This retainer ensures proper mechanical operation of your valve's manual regeneration function, maintaining reliable control over your water softening system. SPECIFICATIONS Fleck 13173 DLFC Button Retainer Technical Details Part Number Fleck 13173 Component Name DLFC Button Retainer Compatible Valve Series Fleck 5600 Function Secures draw down/fast cycle button assembly Material Injection-molded polymer O-Ring Included No (sold separately) Category Control valve accessory and replacement part Installation Type Internal valve component replacement INSTALLATION & USE Replacing the DLFC Button Retainer Depressurize the system and isolate the Fleck 5600 valve from water supply before beginning work on the control valve. Remove the existing button assembly by carefully extracting the worn or damaged retainer from the valve body, noting the orientation and seating position. Insert the new Fleck 13173 retainer into the valve body, ensuring it seats properly to secure the button mechanism without binding. Install a new o-ring (not included with this retainer) before reassembling the button assembly to maintain proper seal and function. Test the manual regeneration button for smooth operation and verify the retainer holds the assembly securely without lateral movement. COMPATIBILITY System Compatibility This Fleck 13173 DLFC button retainer is engineered specifically for Fleck 5600 series control valves used in residential and light commercial water softening applications. The retainer works as part of the manual regeneration button assembly, which allows operators to initiate immediate regeneration cycles outside of the programmed schedule. When replacing this component, verify you are working with a Fleck 5600 valve and order the appropriate o-ring separately to complete the repair. This part is considered a standard replacement component for maintaining proper control valve operation over the lifespan of your water treatment system. 🔧 Pro tip: Always replace the o-ring when installing a new button retainer, even if the old one looks intact. A compromised seal will allow water intrusion into the valve mechanism and lead to premature failure of the button assembly.
