Part # 5112-223
Manufacturer Code SPX3200WF
TRI STAR SHORT RISER BASE (SPX3200WF) MEASURES 1.25" TALL.
This riser base is commonly used with replacing a Hayward Northstar Pump with a Hayward Tri Star Pump. This riser base raises the pump up approximately 1" so the plumbing ports match the plumbing ports of the old Northstar Pump, this means no re-plumbing.
Also used to raise TriStar pumps (all models) to match WhisperFlo pump inlet port plumbing.
I need to raise a Tri Star pump about 1.5 inches. How much would it be raised with the SPX3200WF base, or the taller SPX3200SR ?

This riser, rises the Tristar 1 inch and is most often used when replacing a Hayward Northstar Pump. The SPX3200SR TRI STAR TALL RISER BASE (SPX3200SR) MEASURES 2.77" TALL and Aligns with the Sta-Rite Max-E-Pro, Max-E-Glas, Dura-Glas and Dura-Glas II Pumps.

Thanks for the reply. I am replacing a NorthStar pump. In measuring the NorthStar input port, it is 1.5 inch high. It seems that neither the SPX3200WF raiser at 1 inch, nor the taller SPX3200SR at 2.77 inches would work. I will have to do some plumbing adjustments or find another way to raise the TriStar. Thanks anyhow.

Hi, The SPX3200WF is specifically designed to match the Tristar up to the Northstar plumbing so our measurement of 1" may be off. I would suggest ordering the SPX3200WF and if it does not work then you can always return it in unused condition. You would just be responsible for the return shipping charge.
