Inspect threads on the pump housing before reinstalling; cross-threaded or damaged housing threads will cause ongoing leak issues regardless of bolt condition. Match the 3\/8-16 x 2\" specification and 18-8 stainless grade stamped or listed on your original hardware before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-04-06 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53960115880211,"sku":"070431Z","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/pentair-stainless-steel-seal-plate-bolt-3-8-16-x-2-whisperflo-intelliflo-070431z.webp?v=1776439026","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentairwaterpoolandspainc_070431z","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
