The Pentair 198102 is the new cast-style band clamp assembly for Clean and Clear Plus, FNS Plus, and Quad D.E. filters, and it takes the place of the older 190003 spring-style band clamp. It clamps the two halves of your filter tank together and seals them against the tank o-ring - the same job as before, done better. The die-cast aluminum clamp closes with a single 3\/4-inch bronze nut, so there is no rubber mallet and no wrestling a spring clamp on and off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Is Better Than the Old Spring Clamp\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaces the older 190003 spring-style band clamp with a simpler, sturdier cast design.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnodized, powder-coated die-cast aluminum sections on rigid, corrosion-resistant hinges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCloses with one captive coarse-thread bolt and a single 3\/4-inch bronze nut - no mallet, no power tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaster, cleaner service every time you open the filter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFits Your Filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA replacement band clamp for Pentair Clean and Clear Plus, FNS Plus, and Quad D.E. filters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt clamps the same tank flanges, so it fits your existing Plus-series filter - it does not matter if yours is new or has been on the pad for years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld part number it replaces: 190003 (spring-style band clamp).
