I emailed Paramount and this was their response, which doesn't help me.

We purchased a house that had a Paramount PCC2000 in-floor cleaning system that was built ~1996-ish. We had the pool re-plastered a few years ago, and the pool company removed the main drain cover and replaced it with a standard Hayward style safety-compliant cover (like the one seen here)...
