This elastomer seal fits a specific internal joint within a Fleck control valve, compressing between mating surfaces to create a watertight barrier that prevents leaks and internal bypass under operating pressure. The standardized -224 dash size identifies its exact dimensions, ensuring a precise, repeatable fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis individual O-ring has been discontinued but remains available in several service kits, including FL61956-01, FL61956-02, and FL61956-03. Those kits group the -224 seal with the other O-rings and parts commonly refreshed together during a valve rebuild, which is the recommended way to source it since seals are best replaced as a complete set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fleck -224 size O-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeals an internal control-valve joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents leaks and internal bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in kits FL61956-01, -02, and -03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotable-water-rated elastomer, exact-fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandardized dash size for an accurate fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eO-rings are small and inexpensive, but they are central to a control valve's leak-free operation and proper sealing between stages. With age and use, the elastomer hardens, takes a compression set, or develops cracks as exposure to water, pressure, and any chlorine in the supply gradually breaks it down. A worn seal is one of the most common causes of weeping leaks and erratic valve behavior, and it can be easy to overlook as the root cause when chasing a drip or a performance issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -224 dash size designation specifies the exact dimensions needed for a correct fit, so the seal seats properly without guesswork or improvisation. Many technicians replace the full O-ring complement whenever a valve is open, returning the system to dependable, leak-free service and avoiding a follow-up call over a single tired ring. Sourcing the -224 through one of the FL61956 kits provides a fresh, matched set of seals for a thorough rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor installers, sourcing the -224 through one of the FL61956 kits is the practical route now that the loose part is discontinued, and it conveniently supplies a fresh, matched set of seals for a complete rebuild. Renewing all the O-rings at once while the valve is open is sound practice that prevents a sequence of separate leak callbacks, returning the system to dependable, leak-free service with a single thorough job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668806098997,"sku":"FL17224","price":9.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/fl17224.jpg?v=1782533939","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/th-as\/products\/discontinued-see-extended-desc-25","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
