Pentair 236950 / A&A 516664 Style 1 Cleaning Head Square O-Ring
The Pentair 236950 Square O-Ring, formerly A&A part number 516664, is a genuine replacement seal for Style 1 in-floor cleaning heads. This square-profile O-ring helps seal the internal cleaning head assembly and supports proper pop-up operation in compatible Pentair/A&A in-floor pool cleaning systems.
This replacement O-ring is commonly used when the existing seal is worn, flattened, stretched, leaking, cracked, or damaged during cleaning head service. A properly seated square O-ring helps maintain pressure at the cleaning head and supports reliable in-floor cleaning performance.

Installation Notes
- Turn off the pool pump before removing or servicing an in-floor cleaning head.
- Use the correct removal tool for the cleaning head style when required.
- Remove the old O-ring and clean the O-ring groove before installing the replacement.
- Inspect the cleaning head internal and floor fitting for cracks, debris, or wear.
- Apply a light coating of pool-safe silicone lubricant if needed.
- Do not use petroleum-based lubricants, as they can damage rubber O-rings.
- After installation, restart the system and confirm the cleaning head cycles and pops up correctly.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the O-ring whenever the cleaning head is removed for service.
- Replace the O-ring if it appears flattened, brittle, cracked, stretched, or damaged.
- Keep the floor fitting and cleaning head free of debris to help prevent sticking or poor rotation.
- Maintain proper filter pressure and clean the filter regularly to support in-floor system performance.
