I am trying to replace my filter clamp for hayward DE3620 filter but I am having a hard time finding the right clamp replacement for the filter.
It seems that Hayward discontinued the old clamp model that came with the filter. According to the diagram from this website, Hayward Vertical Grid D.E. Filter | DE3620 | eReplacementParts.com, the Hayward Dex2421 would be the clamp part I need. So i got one from amazon, Amazon.com: Hayward DEX2421JKIT Cartridge Filter Clamp and Seal Kit: Garden & Outdoor and the size looks identical to the old one. But i struggled to put it on, the gap between two ends of the clamp is just too big for me to put on the nut and the bolt.
Does anyone know if i am using the right replacement part? I am in desperate need of a new clamp as the old clamp doesn't look like it is gonna long. Thanks in advance.
