Xport Drain System Design
Before installing the Xport Drain System please read the following important information
SECOND SUCTION OUTLET: The Xport Drain System requires the proper installation of all anti-
entrapment features including a second suction outlet with a listed suction outlet fitting and one of the
following three vacuum breaker installation methods:
• Vacuum Breaker for Steel and Concrete - Refer to one of the four installation methods
illustrated on pages 9, 10, and 11.
• Vacuum Breaker for Fiberglass - Refer to one of the three installation methods illustrated on
page 19.
• Vacuum Breaker for Vinyl - Refer to one of the three installation methods illustrated on
page 27.
These Xport instructions provide four design methods to choose from. Your local codes may require
additional safety measures. Pentair Water Pool and Spa and its representatives cannot recommend or
endorse installation methods other than those provided in these Xport instructions.
SUCTION PLUMBING - Install a 2½" pipe between the Xport suction outlet and the debris collection
point, which could be the optional debris canister, a self-priming pump or in-line strainer basket.
1
WARNING - Maximum Pump Size: Xport is rated for a maximum of 90 GPM. While system
flow rate will vary with pump size and the Total Head Loss for a given system, virtually any modern
pump is capable of exceeding this limit. Therefore it is the responsibility of the system designer to
make sure it is not possible to exceed 90 GPM.
IMPORTANT NOTE: 18" of 2½" pipe is required for connection to the center outlet of the Xport
Drain System. The Pentair Water Pool and Spa Xport Drain System kit includes an 18" x 2½" length
of pipe and a coupler. It is recommended the 2½" pipe be used throughout the suction side of the
system for optimum performance.
