Sta-Rite N176-43GB Pump Body
Sta-Rite lists the N176-43GB as the pump body. Replacing it is a full teardown job, so it is worth confirming the internal wear parts are also in good shape before closing the pump back up.
This part is usually only replaced after physical damage: a freeze crack, an impact, or stripped mounting threads. Confirm the exact model and horsepower stamped on the old pump, since Sta-Rite reuses similar-looking housings across several different pump sizes in the same family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit a different horsepower pump in the same series?
Match the exact part number on the old part rather than assuming pumps of similar size share the same housing.
Q: Does this come with mounting hardware?
This listing is for the pump 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 pump 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.
Q: How do I prevent this from cracking again?
Drain the pump before a hard freeze, or keep it in a heated space, and make sure the pump is not run dry, which stresses the housing along with the internal parts.
