Hayward TIE ROD -C1750-

the Hayward Tie Rod for the C1750 series is a critical structural fastener designed specifically for the Star-Clear Plus cartridge filter system. This elongated, heavy-duty bolt is typically manufactured from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant stainless steel to ensure it can withstand the constant tension and damp, chemically active environment of a pool equipment pad. Its primary function is to provide the central mechanical link between the filter tank base and the filter head, allowing the locking knob to apply uniform downward pressure to secure the entire assembly together. This rod must remain perfectly straight and free of thread damage to ensure a consistent, watertight seal against the main tank O-ring, preventing the filter head from shifting under the internal hydraulic pressure generated by the pump. Because it bears the primary load of the pressurized vessel, its structural integrity is essential for the safe operation of the filtration system. For shipping and maintenance planning, the estimated weight of the Hayward C1750 Tie Rod is approximately 1.1 pounds in its protective packaging, while the actual weight of the metal rod itself is roughly 0.9 pounds.
