Fleck (13001) Piston Rod Assembly
Fleck 5600 Piston Rod Assembly (13001)
Factory-grade replacement piston rod for Fleck 5600 control valves. Ensures reliable seal engagement and proper regeneration cycles in residential and commercial water softeners.
Precision Movement Where It Matters
Direct Seal Control
The piston rod transmits rotary motion from the timer cam to the piston assembly, controlling seal movement during service and regeneration cycles.
OEM Fleck Design
Genuine Fleck component built to exact factory tolerances. Ensures proper fit with the drive gear and piston assembly for leak-free operation.
Wear Point Replacement
The piston rod is a common wear component in high-cycle applications. Replacing it restores smooth valve operation and prevents premature seal failure.
Service Accessibility
Designed for straightforward replacement during routine valve maintenance. Compatible with standard Fleck service kits and rebuild procedures.
Fleck 5600 Control Valves
This piston rod assembly (part number 13001) is compatible with all Fleck 5600 series control valves, including 5600 SXT, 5600 Econominder, and mechanical timer models. Verify your valve model before ordering. Not compatible with Fleck 2510, 7000, or 9000 series valves, which use different rod assemblies.
When to Replace
Valve Doesn't Complete Regeneration
If the valve motor runs but the piston doesn't move through all positions, the piston rod may be worn or damaged. Inspect for cracks or stripped threads.
Water Leaking During Cycles
Worn rod threads or damaged rod ends can prevent proper piston seal engagement, causing internal bypass and external leaks at the valve body.
High-Cycle Applications
In commercial or high-hardness residential systems with frequent regeneration, consider replacing the piston rod assembly during routine valve rebuilds.
Genuine Fleck OEM
Factory part, not aftermarket. Same component used in new valve assembly.
Direct Replacement
Fits all Fleck 5600 control valves without modification or additional hardware.
Restores Performance
Returns valve operation to factory specifications for reliable softener cycles.
