My parents' pond has a UVC clarifier which contains a 4 pin 36w 410mm UVC Pll lamp.
When I took the old lamp out it had a small u shaped plastic clip which went through the middle of the two tubes and hooked into the metal clamps in the lampholder. It appeared to lock the lamp into the holder. Problem is, the level of UV light inside the thing has caused the plastic clip to become brittle and snap, so it no longer fits how it should.
Is this clip necessary? Are replacements available?
The unit also has a neat little cup which fits over the end of the tube and holds the tube central inside the quartz sleeve. This too has become brittle, but I can find a replacement for this online.
