Key Benefits

• Prevents leaks and water wastage by providing a tight, reliable seal

• Compatible with Fleck valve models requiring the 238, 16800 O-ring for easy replacement
• Made from durable, flexible materials that resist wear and chemical degradation

How It Works

The FL16800 Fleck O-Ring fits snugly inside the valve assembly of your water softener, creating a watertight seal between moving parts. This prevents water from leaking around the valve stem or other critical junctions, which could otherwise reduce system efficiency or cause damage.

As water flows through the valve during softening cycles, the O-ring maintains consistent pressure and prevents contaminants from bypassing the treatment process. Its flexible design ensures a perfect fit even under varying temperature and pressure conditions, supporting your water system’s reliable operation.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll immediately notice the elimination of leaks and improved valve function, ensuring your softener operates smoothly. In the first few days and weeks, the O-ring will settle into place, providing a consistent seal without the need for adjustments.

Over time, regular inspections will show that this replacement part maintains durability and performance, reducing the frequency of maintenance and prolonging the overall life of your water softening system.

What’s Inside
