Hayward FILTER HEAD W/CLAMP SYSTEM

The Hayward Filter Head with Clamp System is a robust structural assembly designed to serve as the pressurized lid for high-capacity pool filtration tanks, ensuring the internal components remain protected and sealed. Manufactured from a heavy-duty, glass-reinforced copolymer that is UV-stabilized, the head is engineered to withstand high hydraulic pressure and environmental stress without warping or losing its shape. The integrated clamp system consists of a two-piece metal band that wraps around the tank flanges and is secured by high-tensile hardware to provide a uniform, 360-degree compression seal. Its primary mechanical function is to provide a safe, airtight enclosure that houses the manual air relief valve and pressure gauge while securing the internal cartridge or grid manifold in place. This design is critical for preventing the filter head from dislodging during pump startup and ensuring that the tank remains a closed-loop system for efficient water clarification. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Filter Head with Clamp System is approximately 14.8 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the head and metal hardware is roughly 12.6 pounds.
