Description

The Sta-Rite 24850-0200 is the clamp assembly for System 3 filters. It holds the two halves of the filter body together against operating pressure.

What it fits

Sta-Rite lists this clamp for the System 3 S7S50 and S8S70 sand filters, and for the S7M120, S8M150, S7M400 and S8M500 cartridge filters.

Why it is a safety part

A filter runs under pressure, and the clamp is the only thing holding the tank closed. Rust, a band that has been overtightened and stretched, or hardware that has lost its thread all reduce the grip. A clamp in that condition should be replaced rather than cranked down harder. Since the tank has to come apart to fit it, replace the tank o-ring at the same time.
