Brasscraft ST0301 Hot Water Stem Tub Shower

Product Description

The BRASSCRAFT ST0301 is a hot water stem designed for tub and shower faucet applications. This stem fits the 788-20 barrel configuration and serves as a direct replacement part in residential plumbing systems. It controls hot water flow through the valve body when the handle is actuated. Plumbers and experienced DIYers install this type of stem during faucet repairs when the existing stem shows wear, corrosion, or failure to seat properly, resulting in drips or difficulty shutting off flow.

The ST0301 is suited for tub and shower faucet valve service in residential settings. It is specified for the 788-20 barrel configuration, making it a targeted replacement for that stem pattern. This part is typically installed during service calls where the faucet drips from the spout or tub outlet with the handle fully closed, indicating a worn or damaged stem seat or packing.
