I am replacing a pump motor and seal on a Sta-rite pump labeled P2RA5E-1241......The 1241 suffix isa little fuzzy with only 24 being clear. What seal should I order?

Jerry,A prefix of P2RA will cross reference to the Dura-glas pump. The mfg made changes to the pump around 1998, so there are two different seals depending if you purchased your pump before 1998 or after 1998. You can view both on the parts breakdown.

My pump calls for the Seal part #37400-0028 instead of the seal #37400-0028S. What is the difference between the part number with the "S" or without? Thanks

They are the same part. There is no difference.

Which way does the shaft seal go on?

Good morning Brian, You want them to touch ceramic to ceramic. The black ceramic side must touch the white ceramic housing side.

When you get your shaft seal and you mount the part with the seal, which end of spring goes on next, you have one end that flat metal and one with black plastic?
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/28/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Scott W.

The spring part of the shaft seal is put on the shaft of the impeller with the metal touching the back of the impeller and the ceramic part of the shaft seal is placed in the center of the seal plate with the white pointing towards the impeller.

There used to be a copper cone that the pump seal went into, do you not use that anymore?
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/28/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Scott W.

Did you get a shaft seal for a different model of Sta-Rite because that shaft seal goes to the Max-E-Pro, the models with the copper cone in the seal plate are the older models like the Dura-Glas (1 & 2) and Max-E-Glas (1 & 2)?
