As a vital Fleck valve part, this seal offers a durable, efficient solution that keeps your water treatment system operating smoothly and reliably.

Key Benefits

• Ensures leak-proof sealing to protect against water loss and pressure drops
• Enhances the longevity of your Fleck valve by reducing wear and tear
• Maintains consistent water softener operation for cleaner, softer water
• Easy to install, minimizing downtime during maintenance or repairs
• Durable material construction designed to withstand repeated cycles and water exposure
• Cost-effective replacement part that supports overall system efficiency

How It Works

The FL13242 Fleck Seal acts as a critical barrier within the Fleck valve assembly, creating a tight seal that prevents water from leaking past the valve components. This seal ensures that water flows only through intended channels during the softening process, maintaining system pressure and preventing contamination or loss.

Installed inside the valve, the seal compresses against adjoining parts, adapting to pressure fluctuations and mechanical movements. This functionality is essential for maintaining the smooth operation of water softeners, especially in systems that undergo frequent regeneration cycles.

What to Expect

After installing the FL13242 Fleck Seal, you’ll immediately notice improved valve integrity with no leaks or drips. During the first few days and weeks, the seal will settle into place, ensuring a consistent and reliable water flow through your softener.

Over the long term, the seal’s durable design means fewer maintenance interventions and reduced risk of valve failure. Regular inspections combined with this high-quality replacement part can extend the lifespan of your water softener valve, helping you avoid costly repairs or replacements.
