COMPATIBILITY
System Requirements
The Clack D7147 Top Distributor Deflector is designed specifically for Clack valve systems utilizing 1.05" distributor assemblies. This component is commonly found in WS1, WS1.25, and V3000 series control valves. Verify your existing deflector diameter before ordering to ensure proper fit within your specific valve model and distributor tube configuration.
🔧 When replacing the deflector, inspect the entire distributor tube for resin beads or debris that may indicate channeling or a cracked basket—addressing these issues during deflector replacement prevents future service calls.
