Fleck (13017) Idler Gear
Fleck 5600 (13017) Idler Gear
Replacement idler gear for Fleck 5600 control valves. Maintains the timing mechanism that drives regeneration cycles in residential water softeners.
Critical Timing Component for Fleck 5600 Systems
The idler gear (part number 13017) is a mechanical timing component inside the Fleck 5600 control valve. It works with the drive gear to advance the valve through regeneration cycles. When this gear wears or breaks, the softener may fail to regenerate properly or become stuck mid-cycle. This is a common wear item in systems that have been in service for several years.
Fleck 5600 Control Valves
This idler gear is designed for all Fleck 5600 and 5600SXT control valve models. It fits both mechanical and electronic versions of the valve. The 13017 idler gear is part of the timer assembly and works in conjunction with the drive gear and cam assembly to control valve positioning during regeneration.
Signs of Idler Gear Failure
Valve Won't Advance
Control valve becomes stuck during regeneration cycle and fails to return to service position
Skipping Cycles
Timer motor runs but regeneration cycle does not complete or valve skips stages
Worn or Cracked Teeth
Inspect gear teeth for wear, cracks, or missing sections during valve disassembly
OEM Fleck Part
Genuine Pentair component engineered to exact specifications for the 5600 valve platform
Direct Replacement
Drops into existing timer assembly without modification or additional parts
Serviceable Design
Part of the user-serviceable timer mechanism, accessible with basic tools
