screw-fastened covers in place. All suction outlet (drain) covers must be
maintained. Drain covers must be listed/certified to the latest published
edition of ANSI/ASME A112.19.8 (ANSI/APSP-16, 2011). They must be
replaced if cracked, broken, or missing.

Provide at least two (2)
hydraulically-balanced main drains, with covers, as suction for each
circulating pump suction line. The centers of the main drains (suction
