It is the clamp that holds the valve onto the top of the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe multi-port valve does not thread into the tank. It sits on top and is held there by a split nut that pulls it down evenly against the seal. Everything about how the valve behaves under pressure depends on that clamp being intact and pulling square.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy they get replaced\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSplit nuts are plastic and they are the first thing someone over tightens when a valve starts to seep. Once the nut is cracked or has stripped, no amount of turning will bring the valve down evenly, and the leak comes back every time. A fresh assembly restores the clamping load the seal was designed around.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waterway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48627837763796,"sku":"WWP-051-0011","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_16bbd520-0435-40fb-b81e-04eaa8b6fcaa.jpg?v=1788728058","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/split-nut-assembly-carefree-clearwater-twm-sand-filters","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
