When the manifold body cracks, warps, or its O-ring fails, water can bypass the heat exchanger or leak internally — resulting in reduced heating efficiency, water loss, or damage to surrounding heater components. Replacing the manifold body and O-ring together restores proper flow routing and sealing integrity. Match the part number 77707-0206 against your existing component or your heater's service manual before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePentair Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e77707-0206\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eManifold Body with O-Ring\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore installation, apply a thin, even coat of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentairwaterpoolandspainc_r172351\" alt=\"Pentair R172351 Lifeguard Silicone Lubricant\"\u003ePentair R172351 Lifeguard® Silicone Lubricant\u003c\/a\u003e to the O-ring. This helps the O-ring seat correctly, prevents tearing during assembly, and extends its service life. Never use petroleum-based lubricants — they will degrade rubber O-rings and cause premature seal failure. While the heater is open for this service, have your technician inspect adjacent seals and connections for wear to avoid a return visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-04-06 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53980376531219,"sku":"77707-0206","price":215.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/pentair-manifold-body-o-ring-sta-rite-77707-0206-1.webp?v=1774523928","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentairwaterpoolandspainc_77707-0206","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
