{"product_id":"trap-cover-o-ring","title":"Sta-Rite Trap Cover O-Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the trap cover o-ring for Sta-Rite pumps, carried as part number U9-375 and also as O-12. It measures 6-1\/4 inches on the inside diameter with a 1\/4 inch cross section, and it is listed for the Sta-Rite Dyna-Glas and Dyna-Max pumps from 3\/4 through 2 HP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it matters more than it looks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe trap cover o-ring is the seal between the strainer pot and its lid, which puts it on the suction side of the pump. Anything that is not airtight there does not leak water out, it draws air in. That is the difference between a pump that primes and holds and one that runs half full of air, loses flow, and eventually runs its seal dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat our source says, and where it disagrees\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listing carries the Sta-Rite brand and two part numbers, U9-375 and O-12, while the description also refers to the ring as generic. We have kept both readings rather than choose one. It appears on the Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas II and Dura-Glas II, Dyna-Glas and Dyna-Max, and Pentair Dyna-Wave pump parts diagrams.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the groove and the lid face clean, seat the ring without twisting it, and use a silicone based o-ring lubricant. That lubricant is not optional on a lid that gets opened for basket cleaning, since a dry ring bonds to the lid and tears the next time the pot is opened.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sta-Rite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48629118140628,"sku":"STA-101-7462","price":26.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_f0eaeabb-5b2a-4e9f-b7d3-1abd010417a7.gif?v=1788759872","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/trap-cover-o-ring","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
