Clack WS1 1" Straight Drain Fitting Without Silencer (V3008-04)

The Clack V3008-04 is a direct replacement straight drain line fitting designed specifically for the Clack WS1 series of control valves.

This specific assembly is built without an internal silencer. While silenced fittings are common in residential settings to reduce backwash noise, the unsilenced V3008-04 is highly recommended for applications dealing with heavy iron, manganese, or high sediment. Removing the internal silencer cone eliminates a common physical choke point, preventing debris buildup and reducing the risk of a blocked drain line during regeneration.

Key Specifications

Part Number: V3008-04
Valve Compatibility: Direct fit for all standard Clack WS1 (1-inch) water softener and filter control valves.
Connection Size: 1-inch straight male thread for high-capacity drain line runs.
Flow Profile: Unrestricted, unsilenced design maximizes backwash flow capacity and prevents fouling.
Material: Constructed from high-impact, UV-stabilized composite plastic for long-term corrosion resistance against brine and harsh water conditions.
Includes: Main fitting body, retaining clip, and required O-ring for a watertight seal.

Application Advice

This part is ideal for commercial applications, heavy-duty iron filters (like Birm or Pyrolox Light builds), or any installation where a larger 1-inch drain line is required to accommodate higher backwash flow rates without restriction. If the installation is in a noise-sensitive residential area, ensure the drain line is securely anchored, as unsilenced high-flow backwashes can cause pipe vibration.
