allow you to insert the DLFC/barbed drain fitting
as seen in Figure 11-B
3) Insert the DLFC/Barbed fitting as seen in Figure
11-C.
Be sure that the fitting is fully inserted
into the drain port by clicking it into place
4) Reinsert the drain fitting pin to lock the DLFC/
barbed drain fitting into the Fleck 5800 SXT con-
trol valve as seen in Figure 11-D
5) Next, assemble your ½” I.D. drain line to the drain
barb as shown in Figure 11-E.
Be sure to use rigid
wall ½” I.D. tubing that will not flatten.
Wrap
electrical tape over the drain tubing to prevent a tube
split and clamp the tubing securely into place with the
included blue clamp as shown in Figure 11-F
6) Connect the other end of this drain line tubing se-
curely to a standpipe or drain in accordance with all
local plumbing codes.
Be sure that the drain line
is securely in place before putting your softener
in service. During regeneration, there will be
increased flow via this tubing which may cause
the tubing to become loose
