the latest version of ANSI/ASME
A112.19.8 or its successor standard,
ANSI/APSP-16, the standard for
Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming
Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot
Tubs.

efficiency use fewest possible fittings
(but at least two (2) suction outlets).
Avoid fittings which could cause an
air trap.
Pool cleaner suction fittings must
conform to applicable International
Association of Plumbing and

UL 1563
CSA C22.2#218.1
Water Velocity: The maximum water
velocity through the suction fitting
or cover for any suction outlet must
be 1.5 feet per second unless the
outlet complies with the latest version
of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 or its
successor standard, ANSI/APSP-16,
the standard for Suction Fittings For
Use in Swimming Pools, Wading
Pools, Spas, and Hot Tubs. In any
case, do not exceed the suction fitting’s
maximum designed flow rate.
If 100% of the pump’s flow comes from
the main drain system, the maximum
water velocity in the pump suction
hydraulic system must be six (6) feet
per second or less, even if one (1) main
drain (suction outlet) is completely
blocked. The flow through the
remaining main drain(s) must comply
with the latest version of ANSI/ASME
A112.19.8 or its successor standard,
ANSI/APSP-16, the standard for
Suction Fittings For Use in Swimming
Pools, Wading Pools, Spas, and Hot
Tubs.
