- Built for the VOH-8 Listed by Pentair as the shaft coupling for that pump.
- Ties motor to pump A coupling is what carries the motor shaft drive across to the pump end.

Product details
Pentair SK5V is the shaft coupling for the VOH-8. It is the genuine Pentair part, ordered by number so there is no matching a coupling by eye.
What a coupling does
The coupling sits between the motor and the pump and carries the drive from one to the other. It absorbs the shock of every start and every stop, which is why it is treated as a service part rather than a permanent fitting. A coupling that has split or been chewed up will slip, rattle or fail outright, and the pump will lose performance long before it stops turning.
When to fit one
Replace it when it is visibly damaged. It is also the sort of part worth renewing while the motor is already off the pump for a seal or bearing job, because the labor to reach it is already spent.
