It is the genuine Pentair part, ordered by number so there is no matching a coupling by eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat a coupling does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen to fit one\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReplace 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633931333844,"sku":"COM-561-2126","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_5e8a8e4c-a79c-4f8c-b4be-3e1ab177bdf1.jpg?v=1788817474","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/shaft-coupling-for-voh-8","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
