Quick overview
- Seal plate square ring Seals the joint at the seal plate rather than a round o-ring groove.
- Max-E-Pro and IntelliPro Listed for both pump families.
- Two part numbers Sold as Pentair 357099Z and also listed as replacement part U9-228A.
- Square section A square ring seats flat in its groove and does not roll the way a round ring can.
- Cheap insurance A hardened ring is a common source of a weep at the seal plate joint.
- Fit it during a reseal The seal plate has to come off for a shaft seal change, so the ring is worth doing at the same time.

Product details
The Pentair 357099Z is the square ring that seals at the seal plate on Max-E-Pro and IntelliPro pumps. Pentair also lists it under replacement part number U9-228A.
What a square ring does
A square section ring seats flat in its groove and holds its position under clamping load. That gives a wide, even contact face at the seal plate joint. Over seasons the rubber hardens and takes a set, and the joint starts to weep. A fresh ring restores the seal.
When to fit it
The seal plate has to be separated from the volute to reach the shaft seal, so a pump that is already apart for a seal change is the natural moment to renew this ring rather than reuse a compressed one.
