Brasscraft ST1415 Ceramic Hot Stem Kohler 77005

Product Description

The BRASSCRAFT ST1415 is a hot-side ceramic faucet stem designed as a direct replacement for Kohler and Kirkpatrick faucet assemblies compatible with the 77005 cartridge family. Ceramic stems offer a more durable sealing surface compared to traditional rubber-seat stems, reducing the likelihood of drips and extending service intervals. This stem is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced service techs performing faucet repair on residential or light commercial fixtures. The ST1415 restores proper hot-water flow control to a worn or damaged faucet body without requiring full fixture replacement.

This stem is intended for hot-side installation in Kohler and Kirkpatrick faucets that reference the 77005 platform. It is a common repair part in residential bathroom and kitchen faucet service, particularly in older fixtures where ceramic stem technology was factory-specified. Confirm handle rotation direction and stem thread pattern against the original part before installation.

Key Features

• Hot-side ceramic stem for precise, durable flow control

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the hot-water supply at the stop valve serving the fixture before disassembly.
