How do I know if I need to replace Main Drain Covers?
The VGB Pool Safety Act required all covers to meet the latest ASME/ANSI A112.19.8‐2007 standard by December 19, 2008. This is a new standard and all non‐compliant grates and covers must be changed. VGB compliant covers are properly marked. Contact Bel‐Aqua with questions concerning your current covers.
Health Department Submittals
Many local health departments are requiring facilities to submit documentation of proposed changes for approval prior to any moifications. In many cases, this includes replacing covers.
Velocity Calculations for Cover Open Area
Many health departments are requiring the submittal of Velocity calculations for cover open area. They wish to assure that the velocity through a single cover does not exceed a specific velocity (for example 1½ feet per second) at 100% of all combined flows. We have posted on our website most manufacturers specification sheets with the information you may need to file.
Bel-Aqua is your source for VGB compliant covers. If you have any questions please contact us at anytime.
