Hayward STAR-CLEAR PLUS FILTER HEAD W/DIRECTIONAL VENT

The Hayward Star-Clear Plus Filter Head with Directional Vent is a heavy-duty, reinforced thermoplastic lid engineered for the Star-Clear Plus series cartridge filters, such as the C751, C900, and C1200 models. This component serves as the primary pressure vessel cap, featuring a specialized mounting port for a directional manual air relief valve that allows operators to safely bleed trapped air and point the resulting water spray in a specific direction away from sensitive equipment. It is molded from Hayward’s proprietary glass-reinforced material, which is specifically treated for UV stability and resistance to aggressive pool chemicals to prevent cracking or warping under high-pressure conditions. The head includes a dedicated threaded port for a pressure gauge and is designed to be secured by a single, large locking knob, facilitating tool-free access to the internal filter cartridge. For shipping and maintenance planning, the estimated weight of the Hayward Star-Clear Plus Filter Head with Directional Vent is approximately 5.9 pounds in its retail packaging, while the actual weight of the molded head unit itself is roughly 4.8 pounds.
