Hayward Strainer Cover Kit for TriStar VS and TriStar XE Pumps | SPX3200DLS

The Hayward Strainer Cover Kit (SPX3200DLS) is the OEM replacement strainer cover assembly for Hayward TriStar VS and TriStar XE variable-speed pumps. This kit includes the strainer cover, lock ring, and O-ring — everything needed to restore a proper seal at the pump's strainer housing. IMPORTANT: LUBRICATION REQUIRED — SOLD SEPARATELY Always lubricate the included O-ring with a silicone-based lubricant before installation. Browse our Pool Plumbing Lubricants for a compatible silicone lubricant. The strainer cover, lock ring, and O-ring work together to create a watertight seal over the pump's strainer basket chamber. Replacing these components as a matched set addresses cover cracks, lock ring damage, or O-ring wear that can cause air leaks, loss of prime, or water seepage at the strainer housing.

This is not an exhaustive list. For certainty, verify the part number in your equipment's manual or on the original part itself before ordering. Poolaroo Pro Tip When installing this kit, always apply a thin, even coat of silicone-based lubricant to the O-ring before seating it — this prevents tearing during installation and helps the lock ring thread on smoothly without cross-threading. Never use petroleum-based products on pool O-rings. Find a compatible silicone lubricant in our Pool Plumbing Lubricants collection. As good practice, inspect the strainer cover and lock ring threads for hairline cracks each time you service the basket — early replacement prevents air ingestion and loss of prime.
