Pentair / Sta-Rite 5" Strainer Trap (Trap Assembly) with Basket | PKG115
The Pentair/Sta-Rite PKG115 is a 5" strainer trap (trap assembly) used on select Sta-Rite pump models. It replaces the pump’s suction strainer pot/trap section and includes the strainer basket, helping protect the impeller by capturing leaves and larger debris before water enters the pump.
Compatibility
- Sta-Rite Dura-Glas inground pool & spa pumps (5" trap style)
- Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas inground pool & spa pumps (5" trap style)
- Sta-Rite JWPA Series (where the parts list specifies PKG115 / 5059J trap assembly)
- Tip: Match your existing trap size (5") and pump model/series before ordering.
Key Features
- Complete 5" trap assembly replacement for compatible pump strainer sections.
- Includes strainer basket to catch leaves and debris before the pump.
- Restores proper sealing when the original trap is cracked, warped, or leaking.
- Helps maintain prime and flow by eliminating suction-side air leaks caused by damaged trap housings.

Common Reasons to Replace
- Cracked trap housing or lid causing water leaks
- Air being pulled into the pump (loss of prime, bubbles in pump basket)
- Warped sealing surfaces that won’t hold an O-ring seal
- Basket no longer seats correctly or trap components are damaged from freeze/impact
Installation Notes
- Turn off power to the pump at the breaker before servicing.
- Relieve system pressure and drain water from the pump/trap as needed.
- Inspect suction plumbing alignment—stress on fittings can contribute to cracks and leaks.
- When reassembling, clean sealing surfaces and lightly lubricate O-rings with silicone lube.
- After restart, verify the pump primes normally and check for drips/air leaks around the lid and ports.

Maintenance Tips
- Keep the basket clean—restricted flow can raise pump load and reduce circulation.
- Clean and lightly lubricate the lid O-ring periodically to prevent sticking and air leaks.
- Never run the pump with the basket missing; debris can damage the impeller and diffuser.
- In freeze-prone areas, winterize properly to prevent trap housings and plugs from cracking.
