The Val-Pak generic American Products Titan CM tie rod is designed for compatible 48 square foot filter applications and measures 27-1/2 inches in length. Tie rods are useful because they contribute directly to how securely the assembly is held together, especially in filter systems where consistent structural tension matters.This replacement is especially useful when the original tie rod is bent, corroded, or no longer suitable for reuse after service. In structural filter hardware, the right-length replacement helps the rebuilt unit feel properly tensioned and far less improvised.The V38-108 is a practical service part when a compatible Titan CM rebuild needs its structural hardware restored with the same care as the larger components.
