Practical Garden Ponds Oak Leaf Scupper

To achieve the intended cascading effect, you should select a pump capable of maintaining a flow rate between 3 and 5 gallons per minute (GPM). Since the pump is not included, ensure your chosen model is rated for outdoor use and can handle the specific head pressure required for your installation height.

The scupper does not include mounting hardware, as the requirements vary depending on whether you are installing it into a masonry wall, a pool beam, or a custom fountain structure. You will need to source appropriate fasteners and plumbing connections compatible with your specific wall material.

This product is made of metal with an oil-rubbed bronze finish, which is not specifically treated for the corrosive environment of a saltwater pool. We recommend using this scupper in freshwater applications to maintain the integrity of the finish and prevent premature degradation.

The included grounding lug is a critical safety feature that allows you to bond the metal scupper to your pool or fountain's electrical grounding system. This helps prevent stray current and ensures the installation meets standard safety codes for water features.

The scupper features a flat, square back plate measuring 6.625 inches. For the best aesthetic and structural result, it should be mounted on a flat, vertical surface to ensure a flush fit and consistent water flow.
