Replacement Flow‑rate Control Kit – Enforcer, Ninja & Sensei
Genuine Ashbys spare part. This Replacement Flow‑rate Control Kit is the correct assembly for the current flow‑rate control system used on the Ashbys Enforcer, Ashbys Ninja, and Ashbys Sensei carpet cleaning machines.
This kit replaces the current model flow‑rate control valve and includes the two essential mounting components required for correct installation:
-
Rectangular Earthing Plate — ensures proper grounding and safe operation.
-
Circular Stainless Steel Outer Support Washer — provides stable, secure support for the valve assembly.
Together, these parts restore the correct earthing, support and mounting needed for smooth, accurate flow‑rate control.
Compatibility & Important Notes
Current model only: Order this kit only if your existing valve looks the same as the current model shown. The older style with the black plastic dial will not fit.
If your machine has the original black dial type, you must order the Conversion Kit from Original to Current Flow‑rate Control System for Enforcer & Ninja, which includes the correct valve and all required parts.
Note for machines built pre‑June 2024: Some earlier Enforcer, Ninja and Sensei units were fitted with a slightly smaller flow‑rate valve that looks almost identical to the current model, and the factory‑cut hole in the casing is also smaller. If your machine is from this period, the opening may need to be enlarged to 20 mm so the current valve, earthing plate and stainless steel support washer fit correctly. This is a quick job using a step‑down drill bit (also known as a step drill bit).
Installation note: As with any component affecting water flow and electrical earthing, fitting should be carried out by a competent person familiar with professional carpet cleaning equipment.
Reliable performance: Manufactured to Ashbys’ professional standards, this kit ensures precise flow‑rate control, correct earthing and stable mounting — helping you maintain consistent cleaning results and extend the life of your equipment.
Easy installation: Suitable for technicians and experienced operators, the kit is straightforward to fit and restores smooth, accurate flow control in your machine.
