Quick overview

  • Genuine Caretaker part The factory 3-9-216 V-clamp band, supplied with its nut.
  • Stainless steel The band is stainless, so it stands up to wet pit conditions and chemical exposure.
  • Fits in-floor systems Listed for the valves used on Polaris Caretaker in-floor cleaners.
  • Nut included It comes with the nut that tightens it, not as a bare band.
  • Substitutes 3225-29 The part is also listed under the earlier number 3225-29.
  • Clamps the valve body A V-clamp is what draws the valve halves together, so a corroded or distorted band is worth replacing on sight.

Product details

This is the genuine Polaris Caretaker V-clamp, part number 3-9-216, supplied as a stainless steel band with its nut. It is used on the valve of Caretaker in-floor cleaning systems and is also listed under the substitute number 3225-29.

What it does

A V-clamp is the band that pulls two flanged halves together and holds them there. On an in-floor cleaner valve, that clamp is carrying the pressure of the whole system, so a band that has corroded, stretched or been overtightened is a leak waiting to happen. Stainless steel is the reason the original lasts as long as it does, and it is the reason to replace like for like.

When to replace it

If you have the valve apart for a rebuild, look at the band and the nut before it goes back together. Rust streaks, a nut that will not draw down evenly, or a band that no longer sits flat are all reasons to fit a new one while the assembly is open.
