Pentair Almond Seal Plate | SuperFlo & SuperMax Variable Speed Pumps | 356012Z

The Pentair Seal Plate (356012Z) is the OEM replacement seal plate for the SuperFlo and SuperMax pump families, finished in Almond. This is a color-specific listing — confirm your existing seal plate is Almond before ordering.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: MANUFACTURE DATE RESTRICTION
This seal plate fits SuperFlo VS/VST and SuperMax VS pumps manufactured before June 17, 2019. Pumps built on or after that date require a different seal plate. Check the date code on your pump's nameplate before ordering.

The seal plate is the structural interface between the pump's wet end and motor assembly. It houses the mechanical shaft seal and positions the impeller cavity relative to the motor shaft. A cracked, warped, or leaking seal plate allows water to migrate toward the motor bearing, accelerating motor failure. Replacing a damaged seal plate with the correct OEM part restores the pressure envelope and proper shaft seal seating. Match the part number molded into your existing seal plate before ordering.

Compatibility is based on Pentair parts documentation and available OEM records. 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.

Pro Tip

When replacing the seal plate, plan to replace the mechanical shaft seal at the same time — the two components wear together, and reusing an old shaft seal against a new seal plate surface is a common cause of repeat leaks. Also confirm the manufacture date on your pump's nameplate: this seal plate is specific to units built before June 17, 2019. The date code is typically found on the label affixed to the motor housing.
