Spa VGB Suctions

The 256 GPM, 179 GPM and the 124 GPM suction fitting that meets the Virginia Graeme Baker
Pool and Spa Safety Act of 2008. The patented 256 GPM flow rated suction fitting has received
UL approval, while the 124 GPM suction is IAPMO listed with a flow rating of 124 GPM.
The extraordinary rating on both suctions is higher than any other equivalent sized suction
on the market prior to the VGB legislation.

The large 256 GPM and 179 GPM suction is about 5 inches (12.7cm) in diameter and the
124 GPM is about 3-3/4 inches (9.53cm) in diameter. The smaller size fits the smaller recesses
by reducing the need to modify any molds in order to make the larger suction fit. The smaller
hole has a size of 2-3/8 inches (6.03cm) with a flat gasket.

The 256 GPM and 179 GPM suction product was designed by our engineering staff with an
intermediary piece that connects to 3/4” (1.9cm) ID tubing, while the smaller 124 GPM suction
product connects to 3/8” (.95cm) ID tubing. Both suction products rise up under the lip of
the spa. When the suction cover is obstructed, air is pulled through the 3/4” (1.9cm) ID
tubing (256 GPM) or 3/8” (.95cm) ID tubing (124 GPM), cavitating the pump so it loses
prime and water flow is minimized.
