American Plumbing Partsmaster DD25513 Brass Faucet Stem

Product Description

The AMERICAN PLUMBING PARTSMASTER DD25513 is a brass faucet stem designed as a replacement for Delta faucet assemblies. It features a 1/4 turn stop mechanism, which limits handle rotation to a quarter turn for smooth, positive shutoff. The D-broach configuration matches the spline pattern required for proper handle engagement on compatible Delta-style valves. At 1.89 inches in length, this stem is sized for direct drop-in service on standard residential sink and lavatory faucets. Plumbers and service technicians keep stems like this on hand to restore full faucet function without replacing the entire valve body.

This stem is intended for residential faucet repair applications, specifically targeting Delta-style single-handle or two-handle faucets where the original stem has worn, stripped, or developed a drip. It is a common repair item on kitchen and bathroom faucets in both single-family homes and light commercial settings. The brass construction holds up to repeated cycling and resists the corrosion typical in potable water systems. Service plumbers and maintenance crews use this part during routine faucet rebuild calls.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply at the nearest isolation valve or main before disassembling the faucet. Use a stem wrench or deep socket to remove the old stem and thread in the replacement without cross-threading the brass body. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, when performing faucet repairs on potable water systems.
