Product details

The Jandy R0554800 is the tie rod for the DEV 48 DE filter, supplied complete with its knob and lock nuts. The tie rod is the piece of hardware that draws the clamp band tight around the split between the two halves of the filter tank.

Why it fails

This is one of the harder working parts on a DE filter and one of the least considered. It is threaded steel hardware in a permanently wet, chemically loaded environment, and it takes real tension every time the tank is opened for a cleaning and closed again. Threads corrode, the knob seizes onto the rod, and a rod that has been cranked down too hard can bow. Once it will not draw down evenly, the band cannot pull the tank halves together and the filter starts weeping at the seam.

Fitting

Because the knob and lock nuts are included, there is nothing to reuse from the old assembly. Seat the tank o-ring properly first, close the band evenly all the way round, then draw the knob down by hand. Even, moderate tension is what seals the tank; force is what bends the next rod.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What comes in the package?
The tie rod together with its knob and lock nuts.
Which filter does it fit?
It is listed as the tie rod for the Jandy DEV 48, within the DEV series DE filter parts group covering the DEV48 and DEV60.
Why would the tie rod need replacing?
Tie rods live in a wet, chemical environment and take load every time the tank is clamped. Threads corrode, knobs seize onto them, and a rod that has been overtightened can bow. Any of those stops the clamp band pulling the tank halves together evenly.
My filter is leaking at the band. Is this the fix?
It can be. Check whether the rod draws down smoothly and the band closes evenly all the way around. If the rod is seized, corroded or bent, replace it. If it draws down fine, look at the tank o-ring instead.
