Rendroz 3/4″ NPT Steel Bypass Valve Fits Fleck Heads, Replaces 60040SS

Description

Product Overview

The Rendroz 3/4 inch NPT steel bypass valve is a precision‑engineered component designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of Fleck control heads used in residential water softening systems. Constructed from high‑grade stainless steel, the valve offers superior corrosion resistance, long‑term durability, and a smooth operation that helps maintain consistent water flow. Its compact dimensions—just half an inch on each side—allow it to fit into tight spaces without the need for additional modifications or adapters. The valve’s 3/4 inch NPT threads match standard plumbing fittings, making installation straightforward for both professional installers and DIY enthusiasts. By directly replacing the original part number 60040SS, this bypass valve restores the functionality of aging or faulty units, preventing leaks, reducing water waste, and ensuring the softener operates at peak efficiency.

Usage

This bypass valve is ideal for homeowners, property managers, and service technicians who need a reliable replacement part for water softeners that employ Fleck control heads such as the 5600, 5600SXT, 5600SE, 4650, 2510, 5800, 6600, 6700, 9000, and 9100 models. It works equally well in new installations and retrofits, providing a quick solution to common issues like valve sticking, intermittent flow, or complete failure of the bypass function. Because the valve is made from stainless steel, it can withstand the high‑temperature and high‑pressure conditions typical of domestic water treatment systems. Whether you are upgrading an existing softener, repairing a leak, or installing a new filtration line, the valve’s universal compatibility and robust construction make it a dependable choice for maintaining soft water quality throughout the home.
