American Plumbing Partsmaster 982634 Faucet Stem Lh Cold

Product Description

The AMERICAN PLUMBING PARTSMASTER 982634 is a left-hand cold faucet stem designed as a direct replacement for compatible Eljer faucet assemblies. Faucet stems control water flow and temperature by threading in and out of the valve body seat. This stem is configured for the cold-side position on left-hand valve installations. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install replacement stems to restore full shutoff function and eliminate dripping caused by worn or cracked stem components.

This stem is suited for residential plumbing repair applications where the original Eljer cold-side faucet stem has worn, stripped, or begun to leak past the seat. It is packaged individually for single-valve service calls and replacement jobs. Install scenarios typically include bathroom and kitchen faucet repair where the cold-side valve no longer holds pressure or fails to seat properly.

Key Features

• Left-hand cold-side configuration for correct valve body fitment
• OEM-style replacement geometry for drop-in serviceability
• Packaged individually for single-repair service use
• Designed to restore proper shutoff and eliminate drip at the cold-side seat

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement stem for Eljer cold-side left-hand faucet valve assemblies. Verify stem geometry, thread pitch, and body length against the original part before installation.

Installation Notes

Stem replacement should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson familiar with compression and cartridge valve service. Shut off the water supply at the fixture isolation valve or main before removing the existing stem. Use the correct seat wrench or stem puller to avoid damage to the valve body threads. Inspect the valve seat for scoring or damage and dress or replace the seat as needed before installing the new stem.
