Aladdin O-492 Sta-Rite Light Lens Gasket

The Aladdin O-492 Light Lens Gasket is designed to match the OEM specifications used in many Sta-Rite and Pentair pool and spa light assemblies, including SunBrite and SunGlow series fixtures. With a 7.25 inch inside diameter and 8 inch outside diameter, it aligns with the standard lens-seal dimensions found in these housings, allowing the gasket to seat securely around the lens rim for reliable watertight performance. Constructed from chemical-resistant elastomer, the O-492 maintains flexibility during continuous submersion, heat exposure, and contact with pool sanitizers, helping prevent leaks that can damage internal lighting components. Often cross-referenced with OEM part numbers such as 05501-0001 and 05501-0007, it provides an easy, dependable replacement during maintenance, lens cleaning, or fixture rebuilds.

Installation, Maintenance, and Service Preparation

Wholesale Pool Mart customers often gather all needed replacement parts prior to field work.
