Quick overview
- Genuine Pentair Factory part 355302, not an aftermarket housing.
- Threaded suction This is the threaded suction version of the front housing, so check your suction port before ordering.
- Challenger parts group Listed under Pentair Challenger high head and high flow model parts.
- The wet end front half The housing carries the strainer basket and the suction and discharge ports, so a crack here means a pump that will not hold prime.

Product details
The Pentair 355302 is the front housing with threaded suction, the genuine OEM part listed under Pentair Challenger high head and high flow pump parts.
What the front housing does
The front housing is the front half of the wet end. It holds the strainer basket and carries the suction and discharge connections, so it takes the full pressure of the system and every knock at the equipment pad. Once it cracks or the port threads give up, the pump draws air, loses prime and can run dry, and no amount of new lid o-rings will fix it.
Before you order
This is the threaded suction version, so check what your pump has at the suction port. The housing is supplied on its own; the strainer basket, the lid and the seals are separate Pentair parts, and a housing swap is a good moment to replace the ones that are already tired.
