Introduction

Thank you for choosing Atlantic’s Stainless Steel and/or Copper Finished Spillway Scuppers.

All Atlantic Scuppers are constructed of 304 stainless steel. Copper nished scuppers have an
additional antique copper plating over the stainless steel for a warm traditional look.

Installation Requirements

• Atlantic Spillway Scuppers are constructed of 304 stainless steel are intended for fresh water
use only. Use with Chlorinated pool water or other acidic additives may cause the stainless

steel to discolor.

• Spillway Scuppers are designed for use in Pond-free and fountain applications. Scuppers are
not intended for use in water gardens or any pond with plant or aquatic life.

• Atlantic Spillway Scupper can support 80lbs. per linear foot of evenly distributed weight over
the top of the Scupper. (Ex. A 24” Scupper can support 160 lbs.) If the weight of the wall stone
and caps above the scupper exceeds the recommended weights limits a lintel must be installed
above the scupper to carry the excess load.

• Atlantic Scuppers are designed to easily install in dry stack garden walls utilizing a standard
4”H x 8”W x 12”L wall block. Although any sized wall block can be used, a 4 x 8 x 12 is ideal as
it requires very little alteration when installing the scupper.

Installation

The opening in the wall where the Scupper will be placed is important to the function of the
scupper. The bottom of the scupper must sit on a at surface and be fully supported for its entire
length. The scupper must be level side to side and front to back to for proper water ow.
Installation in a garden wall using 4”H x 8”W x 12”L garden stones is easy because the scupper is
also 4” tall. Simply remove the necessary number of wall stones (one, two or three) from the top
course of the garden wall and replace them with the Scupper. The scupper should be positioned
so that the front of the body is even with the front of the wall. Cut 4” x 4” x 12” ller blocks to
complete the wall course and ll the area behind the scupper, leaving a 2 1/2” wide opening in
the center to connect the supply line. The scupper is load bearing (80 lbs. per linear foot max) so
caps can be placed on top of the Scupper to complete the installation.

Caution: Be sure to leave access to the scupper in case future maintenance is required. Do not
glue or permanently mortar the cap stones that are placed directly over the scupper.

Plumbing the Scupper

Spillway Scuppers have a 1 ½” female threaded inlet located at the center-back of the unit.
Connect the plumbing using a 1 ½” male threaded tting (not included) of your choice.
Apply thread sealant or silicone to the threads of the male tting. Thread the tting into the
inlet by hand until tight and nish off with a half turn from a wrench. Connect the plumbing line
from the pump to the Scupper. Minimum 1 ½” I.D tubing is required for optimum water ow.

When plumbing multiple Scuppers off of one pump, run a main feed line along the back of the
wall, teeing up to the individual Scuppers. If installing multiple units, it is best to install a ball
valve in each line feeding the Scuppers to provide more control over the ow. When running
more than one Scupper, the main feed line should be increased to at least 2”.

If you are installing the Scupper in conjunction with an Atlantic CFBasin Kit, please refer to the
installation/ plumbing instructions included with the Basin kit for additional information.

Maintenance

Atlantic Spillway Scupper is a one piece, closed unit with internal bafing to diffuse the water ow.
If large debris entering the Scupper becomes lodged, it will be difcult to remove. For this reason,
take great care to ensure that large debris in the water is ltered out before reaching the scupper.

Atlantic Spillway Scuppers will not corrode when used in fresh water, however periodic cleaning
may be required depending on water conditions. Scuppers with a brushed nish can be cleaned
using 3M stainless steel cleaner (available at any home center) and a soft cloth. Copper nished
Scuppers can be cleaned with any non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth.

Winterization

Atlantic Spillway Scuppers are self-draining for easy winterization. When the pump is turned
off the water inside the scupper will drain back through the supply line. Ensure that the supply
line is fully drained. Remove the pump and store it indoors for the winter. If the Scupper is
installed with an Atlantic Colorfalls Basin, please refer to the Basin Kit instructions for proper
basin winterization.
