1600 Complete Blfc Assemblies - Brass

The 1600 Complete BLFC Assemblies – Brass are precision-fabricated devices that govern the brine refill rate during the regeneration cycles of water softening installations. By guaranteeing the precise dilution of brine, they enhance the operational efficiency and reliability of the entire softening system. The assemblies are fabricated from high-grade brass, imparting exceptional resistance to corrosive agents and ensuring extended service life in both residential and commercial settings.

Each assembly incorporates a calibrated flow washer, a brass housing, and all requisite fittings, enabling trouble-free integration into the brine piping. Engineered specifically for use with Fleck brine control valves, the assemblies are pre-calibrated to specific flow rates, thus facilitating uniform brine tank replenishment with a known volume.

These BLFC assemblies are compatible with the following Fleck control valve models

For Fleck valves in the 5000, 5600, 5800, 9000 and 9100 series:

•  60022-12 (.125 GPM)
•  60022-25 (.25 GPM)
•  60022-50 (.50 GPM)

For Fleck valves in the 2510, 2750, 2850, 2900 and 9500 series:

•  60020-25 (.25 GPM)
•  60020-50 (.50 GPM)
•  60020-100 (1.0 GPM)

These specific assemblies facilitate a leak-tight connection and dependable operation in a diverse array of system architectures.

Flow Rate Options and Use Cases

BLFC assemblies are available in a selection of four calibrated flow rates:  

• 0.125 GPM—optimal for compact residential units where the resin cylinder warrants a limited volume.  
• 0.25 GPM—predominantly adopted in conventional residential designs.  
• 0.50 GPM—recommended for medium-scale units where expedited brine refill timing is a project imperative.  

1.0 GPM—tailored for larger installations that must satisfy accelerated regeneration cycles.  

Choice of an appropriate calibrated flow rate enhances brine production control, limits unintended overfilling, and harmonizes resin contact time with regeneration chemistry, thereby sustaining peak softening performance while lengthening service intervals and minimizing salt consumption.   

Construction and Performance Benefits

Fabrication in premium lead-free brass delivers both structural integrity and chemical resilience:  

The lead-free brass alloy exhibits superior resistance to the corrosive action of sodium chloride.  
Precision-engineered internal pathways accommodate the calibrated flow with a design margin that minimizes mechanical fatigue.  
An integrated flow washer serves both measurement and security functions, ensuring that the assembly reacts only to the intended flow regime.  
Unified pre-bored threads and controlled manufacturing tolerances permit mounting that is both swift and vibration-resistant.  

The entire assembly sustains hydraulic efficiency and forestalls phenomena associated with salt bridging, hydraulic shock, or incomplete regeneration dynamics.  

Installation and Compatibility

The assembly is compatible with typical configurations and may be substituted in minutes:  

Remove the prior flow-control fitting using a standard wrench, thread the new assembly into the injector housing, and tighten.  
The included hose barb seamlessly affixes to the brine line with a swivel clamp, guaranteeing a hermetic seal under the continuous differential pressure encountered in service.

Each assembly is precisely calibrated to match designated valve bodies, guaranteeing correct orientation and accurate flow characterization. Routine maintenance encompasses regular visual checks and, depending on operational intensity and influent water quality, sporadic flow washer substitution.
