Product Description
The AFRAS INDUSTRIES 10064bk is an anti-vortex main drain frame and grate designed for residential and commercial pool drainage systems. Measuring 7-3/4 inches in diameter, this drain cover features an anti-vortex design that disrupts dangerous vortex formations at the drain opening, a key safety requirement in modern pool construction and service. The black finish provides a clean appearance and resistance to the chemical and UV exposure common in pool environments. This component is intended for installation by licensed pool service professionals or qualified pool builders working on main drain assemblies.
This drain frame and grate is suited for installation in concrete, vinyl, and fiberglass pool main drain sumps where an anti-vortex cover is required. The anti-vortex design helps meet entrapment prevention standards applicable to residential and commercial pools. The black color option makes it a practical choice for pools where dark-finish fittings are specified. It is appropriate for new construction as well as replacement service on existing main drain assemblies that require an updated or compliant drain cover.

Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed pool contractor or qualified pool service technician. The pool circulation system must be fully shut down and the pump disabled before removing or installing any main drain cover. Fasteners should be tightened per the manufacturer instructions supplied with the cover. Compliance with ANSI/APSP and applicable local codes governing drain cover entrapment prevention should be verified prior to returning the pool to service.
