How It Works

This Fleck screw functions as a critical fastening component within Fleck valve systems, securing parts like the valve cover or control head to the main assembly. Its precise threading and hex washer design help maintain a firm seal under varying water pressures, preventing leaks that could compromise water treatment performance.

Made from stainless steel, the screw withstands the moist environment inside water softeners, ensuring it won’t degrade or corrode over time. This contributes to maintaining the integrity of your softener’s control mechanisms and helps your system run smoothly.

What to Expect

After installing the FL12473 screw, you’ll immediately notice a secure fit that holds valve components tightly in place. In the first days and weeks, this reduces any risk of loose parts or water seepage around the valve assembly. Over the longer term, the stainless steel construction offers resistance to rust and wear, minimizing maintenance needs and extending the life of your water softener’s control valve.

Regular inspections can ensure the screw remains firmly fastened and your system continues operating efficiently without interruptions.
