Common Questions:

How do I know if my Bunn brewer needs a new flow washer?
If you notice inconsistent pot levels, spray head dripping after a cycle, or a change in brew strength, the .175 flow control washer may be worn or clogged with scale. Commercial technicians recommend inspecting these washers during every quarterly descaling procedure.

Is this part compatible with non-Bunn beverage systems?
While specifically designed as a Bunn 20526.1175 replacement, this washer fits standard flow control housings requiring a .175 orifice. Always verify your equipment's specific GPM requirements before installation to avoid overflow.

Does the color of the washer matter for identification?
Yes, in many Bunn systems, the black flow washer signifies the specific 0.175 GPM rating. Using a washer with a different color/rating (such as 0.222 GPM) will alter the timing and volume of your brew cycle.
