The FL12638 Fleck O-Ring is designed specifically for Fleck valve parts, offering a reliable and durable solution to common sealing challenges. This quality o-ring helps keep your system running efficiently by providing a tight fit within your water treatment setup.

Key Benefits

• Prevents leaks by providing a secure, tight seal inside Fleck valve assemblies
• Enhances system efficiency by maintaining proper pressure and flow regulation
• Durable material resists wear and degradation for long-lasting performance
• Easy to install, reducing maintenance time and system downtime
• Compatible with a wide range of Fleck valve models for versatile use
• Lightweight design minimizes added stress on valve components

How It Works

The FL12638 Fleck O-Ring acts as a critical sealing component within your Fleck water softener valve. It fits snugly into the valve assembly, creating a barrier that prevents water from leaking at connection points. By maintaining a consistent seal under pressure, it helps regulate water flow through the system, ensuring efficient softening and regeneration cycles.

Its elasticity allows the o-ring to adapt to minor imperfections or movements within the valve, preserving its sealing function over time. This small yet essential part plays a key role in avoiding costly water damage and maintaining system reliability.

What to Expect

After installing the FL12638 Fleck O-Ring, you will immediately notice a secure, leak-free connection within your water softener valve. Initial system operation should run smoothly, with no signs of water seepage or pressure drops.

Over the first few weeks, the o-ring will settle into place, maintaining its tight seal even through temperature fluctuations and regular valve cycling. With proper installation, it offers consistent performance and reduces the need for frequent replacements or repairs, supporting long-term system uptime.
