COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
Where This Flow Control Fits
The Fleck 61456-15 DLFC is designed for use with Fleck control valves including the 5600, 5600SXT, 7000, 9000, and 9100 series softener and filter control heads. It threads directly into the drain line port to regulate backwash and brine rinse discharge, preventing excessive flow that can cause drain line backup or flooding. This 15.0 GPM rating suits most residential softeners and systems with larger service flow requirements. Compatible with both upflow and downflow regeneration cycles.
💧 Match your DLFC flow rating to your control valve's drain flow specification — undersized flow controls extend regeneration time and can cause incomplete rinse cycles, while oversized units won't provide adequate flow restriction.
