Hayward 404200935000 Rdx 300 Lower Sump Pool Drain

Product Description

The HAYWARD 404200935000 is the lower sump assembly for the RDX 300 drain system, designed for in-ground pool and spa installations requiring VGB-compliant drain safety. This component serves as the below-deck body of the drain assembly, housing the internal drain structure and securing the system within the pool floor or wall. Licensed pool service technicians and commercial aquatic contractors install this part during new construction or drain retrofit projects where anti-entrapment compliance is required. The open-line configuration allows for standard plumbing connections to the circulation system.

This lower sump is suited for in-ground residential and commercial pool applications where VGB drain safety standards must be met. It is the foundation component of the RDX 300 drain system, which is engineered to be unblockable by design, eliminating the risk of suction entrapment at the drain point. Pool builders and service contractors use this assembly during drain replacement or system upgrades on pools that require anti-entrapment upgrades to meet current code.

Key Features

• VGB-compliant design meets federal anti-entrapment drain safety standards

• Open-line configuration for direct plumbing to the pool circulation system

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pool contractor or qualified service technician familiar with VGB drain safety requirements. Shut down all circulation pumps and depressurize the plumbing system completely before beginning work. Refer to local and national pool safety codes, including applicable VGB Act requirements, for proper drain placement, sump depth, and cover installation procedures.
