Sta-Rite C176-53P Tank Body
This is the C176-53P tank body for Sta-Rite Dyna-Glas/Dyna-Max Series in-ground pool and spa pumps. A cracked or corroded tank body is one of the few pump problems that cannot be fixed with a seal kit, since the housing itself is what holds pressure and keeps the internal parts aligned.
Because the tank body sets the alignment for the impeller and seal, a warped or cracked one can cause premature wear on both even if they are otherwise in good condition. Check the mounting bosses and port threads on the old part for damage in addition to obvious cracks before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to replace the seal and impeller when I replace this?
Not necessarily, but since the pump has to come fully apart to swap the tank body, it is a good opportunity to inspect both and replace them if they show wear.
Q: Will this fit a different horsepower pump in the same series?
Not always. Sta-Rite Dyna-Glas/Dyna-Max Series in-ground pool and spa pumps use different tank body castings across their horsepower range even when they look similar, so match the exact part number.
Q: Does this come with mounting hardware?
This listing is for the tank body itself. Reuse the original mounting bolts if they are in good condition, or order new ones separately if they are corroded or stripped.
Q: Can a cracked tank body be repaired with epoxy?
A pressure-holding part like this should be replaced rather than patched. An epoxy repair may hold briefly but is not reliable under the pressure and vibration of normal pump operation.
