It is listed for the American Products Titan CM and Titan RPM DE filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat a tie rod does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside a DE filter the grids and the manifold have to be held together as one rigid assembly. The tie rods are what clamp that stack, so the grids stay square and seated while water is being pushed through them. A rod that has corroded thin, bent, or seized at the nut stops doing that job properly, and the grid pack starts to move.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGetting the length right\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTie rod length follows filter square footage, so the 33-1\/2 inch rod belongs to the 60 square foot filter. Shorter rods are listed for the 48 and 36 square foot models. Check the square footage on your filter label before ordering, because a rod that is close but wrong will not clamp the assembly correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633994739924,"sku":"AMP-051-1187","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_1aa2b0fe-cd57-4385-9c85-215c162522b7.png?v=1788823535","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/tie-rod-1-4x33-1-2-60-sqft","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
