The Paramount SDX2 Retro High Flow Safety Drain (Model: 004-192-2213-01) is a VGB/ANSI compliant, sump-less retrofit suction outlet cover for concrete swimming pools. It is designed to replace existing covers and improve pool safety by meeting modern regulations

• Safety compliance: This drain is certified as a VGB/ANSI compliant sump-less suction outlet cover, meaning it protects against all types of entrapment, including hair, limb, body, and mechanical. The safety is built into the cover and the backplate, eliminating the need to chisel out a sump.
• High-flow performance: The SDX2 is rated for high-flow rates to accommodate most residential pumps up to 3 horsepower.
  • Floor installation: Up to 188 gallons per minute (GPM).
  • Wall installation: Up to 154 GPM.
• Anti-entrapment design:
• It features a patented "ribbed" design with 60 independent flow partitions that achieves a very high flow rate.
• An anti-vortex center shield blocks direct suction to protect swimmers.
• The dome shape is also designed to prevent a swimmer from creating a seal over the drain.
• Retrofit installation: The product comes with an adaptable backplate, which makes it easy to install over existing plaster rings up to 10 inches in diameter.
• Durability and color: Constructed for long-term use in concrete pools and made of UV-resistant materials. This model is white.
• Low velocity: The low velocity of 1.396 feet per second at the opening at maximum flow (188 GPM) further increases swimmer safety.
