Product Overview
Repair a compatible pump housing with the Pentair Sta-Rite Tank Body Assembly for Max-E-Glas II and Dura-Glas II pumps. This OEM replacement includes the tank body, trap cover, cover O-ring, and strainer basket, providing several related service components in one assembly. It is an option for repairing a damaged housing when the existing motor and other pump components remain serviceable. This is a pump body assembly—not a complete pump, motor, or filter tank.
Ideal For
- Pool professionals repairing compatible Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas II or Dura-Glas II pumps.
- Pool owners replacing a cracked or damaged pump housing after professional diagnosis.
- Repair projects that also require a replacement trap cover, cover seal, and basket.
Key Features
- Genuine Pentair Sta-Rite replacement assembly for the specified pump families.
- Tank body supplied with the trap cover, O-ring, and strainer basket.
- Removable trap cover provides access to the basket for routine cleaning.

Benefits
- Combines the housing and several related maintenance components in one purchase.
- Supports targeted repair when a complete pump replacement is unnecessary.
- Replaces the trap cover and its sealing O-ring alongside the tank body.
- Provides an OEM component that can be matched against the pump’s replacement-parts diagram.
The cause of housing damage should be addressed during the repair. Inspect the connected plumbing and supporting components before returning the pump to service.

- One trap-cover O-ring.

The motor, impeller, diffuser, seal plate, and tank-body clamp are separate components and are not included.
Confirm Before Ordering / Compatibility
This assembly is listed for Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas II and Dura-Glas II pumps. Confirm the complete pump model and compare the housing against the manufacturer’s parts diagram before ordering.
The “II” designation matters. Do not assume compatibility with earlier Max-E-Glas or Dura-Glas pumps, or with another Sta-Rite pump that looks similar.
Check the existing plumbing connections, clamp, seal plate, and associated seals. Installation may require plumbing adjustments or additional service parts. Have a qualified pool professional assess the repair, isolate electrical power, and relieve system pressure before disassembly.
