| Compatible Valve | Fleck 5600 Series |
| Component Type | Skipper Wheel Assembly |
| Function | Timer mechanism control |
| Material | Injection-molded plastic |
| Manufacturer | Pentair / Fleck |
| Application | Water softener regeneration timing |
Replacement Procedure
- Unplug the control valve timer motor and remove the timer cover from your Fleck 5600 valve body to access the internal mechanism.
- Carefully remove the existing skipper wheel assembly by lifting it straight up from the timer shaft, noting the orientation of any alignment markers.
- Place the new Fleck 14381 skipper wheel onto the timer shaft, ensuring proper alignment with the drive gear and that it seats fully without binding.
- Reassemble the timer cover and restore power, then verify the wheel advances correctly by manually cycling the timer through one complete rotation.
System Requirements
This skipper wheel assembly is engineered specifically for Fleck 5600 mechanical timer control valves configured for 12-day regeneration intervals. It will not fit Fleck 5600SXT electronic models, nor is it compatible with 7-day or other cycle duration configurations. Verify your existing wheel markings show 12-day increments before ordering. The Fleck 14381 is a direct factory replacement and works with all Fleck 5600 valve generations that use the mechanical timer design.
