American Plumbing Partsmaster 982680 Glauber Stem

Product Description

The AMERICAN PLUMBING PARTSMASTER 982680 is a right-hand Glauber stem replacement designed for hot and cold faucet valve applications. Glauber stems are compression-style faucet internals used to control water flow and temperature shutoff within standard valve bodies. This stem is packaged for single-unit distribution and is installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians performing faucet valve repairs. It is a direct replacement component suited for restoring proper function to worn or damaged valve assemblies in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This stem is applicable to hot and cold supply valve configurations using Glauber-pattern stems. The right-hand designation refers to the thread direction, which is critical for correct fitment and seating within the valve body. Typical installation scenarios include faucet rebuilds, drip repairs, and valve seat service in sink, lavatory, or tub applications where the original Glauber stem has worn beyond serviceable limits.

Key Features

• Right-hand thread orientation for correct valve body engagement
• Compatible with both hot and cold supply positions
• Glauber stem profile for direct OEM-style replacement
• Packaged individually for single-unit service calls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement stem for faucet valve assemblies requiring a Glauber-pattern right-hand stem in hot or cold configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valve or main before beginning disassembly. Use appropriate stem and packing wrenches to avoid damage to the valve body. Verify thread direction and stem length before seating to ensure a proper seal and avoid cross-threading.
