• Prevents wear between the ball and valve bore to maintain proper flow control
• Helps stop dripping, leaking, or inconsistent dispensing caused by a damaged sleeve
• Works as the mating surface for the ball to ensure smooth operation

What's included:

• One ball sleeve

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair
• Replace only with the correct part number to ensure proper fit and seal
• Inspect surrounding valve components and seals; replace if worn or damaged
• Test for leaks and proper operation after reassembly
