Zodiac 25207-804-000 Equalizer Suction Vgb 1.5in Mip

Product Description

The ZODIAC 25207-804-000 is a VGB-compliant equalizer suction fitting designed for in-ground swimming pool plumbing systems. This 1.5-inch male iron pipe (MIP) fitting serves as a suction-side drain or equalizer port, helping to balance water flow between the main drain and skimmer. It is finished in black and manufactured to meet VGB (Virginia Graeme Baker Act) safety standards for entrapment prevention. Pool service technicians and plumbing contractors install this fitting during new pool construction or as a code-compliant replacement in existing systems.

This fitting is suited for residential in-ground pool installations where a 1.5-inch MIP suction connection is required at the equalizer or main drain line. Its VGB-compliant design makes it appropriate for pools that must meet current federal drain safety requirements. The black finish allows it to blend with dark-colored pool finishes or drain covers. It threads directly into standard 1.5-inch female-threaded fittings or plumbing manifolds commonly found in pool equipment pads and floor drain sumps.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement equalizer suction fitting for in-ground pool plumbing systems requiring a 1.5-inch MIP VGB-compliant suction connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pool contractor or plumber familiar with VGB drain safety requirements. Shut off all pool circulation equipment and verify the system is depressurized before removing or installing any suction-side fittings. Use appropriate thread sealant on the MIP threads and do not overtighten, as cracking the fitting body can compromise suction-side integrity. Verify the completed installation complies with local codes and current VGB entrapment prevention requirements before returning the system to service.
