Brasscraft SH4008B Faucet Stem American Standard

Product Description

The BRASSCRAFT SH4008B is a replacement faucet stem designed to restore proper flow and shutoff function in compatible faucet assemblies. Faucet stems control the opening and closing of the water supply by engaging the seat inside the valve body. When a stem wears out, it causes dripping, poor shutoff, or handle looseness. The SH4008B is manufactured by BrassCraft, a supplier known for plumbing repair components stocked by plumbing professionals and service technicians for residential repair work.

This stem is intended for use in American Standard faucet applications. It is a common service part for residential bathroom and kitchen faucets where the original stem has worn or been damaged. Plumbers and service technicians typically carry replacement stems like the SH4008B to complete same-day repairs without waiting on special-order parts.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement stem for compatible American Standard faucet models. Verify fitment against the original stem or faucet model number before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve or main before disassembling the faucet. Remove the handle and packing nut to extract the old stem, then thread in the replacement and reassemble in reverse order. Do not overtighten the packing nut, as this can damage the stem or restrict handle movement.
