Product details
The Pentair 79206000 is the sealing ring for the small stainless steel AquaLight niche. It is the genuine Pentair replacement part.
Where it sits
The niche is the housing set into the pool wall that the light fixture drops into. This ring seals at that niche, and it is the part that keeps water where it belongs behind the fixture. It is not the lens gasket on the light itself, which is a separate item.
Why to replace it rather than reuse it
Sealing rings take a permanent set. After years compressed in place they flatten and harden, and a ring that looks fine on the bench will often weep once it is torqued back down. Given how much work it is to pull a light out of a pool wall, the ring is worth changing while everything is already apart.
