AquaStar 20-Inch Full Circle Cover and One-Port PVC Sump, Light Gray | FC103

One Full Circle PVC sump body, one 20-inch nominal Full Circle suction outlet cover, one center logo cap, outer and inner disposable plaster shields, ten 10-32 × ¾-inch flat-head Phillips screws in 316 stainless steel and one 2-inch NPT plug. Pool finish material and optional hydrostatic valve or tools are not included.

The current catalog labels the single bottom connection as 2-inch socket × 2½-inch spigot × 2-inch NPT. Match the actual pipe and port arrangement to the full drawing and model-specific instructions. An older cut-sheet drawing uses a different slip-inside label; the current catalog and the manufacturer feature description identify the spigot connection.

AquaStar states that White assemblies use a White PVC sump, while the other current cover finishes use a Medium Gray PVC sump. The selected Light Gray finish identifies the ordered product finish; it does not mean every component is molded in that finish. The family photo may show another cover finish.

Yes. The current catalog identifies FC for concrete pool and spa applications. The model-specific manual and linked flow specifications identify this approved configuration for floor use only. Do not assume it is interchangeable with a vinyl/fiberglass fitting or a wall-mounted suction outlet.

Yes. The manufacturer describes the circular design as filled with plaster or pebble to blend with the pool interior. Finish material is not supplied with this listing. Have a qualified installer follow the complete manufacturer and pool-finish instructions while preserving the required openings, cover access and finished-surface positioning.

The IN023-021226 manual says the disposable plaster shield and center plaster cap must be removed. The manufacturer-supplied drain cover and marked center logo cap must be installed with their screws before startup. The temporary finishing shields are not operating suction outlet covers.

AquaStar’s FC specifications revised April 2, 2024 list the specified floor configuration at 170 GPM for a 2-inch bottom pipe and 190 GPM for a 2½-inch bottom pipe, each with the stated 1½-inch minimum pipe depth and complete required flow-path geometry. Match all installation conditions and any pipe-size changes within the specified distance. The nominal 20-inch size alone does not establish the rating.

Yes. The current catalog and FC installation instructions identify the complete approved FC configuration as unblockable. The manual permits marked unblockable SOFAs in single- or multiple-SOFA systems, subject to the approved installation and maximum system flow. A qualified pool professional must verify the actual assembly and system; other Circle designs have separate model-specific documentation.

AquaStar describes the perimeter waterstop as helping protect against leaks at the pool finish. Correct installation and a sound surrounding finish remain necessary. This feature does not establish a blanket leak warranty or replace the manufacturer’s installation requirements.

No. The catalog shows HVCxxx as an optional self-contained hydrostatic valve assembly and separately identifies FCHVxxx as a combination drain package with hydrostatic valve and collector tube. Those are distinct items. This standard FCxxx listing supplies the parts listed above.

The catalog describes optional FC16102 as the T-wrench for installing or removing the 2-inch plug and identifies 8SBP among its plug applications for FC and 8-inch sump buckets. That plug reference is not a separate high-flow or balanced-flow performance configuration. FC16102 is a separate tool, not included with the FC assembly.

The current catalog lists FC23109 plaster shields, FC08Kxxx center logo cap with screws, and FC20xxx drain cover with center cap and screws as separate parts. SCW017 is the separate ten-screw replacement kit: ten 10-32 × ¾-inch flat-head Phillips screws. Confirm the exact existing FC assembly and approved replacement parts before servicing.

This listing supplies one complete FC assembly. The current catalog identifies one assembly per case. Other service-part case quantities do not change the quantity or included components of this listing.

The actual current FC manual is IN023-021226 despite the older100422 filename. The flow document is actual revision04/02/2024 and the general certificate is revision031722. The catalog identifies certification to NSF/ANSI/CAN 50 and ANSI/APSP/ICC-16 2017. Match the actual product markings and manufacturing generation to the applicable documents.

The current catalog requires replacement of the round suction outlet cover and center cap every five years. IN023-021226 requires replacement of the cover assembly and fasteners within five years, and of the mud frame and sump within thirty years or if damaged. Brittle, significantly discolored or damaged components require replacement. Service life starts at installation, with or without water. Follow all inspection and maintenance requirements.

AquaStar’s 2026 catalog states a general one-year limited warranty from original installation for defects in materials and workmanship, subject to the complete terms and exclusions. Color fading, improper installation, poor water chemistry and other listed causes are excluded; non-approved components may void coverage. Repair or replacement is at AquaStar’s option. Read the manufacturer’s catalog limited warranty, printed page 238. A drain cover’s required replacement interval is a separate matter.
