It measures 5-3\/4 inches across the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover o-ring is the only thing sealing the strainer pot lid against atmosphere. When the pump runs it pulls a vacuum in that pot, so a ring that has gone hard, flat or cracked lets air straight in. The usual symptoms are a basket that will not fill, a pump that loses prime after it shuts off, or foam and bubbles at the returns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePentair changed the pump lid over the years, so measure the ring you are replacing. This one is the 5-3\/4 inch inside diameter size for the pre 11\/1998 bodies. Fit it clean and dry, then add a thin film of silicone o-ring lubricant intended for pool equipment. Petroleum grease will swell the rubber and shorten its life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48629533409492,"sku":"PUR-101-3400","price":13.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_cde04867-4c2c-47d0-8c1a-5e83ca564c67.png?v=1788766091","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/cover-o-ring-5-3-4-id","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
