a 2-inch bottom outlet. The sump is the body that the drain cover sits on, and the pipes leaving it carry water back to the pump for filtering. A built-in water stop is a collar around the sump that is cast into the concrete, giving water a much longer and harder path to creep along the outside of the fitting. That matters because a sump sits at the lowest point of the pool, under the full weight of the water above it.
Main drains are also safety equipment. Any suction outlet must be paired with a properly rated cover and installed to current suction entrapment codes, often with more than one outlet so that no single drain can be blocked by a swimmer. Those details are worked out by the pool designer and installer for each project.
Related parts such as drain covers, skimmers and inlets are listed under drains, inlets and skimmers.
It is the body set into the floor of a pool, below the drain cover, that collects water and connects to the pipes returning water to the pump and filter.
A water stop is a collar cast into the concrete around the fitting. It makes it much harder for water to travel along the outside of the sump and through the pool shell.
The SEG fiberglass sump has Schedule 40 coupling fittings with a 3-inch side outlet and a 2-inch bottom outlet.
Yes. Every suction outlet must use a properly rated drain cover and be installed to current suction entrapment safety codes, which the pool designer and installer specify for each project.
