By replacing the original seal plate and mechanical seal in one operation, this kit restores a<br \/>\ndry, secure interface between the motor and the wet end and helps stop leaks around the pump shaft.<\/p>\n<h3>Main features of the R355612SS seal plate kit<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Original style Sta-Rite seal plate with pre installed mechanical shaft seal.<\/li>\n<li>Compatible with SuperFlo, SuperMax and S5P1R pump housings.<\/li>\n<li>Creates a watertight barrier between the hydraulic body and motor flange.<\/li>\n<li>Designed for continuous duty in chlorinated and salt treated pool water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Function in Sta-Rite Superflo and Supermax pumps<\/h3>\n<p>In Sta-Rite SuperFlo, SuperMax and S5P1R pumps, the seal plate forms the rear wall of the volute and supports the mechanical seal around the motor<br \/>\nshaft. It keeps pool water under pressure inside the pump body while preventing it from reaching the motor bearings. A sound R355612SS assembly is<br \/>\nessential to avoid leaks, rust on the motor and premature bearing failure.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Holds and centres the motor shaft in relation to the impeller and diffuser.<\/li>\n<li>Positions the rotating and stationary faces of the mechanical seal correctly.<\/li>\n<li>Ensures the pump operates leak free at normal filtration pressures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Compatibility and identification<\/h3>\n<p>This seal plate and mechanical seal assembly is used on a family of Sta-Rite pumps that share the same wet end design. It is the correct replacement<br \/>\npart when the exploded diagram or spare parts list specifies reference R355612SS as the seal plate for your model.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sta-Rite SuperFlo circulation pumps that list R355612SS in the parts breakdown.<\/li>\n<li>Sta-Rite SuperMax pumps with the same rear housing and shaft seal layout.<\/li>\n<li>Sta-Rite S5P1R models using the SuperMax style wet end and seal plate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Always confirm the pump model on the data plate and cross check with the manufacturer spare parts diagram before ordering, to make sure this kit matches<br \/>\nyour exact SuperFlo, SuperMax or S5P1R version.<\/p>\n<h3>When to replace the seal plate and mechanical seal<\/h3>\n<p>Seal plates and mechanical seals are exposed to heat, pressure and pool chemicals. Over time they can wear, crack or deform, allowing water to pass<br \/>\nbetween the wet end and the motor.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visible water drips or salt deposits at the junction between motor and pump housing.<\/li>\n<li>Rust marks or moisture on the motor foot or under the pump.<\/li>\n<li>Cracks or erosion visible on the existing seal plate.<\/li>\n<li>Motor bearing noise that may indicate past water ingress through a failed seal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Replacing the complete assembly with a new Sta-Rite seal plate with mechanical seal for Superflo, Supermax and S5P1R R355612SS is often more reliable<br \/>\nthan changing only the seal in an old, damaged plate.<\/p>\n<h3>Installation guidelines<\/h3>\n<p>Installing this kit involves separating the wet end from the motor and handling the shaft and impeller. The work should always be done with the power<br \/>\nisolated and the hydraulic circuit depressurised.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Disconnect the pump from the electrical supply and make sure it cannot start accidentally.<\/li>\n<li>Close the valves and open unions or drain plugs to empty the pump housing.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the bolts that join the wet end to the motor and pull the two sections apart.<\/li>\n<li>Hold the motor shaft as specified by the manufacturer and unscrew the impeller carefully.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the old seal plate and mechanical seal and clean the motor flange and shaft shoulder.<\/li>\n<li>Fit the new R355612SS seal plate, making sure the pre installed mechanical seal remains clean and correctly seated.<\/li>\n<li>Reinstall the impeller, refit the housing and tighten the bolts evenly around the pump.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After reassembly, open the valves, prime the pump if necessary and run it while inspecting the joint between the wet end and motor for any sign of<br \/>\nleakage.<\/p>\n<h3>Good practice for longer service life<\/h3>\n<p>Correct operating conditions help the new seal plate and mechanical seal last longer and protect the motor.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not run the pump dry; always ensure the housing is fully primed before starting.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain balanced water to limit corrosion and scale around metallic parts.<\/li>\n<li>Check the pump regularly for moisture around the base and correct small leaks quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Keep pipework well supported so vibration and mechanical stress on the pump body are minimised.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With a correctly installed Sta-Rite seal plate with mechanical seal for Superflo, Supermax and S5P1R R355612SS, the pump wet end is once again properly<br \/>\nsealed and ready for many more seasons of reliable filtration.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sta-Rite seal plate with mechanical seal for Superflo, Supermax and S5P1R R355612SS The Sta-Rite seal plate with mechanical seal for Superflo, Supermax and S5P1R R355612SS is a complete rear housing and shaft seal assembly for Sta-Rite SuperFlo, SuperMax and S5P1R pool pumps.
