Plumbing the Scupper
Spillway Scuppers have a 1 ½" female threaded inlet located at the center-back of the unit.
Connect the plumbing using a 1 ½" male threaded fitting (not included) of your choice.
Apply thread sealant or silicone to the threads of the male fitting. Thread the fitting into the
inlet by hand until tight and finish off with a half turn from a wrench. Connect the plumbing line
from the pump to the Scupper. Minimum 1 ½" I.D tubing is required for optimum water flow.
When plumbing multiple Scuppers off of one pump, run a main feed line along the back of the
wall, teeing up to the individual Scuppers. If installing multiple units, it is best to install a ball
valve in each line feeding the Scuppers to provide more control over the flow. When running
more than one Scupper, the main feed line should be increased to at least 2".
If you are installing the Scupper in conjunction with an Atlantic CFBasin Kit, please refer to the
installation/ plumbing instructions included with the Basin kit for additional information.
Maintenance
Atlantic Spillway Scupper is a one piece, closed unit with internal baffling to diffuse the water flow.
If large debris entering the Scupper becomes lodged, it will be difficult to remove. For this reason,
take great care to ensure that large debris in the water is filtered out before reaching the scupper.
Atlantic Spillway Scuppers will not corrode when used in fresh water, however periodic cleaning
may be required depending on water conditions. Scuppers with a brushed finish can be cleaned
using 3M stainless steel cleaner (available at any home center) and a soft cloth. Copper finished
Scuppers can be cleaned with any non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth.
Winterization
Atlantic Spillway Scuppers are self-draining for easy winterization. When the pump is turned
off the water inside the scupper will drain back through the supply line. Ensure that the supply
line is fully drained. Remove the pump and store it indoors for the winter. If the Scupper is
installed with an Atlantic Colorfalls Basin, please refer to the Basin Kit instructions for proper
basin winterization.

commencing from the date of the original purchase receipt. The warranty is void if this product
