{"product_id":"housing-gasket-1","title":"Aladdin Generic Super II Housing Gasket","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Aladdin G-345-9 is a generic housing gasket for Hayward Super II pumps. It is an aftermarket part, not a Hayward branded one, and it fills the same job at a generic part price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it seals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe housing gasket sits at the joint between the two halves of the pump. It is the seal that gets disturbed every single time the pump is opened, whether that is to reach the impeller, change the mechanical seal or chase down a leak. The source describes the part both as a housing gasket and as an o-ring for that joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeat it in a clean groove and bring the housing back together evenly so the gasket beds all the way around. An old gasket that has flattened, hardened or cracked will not seal again once it has been off, which is why it is a good thing to have on the shelf before you open the pump.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aladdin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633442631892,"sku":"ALA-601-5905","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_8dfc6fe8-ae02-4f37-a2e4-fc09538e8c83.jpg?v=1788801823","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/housing-gasket-1","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
