Barry E Walter Sr Company 402242 Stem Assembly

Product Description

The BARRY E WALTER SR COMPANY 402242 is a stem assembly designed for two-handle faucet configurations with a left-hand orientation. This type of stem assembly is a core internal faucet component responsible for controlling water flow and temperature when the handle is turned. It is engineered to a 20-point thread specification and measures 3.24 inches in length, making precise fitment critical for proper sealing and operation. Plumbers and licensed plumbing contractors install this part during faucet rebuilds or as a direct replacement when worn stems cause dripping or handle failure.

This stem assembly is suited for two-handle faucet repair in residential and light commercial plumbing applications. The left-hand designation indicates the side of the faucet this stem serves, which must be matched correctly during replacement. The 20-point thread count and 3.24-inch stem length are the primary fitment identifiers that should be verified against the existing stem before installation. It is commonly encountered in valve repair work on older faucet bodies that accept Dormont-style stems.

Key Features

• Left-hand orientation for correct side-specific faucet stem replacement
• 20-point thread specification for precise thread engagement and sealing
• 3.24-inch stem length for accurate dimensional fitment in compatible faucet bodies
• Two-handle faucet design compatibility for standard residential and commercial valve repair
• Direct replacement stem assembly reduces the need for full faucet replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement stem assembly for two-handle faucets accepting a left-hand, 20-point, 3.24-inch Dormont-style stem configuration. Verify thread count, stem length, and hand orientation against the existing part before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing the existing stem. Avoid over-tightening the packing nut, as this can damage the new stem or restrict handle movement. Inspect the faucet seat for wear and resurface or replace as needed before installing the new stem assembly.
