Hayward RETAINER CLIP EC30/40/50 PAK 2

The Hayward Retainer Clip for the Perflex EC30, EC40, and EC50 series is a specialized fastening component designed to secure the tube sheet assembly within the extended-cycle D.E. filter. Manufactured from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, these clips are engineered to provide a constant tension grip that locks internal parts in place against the mechanical stresses of the filter's bumping action. Their primary function is to prevent the tube sheet or associated hardware from shifting during the manual regeneration process, ensuring that the filter fingers remain properly seated to maintain a watertight seal and prevent D.E. powder from leaking into the pool. These clips are designed to withstand constant submersion in chemically treated water and the abrasive environment created by diatomaceous earth without losing their spring tension. Sold in a pack of two, these clips allow for a balanced distribution of pressure across the assembly, contributing to the overall structural integrity of the internal filtration grid. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the Hayward Retainer Clip Pack of 2 is approximately 0.12 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the two steel clips together is roughly 0.08 pounds.
