Order under this number to ensure you receive the supported, current-spec component for your Fleck valve rather than an obsolete version that may no longer be available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen older Fleck part numbers are retired and rolled into a revised version, it is usually to improve durability, materials, or fit while maintaining backward compatibility with the original application. Cross-referencing the legacy number to the current one is the simplest way to keep an aging valve serviceable for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSourcing guidance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Pentair Fleck replacement component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrior version discontinued; current part number is FL40947-02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrder by the current number for the supported, in-production part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains compatibility with the original valve application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfirm fit against your specific valve model before installing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote any markings on the existing part to aid identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFleck valves are designed for long service lives, and part supersessions like this one are a routine and expected part of a platform's lifespan as the manufacturer refines components. If you are working from an old parts diagram or a legacy number stamped on a worn component, matching it to the current FL40947-02 ensures you get the correct, currently manufactured piece rather than chasing a number that has been retired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are unsure which valve generation you have, note your control valve model and any markings or part numbers on the existing component, and we can help confirm the right item before you order. Taking a moment to verify compatibility avoids the frustration of receiving a part that does not quite fit. As always, place the valve in bypass, relieve system pressure, and disconnect power before servicing, and inspect adjacent seals and wear parts while the valve is open so you can address them in the same visit. Keeping a note of the current part number alongside your equipment records will save time the next time service is needed, since you can order the right component directly without having to decode an obsolete legacy number.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668808785973,"sku":"FL40947-02","price":67.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/fl40947-02.jpg?v=1782534045","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/de-eu\/products\/discontinued-use-fl40947-02","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
