Hayward SX310N Heavy Duty Filter Clamp

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SX310N is a heavy duty filter clamp used to secure compatible Hayward sand filter tank sections. It holds the filter body joint tight so the tank stays sealed under normal operating pressure. This clamp is located at the filter seam on the equipment pad.

Why This Part Matters
A worn or damaged clamp can lead to leaks at the filter seam and unreliable sealing after service. If the clamp will not tighten evenly, the filter may seep water or become difficult to maintain safely. Replacing the clamp helps restore proper closure and reduces repeat leak complaints. It is commonly needed after corrosion, overtightening, or repeated openings for sand service.
