The RAVS-1200 12″ sq. Anti-Vortex Plate and Sump Assembly is designed for use in fountains and reflecting pools using remote pumping systems.  It provides a pre-fabricated mechanism for returning water from pool to pump, eliminating vortexing (drawing air into the pump) and promoting efficient circulation.   The RAVS-1200 is constructed of a heavy duty FRP sump with integral waterstop flange and 3″ side, and 2″ bottom, and 2″ “vacuum break” (socket) connections. The 2″ internal connection shall be provided with a 2″ threaded male plug.  The unit features a  3/16″ thick brass anti-vortex plate with brass spacers and TORX type stainless steel vandal resistant safety fasteners.  Recommended flow rate is 120 GPM at a 16″ water depth.  Please refer to the cut sheet for additional data and safety notice.

Note:  If this is the primary suction force for the recirculation system, use two (2) units minimum, to lessen risk of suction entrapment.
