Where This Component Works

The Fleck 18818 upper basket fits most residential Fleck control valves using 13/16" riser tubes, including 5600, 5600SXT, 7000, and 9000 series softener and filter valve heads. This component sits at the top of the riser tube inside the valve body and prevents resin beads, carbon media, or other filter materials from escaping the tank during backwash or service cycles. The twist-lock design allows for quick replacement during routine maintenance without disassembling the entire valve. Compatible with standard Fleck distributor assemblies in both softening and filtration applications.

💧 When replacing the upper basket, inspect the riser tube for cracks or wear at the connection point. A damaged riser can allow media bypass even with a new basket installed.
