Key Benefits

• Ensures consistent valve operation for uninterrupted water softening
• Enhances system reliability by reducing valve wear and tear
• Facilitates easy installation and replacement, saving time and effort
• Compatible with Fleck 2850 and 9500 control valves for seamless integration
• Durable materials extend service life under typical water treatment conditions
• Helps maintain optimal water flow and regeneration cycles

How It Works

The FL16516 stuffer assembly is a critical internal component of Fleck control valves used in water softening systems. It functions as part of the valve's piston mechanism, controlling the flow of water during regeneration and service cycles. By precisely directing water through various valve ports, it helps the system efficiently remove hardness minerals and regenerate the resin bed.

This assembly replaces worn or damaged components within the valve, ensuring a tight seal and smooth piston movement. This prevents leaks and improper valve positioning, which could otherwise compromise water softener performance.

What to Expect

Once installed, you will notice improved valve responsiveness and quieter operation during regeneration cycles. In the first days and weeks, the assembly helps maintain consistent water softener function, reducing common issues such as erratic valve timing or water bypass.

Over time, the FL16516 stuffer assembly promotes long-term system reliability by minimizing mechanical wear within the control valve. Routine system maintenance remains straightforward, as this component is designed for durability and easy replacement without specialized tools.

What’s Inside

• Piston Stuffer Assembly – Provides the sealing and sliding interface necessary for valve operation
• Precision-Molded Seals – Ensure leak-free performance under pressure
• High-Quality Polymer Housing – Offers durability and resistance to water treatment chemicals
• Metal Components – Reinforce structural integrity for extended service life

How to Use

1. Turn off the water supply and depressurize the water softener system.
