This high-quality Fleck valve replacement part offers an efficient sealing solution that helps protect your system from costly damage and downtime.

Key Benefits

• Prevents leaks by providing a tight, secure seal within your Fleck valve assembly
• Enhances system reliability by maintaining consistent water flow and pressure
• Made from durable materials designed to withstand frequent use and water exposure
• Easy to install, minimizing downtime during routine maintenance or repairs

How It Works

The FL13577 Fleck O-Ring functions as a critical sealing component inside your water softener's valve assembly. It fits snugly between valve parts, preventing water from leaking at connection points. This seal keeps the system pressurized and directs water flow correctly through the softening process.

By maintaining a leak-free interface, the O-ring helps your water softener operate efficiently, ensuring softened water is delivered consistently. Its resilience to wear and water exposure means it effectively supports the valve's function over time without frequent replacement.

What to Expect

Immediately after installation, you’ll notice a secure, leak-free connection within your Fleck valve assembly. This prevents water loss and maintains system pressure, resulting in smoother operation. During the first few weeks, the O-ring will settle into place, optimizing the seal as the system cycles through regeneration phases.

Over the longer term, expect reliable performance with minimal maintenance. The durable materials resist degradation caused by water, pressure changes, and routine wear, reducing the likelihood of leaks and the need for frequent replacements.

What’s Inside

How to Use

1. Turn off the water supply to your softener system and relieve any pressure by running a faucet.
2. Remove the valve cover or disassemble the valve where the O-ring is located, following your softener's manual.
3. Carefully remove the old or damaged O-ring, noting its placement and orientation.
4. Clean the seating groove to remove debris or residue that could affect the new seal.
5. Install the FL13577 Fleck O-Ring by gently stretching it over the valve part, ensuring it sits evenly without twists.
