Pentair 79101600Z 8 3/8" Lens Gasket.

Product Overview

The Pentair 79101600Z 8-3/8" Lens Gasket is an OEM replacement gasket designed to help create a watertight seal between the pool light lens and fixture housing. This gasket is commonly used when servicing compatible Pentair Amerlite, Spectrum Amerlite, and select related pool light fixtures.

When replacing a bulb, lens, or face ring, it is strongly recommended to replace the lens gasket at the same time. A worn, flattened, cracked, or reused gasket may allow water to enter the fixture, which can damage the light and create an unsafe electrical condition.
