Brasscraft ST3448B Crane Hot Cold Stem

Product Description

The BRASSCRAFT ST3448B is a replacement faucet stem designed for Crane hot and cold faucet applications. Faucet stems control the flow and temperature of water by seating and unseating against the valve seat inside the faucet body. This stem is used in residential and light commercial plumbing repair, restoring worn or damaged valve assemblies to proper working condition. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers familiar with faucet repair install this type of component as part of routine fixture maintenance.

The ST3448B is suited for Crane brand faucets requiring hot or cold stem replacement. It fits into the valve body of compatible Crane faucets, making it a practical choice when leaking or worn stems cause drips or loss of flow control. This part is typically installed during faucet rebuild service when replacing the entire fixture is not warranted.

• Restores proper shutoff and flow control to the faucet valve assembly
• Suited for residential and light commercial fixture repair

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or a qualified individual familiar with faucet valve repair. Shut off the water supply at the stop valve or main supply before removing the existing stem. Drain residual pressure from the line before disassembly. Inspect the valve seat for wear or damage before installing the new stem, as a damaged seat will cause continued leaking even with a new stem in place.
