- Insert the new Fleck 17814 flow washer into the DLFC port, ensuring it seats completely and evenly within the housing.
- Reconnect drain line and restore power, then initiate a regeneration cycle to verify proper flow rate and confirm no leaks at the drain connection.
System Requirements
The Fleck 17814 flow washer is designed for use in Fleck control valves equipped with drain line flow control (DLFC) functionality.
