AquaStar Locking Ring Cover & O-Ring For Pipeline Pump | AP1101

The AquaStar AP1101 Pump Locking Ring, Cover & O-Ring Assembly is a high-quality OEM replacement built for AquaStar Pipeline Pumps, including the PLP150S 1.5 HP and PLP300S 3.0 HP variable-speed models. This all-in-one assembly combines a transparent cover, locking ring, and EPDM O-Ring (#439) to create a tight, leak-resistant seal that safeguards pump hydraulic performance and helps extend its operating life. Manufactured from UV-stable, wear-resistant, and chemical-tolerant materials, the AP1101 stands up to years of exposure in demanding pool conditions. The direct-fit design makes lid and locking ring removal easy, ensuring fast access to the strainer basket for cleaning or inspection. When installed and lubricated correctly, the O-Ring reduces air leaks into the system, helping keep the pump primed and maintaining steady water circulation season after season.
