Product Overview
The Pentair A&A AVSC Single Pebble Top Channel Drain White | 288101 is a heavy-debris removal drain designed for Pentair A&A in-floor pool cleaning and circulation systems. Its unblockable channel-style design helps support safe suction performance while allowing efficient debris removal and water circulation.
The white pebble-top cover is designed to sit flush with the pool floor and blend more naturally with plaster, pebble, or aggregate pool finishes. This makes it a strong choice for new pool construction, remodels, and replacement installations where both performance and appearance matter.
Ideal For
- Pentair A&A in-floor pool cleaning systems
- New pool construction or remodel projects
- Replacing older A&A AVSC single suction drains
- Pools needing high-flow debris removal
- Applications where a flush, finish-blending drain cover is preferred
Key Features
- Unblockable channel drain design for enhanced suction safety
- Single suction configuration for Pentair A&A in-floor systems
- Pebble top cover helps blend with pool interior finishes
- White finish for clean, low-profile appearance
- Large channel opening supports heavy debris removal
- Flush floor fit helps reduce visual impact in the pool
- Accepts 2.5" and 3" plumbing depending on installation requirements
- Includes drain components needed for standard AVSC installation
Benefits
The AVSC drain combines circulation and cleaning performance in one low-profile drain assembly. Its wide channel design helps remove larger debris more effectively than many traditional round drains, while the pebble-top lid provides a cleaner finished look once installed.
For builders and service professionals, the AVSC design also supports easier installation with a construction cover and pressure testing components. The drain is designed for residential pool, spa, and water feature applications.
