Smooth Flow Radius Scupper: a rounded lip that rolls water off as one glassy sheet, 8 to 48 inches
The Outdoor Plus Smooth Flow Radius scupper is a metal box spout with a lip that curves down and over, so the water rolls off in one smooth, even sheet with no ragged edge. It sets into a pool wall or raised bond beam and is made in the USA. Choose 8, 12, 24, 36, or 48 inches wide in copper, which darkens with age, or stainless steel, which stays bright.
Your builder plumbs the supply line to the back. Want a flat shelf lip instead of a rounded one? See the Arch Flow scupper. The Smooth Flow Radius scupper ships free from My Cozy Outdoors with No Sales Tax (except WY) and the full manufacturer warranty.

FAQ
What does Smooth Flow mean on this scupper?
The Smooth Flow Radius Scupper is shaped to settle and steady the water before it leaves the lip, so the sheet comes off glassier and more even than a livelier spillway. If you want that clear, unbroken pane-of-water look from a curved lip, this is the version to specify.
How is the Smooth Flow Radius different from the standard Radius Scupper?
Same family and the same curved profile in 8 to 48 inch widths; the Smooth Flow Radius simply prioritizes a calmer, quieter, glass-like sheet. Choose the standard Radius when you want a livelier spill and a bit more water sound, and Smooth Flow when the goal is serenity.
Which sizes and SKUs does the Smooth Flow Radius come in?
Widths of 8, 12, 24, 36, and 48 inches. Copper runs OPT-SFR8 through OPT-SFR48, and stainless steel versions carry an -SS suffix, as in OPT-SFR24-SS. Mixing one wide unit with smaller flanking units on the same wall is a popular layout.
What exactly is a scupper in pool design?
It is an architectural spout, usually set into a raised wall or bond beam, that pours a shaped stream into the pool below. The Smooth Flow Radius is a water-only example, fed by a recirculating line, and it shares its plumbing logic with the spillways on our water bowls.
Copper or stainless steel for the Smooth Flow Radius?
Pick copper if you like a metal that evolves; it will darken into a warm penny-brown patina over the seasons. Pick stainless if you want the Smooth Flow Radius to look the same in year ten as on day one with nothing more than a rinse now and then.
What happens to the Smooth Flow Radius in winter?
Nothing bad, provided the plumbing behind it is drained when the pool or feature is closed. Solid-metal scuppers like the Smooth Flow Radius are not harmed by frost; the freeze risk lives in water trapped inside supply lines, which your pool tech clears at closing time.
Can the Smooth Flow Radius feed a spa instead of a pool?
Absolutely. The glassy sheet off a Smooth Flow Radius makes an elegant spa filler or spa-to-pool spillover accent, and the smaller 8 and 12 inch widths are scaled for exactly that kind of intimate wall. Your contractor sizes the feed line to the flow the spa system provides.
