{"product_id":"discontinued-4","title":"DISCONTINUED","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Fleck hex washer head screw is a discontinued component from Pentair, listed here for reference and identification. Hex washer head screws are commonly used throughout control valve assemblies, where the integrated washer face spreads the clamping load across a wider area and the hex head allows secure, tool-driven tightening. Recognizing and matching this fastener correctly helps ensure a clean, solid reassembly during service, since the right screw protects both the part it secures and the surface it bears against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout This Fastener\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFasteners like this one secure covers, brackets, and various components throughout a Fleck control valve, holding everything firmly in place through years of operation and many regeneration cycles. The hex washer head design provides a clean, broad bearing surface that distributes pressure evenly and a reliable hex grip for the driving tool, which together help keep assemblies tight even in the damp, vibration-prone environment of a working water-treatment valve. Using the correct fastener helps prevent gradual loosening and protects the surfaces and threads it engages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fleck\/Pentair fastener\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: hex washer head screw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscontinued part, retained for reference and identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed to secure valve covers, brackets, and components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWasher face spreads clamping load for a secure, even hold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsult current service kits for compatible replacements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your repair calls for this screw, first confirm your valve model, then check whether a current service kit now supplies the same fastener or a suitable, verified equivalent. Matching genuine or factory-equivalent hardware to your control valve helps ensure proper assembly and correct torque, which keeps your water-treatment system running reliably over the long term without rattles, leaks, or loose components. A knowledgeable parts supplier can often identify the current replacement for a discontinued fastener like this one using the valve model and part details. Keeping a few correctly sized fasteners on hand also speeds up routine inspections, since you can confidently replace any screw that shows thread wear or corrosion rather than reusing a marginal one and risking a loose cover or component. Sourcing genuine or factory-equivalent hardware also protects the resale value and serviceability of the equipment, since mismatched fasteners can complicate future repairs for the next technician.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668802232373,"sku":"FL13315","price":2.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/fl13315.jpg?v=1782533743","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/nl-eu\/products\/discontinued-4","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
