Aladdin Sta-Rite Light Lens Gasket | O-492

The Aladdin O-492 Light Lens Gasket provides a reliable replacement for Sta-Rite and Pentair spa and pool lights, manufactured to match OEM-style dimensions used in SunBrite, SunGlow, and similar lighting systems. Its 7.25 inch inside diameter and 8 inch outside diameter follow the standard lens-seal sizing found in these fixtures, allowing the gasket to sit uniformly around the lens during reassembly. Built from chemical-resistant rubber, the O-492 maintains elasticity through heat, sanitizers, and long-term submersion, helping prevent water intrusion that could corrode internal components. Frequently listed as a substitute for OEM parts such as 05501-0001 and 05501-0005, it supports easy maintenance, lens cleaning, and routine light servicing.

• Durable Rubber Design: Constructed from chlorine-resistant elastomer that withstands continuous water exposure without hardening or deforming.

• Easy to Install: Seats directly into the lens groove, making replacements quick during bulb service or lens-ring repairs.

• Compatible OEM Numbers: Suitable for several OEM part equivalents including 05501-0001, 05501-0005, APCO2265, and 05501-0007.
