Pentair 79206000 Sealing Ring – Small Stainless Steel Niche
Part Number: 79206000
Description
A genuine replacement sealing ring designed for small stainless steel light niches. Helps maintain a watertight seal between the pool light face and the niche housing, preventing leaks and ensuring safe operation.
Compatibility & Fitment
- Fits small stainless steel niches designed for pool lighting, particularly those by the same manufacturer that originally supplied this part.
- Use when the original sealing ring is cracked, missing, leaking, or after the light housing has been removed and resealed.
- Direct replacement for systems specifying part number 79206000.
Features & Specifications
- Pre-molded sealing ring to match OEM dimensions for proper fit.
- Six-hole screw pattern for fastening to niche housing.
- Construction suitable for wet environments and underwater light housings.
Installation Notes
Shut off power to the lighting circuit and ensure the pool area is safe and de-energized. Remove the light housing to access the sealing ring. Clean the housing flange and remove old gasket materials. Place the new 79206000 ring in position and reinstall the housing, tightening screws evenly to ensure uniform seal compression. Restore power and inspect for water intrusion before closing the system.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the sealing ring each service interval. If you observe water seepage behind the light housing, discoloration around the niche flange, or compromised screws, replace the ring immediately to maintain safe and leak-free operation.
