Hayward CLAMP SYSTEM-CLAMP,SEAL,HARDWARE,LABELS

The Hayward Clamp System is a comprehensive structural kit designed to maintain the pressure-vessel integrity of Hayward Pro-Grid and SwimClear filter tanks. This integrated assembly features a heavy-duty, two-piece metal clamp band precision-contoured to encircle the tank flanges, a high-density elastomeric tank seal or O-ring, and the necessary high-tensile stainless steel and brass hardware for secure fastening. The primary mechanical function of the system is to provide a uniform, 360-degree compression that locks the upper filter head to the lower body, ensuring the unit remains watertight and safe even under significant hydraulic surges. Additionally, the kit includes a set of weather-resistant adhesive labels that provide critical safety warnings, maximum pressure ratings, and operational instructions, which are vital for proper system maintenance. Engineered to resist corrosion from salt-water and pool chemicals, this system ensures the filter remains a stable, airtight environment for the internal media. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the complete Hayward Clamp System, including the metal band, seals, hardware, and labels, is approximately 6.8 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the combined components is roughly 5.9 pounds.
