Pentair SHURflo 94-238-00 Upper Housing Bypass Repair Kit for 2088 Series Pumps
Manufacturer: Pentair / SHURflo
Part Number: 94-238-00
Also Described As: Upper Housing Assembly Kit, Bypass Housing, Outer Housing, Pump Housing Repair Kit
Application: Select SHURflo 2088 Series Diaphragm Pumps
The Pentair SHURflo 94-238-00 is a replacement upper pump housing assembly used on select SHURflo 2088-series diaphragm pumps equipped with a bypass-style or non-pressure-switch pump head.
This repair component allows the upper housing portion of a compatible pump to be replaced without purchasing an entire pump assembly. It is an excellent repair option when the existing housing is cracked, damaged, leaking, or otherwise no longer serviceable while the pump motor and other internal components remain usable.

Important: SHURflo produced many different versions of the 2088 pump using different valves, diaphragms, pressure switches, bypass arrangements, voltages, and chemical-compatible materials. Do not purchase by appearance alone. Verify the complete model number printed on your existing pump before ordering.
What Does the Upper Housing Do?
The upper housing forms the fluid-handling portion at the front of the SHURflo diaphragm pump. Depending on the pump configuration, this area incorporates the discharge and inlet passages and works together with the valve assembly, diaphragm assembly, and bypass components.
Damage to this housing can result in water or chemical leakage even when the electric motor and diaphragm drive mechanism are still operating correctly. Replacing the housing can therefore be considerably less expensive than replacing the entire pump.
Bypass Pump Information
SHURflo bypass-style pumps are designed to allow some fluid to recirculate internally when flow at the discharge side is reduced. Unlike a conventional pressure-switch-only pump, a bypass configuration may continue operating while fluid demand is reduced.
The exact operating characteristics depend on the complete SHURflo pump model. Replacement part 94-238-00 should therefore only be used on pump models for which this housing is specified.
Related SHURflo 2088 Repair Parts
Depending on your exact pump model and condition, additional pump-head components may include:
- 94-238-03 — Diaphragm / Drive Kit
- 94-237-00 — Check Valve Kit on applicable models
- 94-232 Series — Valve Assembly Kits; material and exact part number vary by pump model
Valve material is especially important when pumps are used with cleaning chemicals, agricultural chemicals, sealers, acids, solvents, or other specialty fluids. Always match replacement valve and diaphragm materials to the original pump specification and chemical being transferred.
Before Ordering
Locate the complete model number on the label of your existing SHURflo pump. A model number such as 2088-514-500 contains important information that determines which replacement components are correct.
If your pump uses a pressure switch mounted on the front of the pump head, do not assume this non-switched/bypass housing is interchangeable. Compare the original pump model and replacement-parts breakdown before ordering.
Typical Applications
- Agricultural spraying equipment

Installation Notes
Disconnect electrical power and relieve all fluid pressure before servicing the pump. Inspect the diaphragm, valves, check valve, seals, and mating surfaces while the pump head is disassembled. Components showing chemical deterioration, cracking, swelling, or excessive wear should be replaced before the pump is returned to service.
After repair, prime the pump and inspect all connections and housing joints for leakage before placing the equipment back into normal operation.
