This is the genuine Sta-Rite replacement locking ring (cam clamp) for the strainer pot lid on IntelliFlo, WhisperFlo, and S5P5R series pool pumps. It secures the strainer lid firmly against the pump body, maintaining a pressure-tight seal around the strainer basket and preventing leaks during operation. If your existing ring is cracked, warped, or no longer holding the lid securely, this OEM part restores the pump to factory specification.<\/p>\n
This locking ring is designed specifically for Sta-Rite IntelliFlo, WhisperFlo, and WhisperPro S5P5R in-ground pool and spa pumps (including model variants S5P5RD, S5P5RE, S5P5RF, S5P5RG, and S5P5RH in both single-phase and three-phase configurations). Always verify your pump model before ordering, as a separate locking ring exists for the IntelliFlo \/ Ultraflow \/ Ultra-Glas series (R39105000).<\/p>\n
As an OEM Sta-Rite part, the R357150 locking ring is manufactured to the exact tolerances required for a reliable volute seal \u2014 preventing air ingestion, pressure loss, and water leakage at the strainer pot. Aftermarket rings can vary in fit and material quality, potentially leading to premature wear or seal failure. Choosing a genuine Sta-Rite part protects your pump warranty and ensures long-term performance.<\/p>\n
Switch off and isolate the pump before servicing. Release any residual pressure, then rotate the old locking ring counter-clockwise to remove it. Seat the strainer lid (with O-ring in place) and thread the new locking ring clockwise until the handles are horizontal and the lid is firmly locked. No special tools are required; inspect the lid O-ring at the same time and replace it if worn.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
