Description
This Aladdin replacement gasket, part number O-170-0 and O-170-9, provides a watertight seal for 8-3/8-inch silicone lenses on Pentair Amerlite, Intellibrite, Sam Spectrum, and Super-Pro underwater pool lights, preventing hydrostatic water damage to the fixture housing. Maintaining a proper seal is essential to protect internal wiring and electrical components from pool chemicals and moisture ingress, ensuring safe and reliable operation in submerged environments.
Specifications and Compatibility
- Lens Diameter: 8-3/8 inches, matching the standard silicone light lens dimensions precisely.
- Compatible Systems: Direct replacement for Pentair Amerlite, Intellibrite, Sam Spectrum, and Super-Pro underwater lighting fixtures.
- Material Properties: Formulated to withstand continuous submersion, resisting degradation from chlorine, bromine, and UV exposure while retaining compressive strength over years of use.
- Fitness for Purpose: Restores the manufacturer's waterproof seal on the light assembly, ensuring the lens remains securely sealed against the fixture base.
Over time, exposure to pool chemicals and temperature fluctuations causes original gaskets to shrink, harden, or crack, compromising the light's protective barrier. By replacing the worn seal with this direct-fit O-ring, pool owners restore the original factory integrity of their lighting system. Installation requires simply removing the silicone lens, cleaning the housing channel of debris and old silicone residue, and seating this gasket to create a durable, leak-proof barrier that extends the operational lifespan of your pool lights and prevents costly electrical repairs.
