American Plumbing Partsmaster 982575 Faucet Stem Indiana

Product Description

The American Plumbing Partsmaster 982575 is a packaged faucet stem designed as a right-hand replacement for Indiana brand faucets, compatible with both hot and cold supply lines. Faucet stems are the internal valve components that control water flow and temperature by engaging with the seat to open and close the water passage. This stem is a direct service replacement intended for repair or maintenance work and is packaged individually for single-unit service calls. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians are the primary installers for this type of component.

This stem is suited for residential faucet repair applications where Indiana faucet hardware is in service. Right-hand stems are used in specific valve positions and must be matched correctly to the faucet body to ensure proper sealing and operation. The packaging configuration supports single-unit replacement without the need to source a full repair kit, making it practical for routine service work on existing fixtures.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valve or main before disassembling the faucet body. Remove the existing stem carefully to avoid damaging the valve seat, and inspect the seat for wear before installing the replacement. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, when servicing faucet components.
