ANTI-ENTRAPMENT DRAIN COVERS

Both the IRC and IBC 2003 and 2006 codes are designed to add an additional layer of protection against entrapment. Both codes also require the use of pool and spa suction outlets that have a cover that conforms to ANSI/ASME A112.19.8M. Many of the drain covers that exist on the market today that do conform to A112.19.8M are considered Anti-Vortex and not Anti-Entrapment. Please check with your local jurisdiction if an Anti-entrapment Drain Cover is required for use.

The Latest Standards for Drain Covers are ANSI/ASME A112.19.8-2007 and ANSI/ASME A112.19.8-2008. Please contact our customer service department for the latest information on Drain Covers that meet the latest referenced standards.

This is a common anti-vortex cover and does NOT meet the new regulations.
