Recreational Water Facilities-Antientrapment Covers
|
|
Violation:
The manufacturer-provided letter from Culligan indicated that the main drain covers for the two main pools conformed with ASME A112.19.8-2007. However, there was not enough information in the letter to determine if the drain covers were custom constructed/field fabricated or if the covers were manufactured drain covers tested by an internationally recognized testing laboratory and stamped according to the standard. These pools had gravity drainage and multiple drains more than 3 feet apart.
|
|
Recommendation:
For RWFs with gravity drainage and multiple drains (2 or more drains greater than 3 feet apart), provide either a standard design (not compliant with ASME A112.19.8) drain cover and an alarm, or an ASME A112.19.8 compliant antientrapment/antientanglement drain cover. Ensure the alarm is audible and sounds in both a continuously manned space and at the RWF. Ensure this alarm is for all draining: accidental, routine, and emergency. Ensure the testing of manufactured drain covers is by a nationally or internationally recognized testing laboratory. Ensure the following information is stamped on each manufactured antientrapment drain cover: (1) certification standard and year; (2) type of drain use (single or multiple); (3) maximum flow rate (in gallons or liters per minute); (4) type of fitting (suction outlet); (5) life expectancy of cover; (6) mounting orientation (wall, floor, or both); (7) manufacturer?s name or trademark; and (8) model designation. Ensure the design of custom/shipyard constructed (field fabricated) drain covers and suction fittings is fully specified by a registered design professional in accordance with ASME A112.19.8-2007. Ensure the specifications fully address cover/grate loadings, durability, hair, finger and limb entrapment issues, cover/grate secondary layer of protection, related sump design, and features specific to the RWF. Provide a letter from the shipyard for each custom/shipyard constructed (field fabricated) drain cover fitting. At a minimum, ensure the letter specifies the shipyard, name of the vessel, specifications and dimensions of the drain cover, as well as the exact location of the RWF for which it was designed. Ensure the name of and contact information for the registered design professional and signature are on the letter.
