Pentair / Sta-Rite 5" Strainer Trap (Trap Assembly) with Basket | PKG115 The Pentair/Sta-Rite PKG115 is a 5" strainer trap (trap assembly) used on select Sta-Rite pump models. It replaces the pump’s suction strainer pot/trap section and includes the strainer basket, helping protect the impeller by capturing leaves and larger debris before water enters the pump. Compatibility Sta-Rite Dura-Glas inground pool & spa pumps (5" trap style) Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas inground pool & spa pumps (5" trap style) Sta-Rite JWPA Series (where the parts list specifies PKG115 / 5059J trap assembly) Tip: Match your existing trap size (5") and pump model/series before ordering. Key Features Complete 5" trap assembly replacement for compatible pump strainer sections. Includes strainer basket to catch leaves and debris before the pump. Restores proper sealing when the original trap is cracked, warped, or leaking. Helps maintain prime and flow by eliminating suction-side air leaks caused by damaged trap housings.

Common Reasons to Replace Cracked trap housing or lid causing water leaks Air being pulled into the pump (loss of prime, bubbles in pump basket) Warped sealing surfaces that won’t hold an O-ring seal Basket no longer seats correctly or trap components are damaged from freeze/impact Installation Notes Turn off power to the pump at the breaker before servicing. Relieve system pressure and drain water from the pump/trap as needed. Inspect suction plumbing alignment—stress on fittings can contribute to cracks and leaks. When reassembling, clean sealing surfaces and lightly lubricate O-rings with silicone lube. After restart, verify the pump primes normally and check for drips/air leaks around the lid and ports.

Clean and lightly lubricate the lid O-ring periodically to prevent sticking and air leaks. Never run the pump with the basket missing; debris can damage the impeller and diffuser. In freeze-prone areas, winterize properly to prevent trap housings and plugs from cracking.
