Housing gasket for the Sta-Rite Sta-Rite Swimtec pool pump range. This gasket seals the joint between the pump body (volute) and the seal-plate flange \u2014 one of the two static seals in the pump, and always the one that leaks first after the mechanical seal itself gives up.<\/p>\n
Standard service item on every seal job. A compressed gasket that’s given faithful service for 3 pool seasons will NOT reseal against a new seal plate \u2014 the elastomer takes a permanent set, and reusing it wastes the new seal + your service window. Order one with every mechanical seal.<\/p>\n
Install dry (no grease) into a clean, dry groove; grease attracts sand and eventually kills the seal. Torque the seal-plate bolts in a cross pattern to the OEM spec \u2014 over-torque cuts the gasket and undoes the whole install.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
