Pentair – UltraFlow Plus-Spannrad für Klemme RC1937A – RWC3622

Pentair UltraFlow Plus tightening wheel for clamp RC1937A

This is the genuine Pentair Sta-Rite tightening wheel (knob) that operates the V-clamp assembly RC1937A on the UltraFlow Plus pool pump. It threads onto the clamp’s T-bolt and, when rotated, draws the clamp band tight around the pump body flange to lock the volute securely to the motor bracket. Without a functional tightening wheel, the clamp cannot be properly tensioned or released for servicing.

What this tightening wheel does in the UltraFlow Plus

The tightening wheel gives you a firm grip to tension or release the RC1937A V-clamp that seals the pump body against the motor assembly on the drive side. You turn it by hand to begin tensioning, then use a wrench on the underlying nut to achieve full clamping force. A stripped, cracked, or seized wheel makes controlled clamp adjustment impossible and forces you to use grips directly on the nut, risking damage to the clamp assembly.

Für welche UltraFlow Plus-Modelle ist es geeignet?

This tightening wheel is a direct replacement for the RC1937A clamp fitted across the Pentair Sta-Rite UltraFlow Plus pump family. Confirm the clamp reference on your existing pump body before ordering, as other Pentair pump ranges use different clamp assemblies with distinct wheel geometries.

Anzeichen dafür, dass es ausgetauscht werden muss

Replace the tightening wheel immediately if you notice the plastic has cracked or the internal thread is stripped — both symptoms mean the clamp can no longer be reliably tensioned. A wheel that spins freely without drawing the clamp tighter is equally critical: it indicates thread failure and will leave the pump body insecure under pressure. Discolouration, UV-induced brittleness, or a wheel that snaps off mid-service are further triggers for replacement.

So installieren Sie es

Shut the pump down and isolate power before touching the clamp. Release any system pressure, then unscrew the failed wheel anti-clockwise from the T-bolt. Thread the new wheel on clockwise by hand until snug, then continue tensioning with a 7/8-inch socket wrench until fully seated. Tap around the clamp circumference with a rubber mallet after tensioning to ensure uniform seating before restarting the pump.
