Central Brass OP-330002C Two Handle Faucet Ceramic Stem

Product Description

The CENTRAL BRASS OP-330002C is a cold-side ceramic stem cartridge designed for two-handle faucet assemblies. Ceramic stem components provide a reliable seal and smooth quarter-turn or multi-turn operation, making them a go-to replacement for worn or dripping faucet stems in commercial and residential applications. The ceramic disc construction resists mineral buildup and wear better than traditional rubber-seat stems. This part is installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians during routine faucet repair or rebuild work.

This ceramic stem is suited for two-handle centerset or widespread faucet configurations where the cold-side stem requires replacement due to dripping, stiff handle operation, or seal failure. It fits into the cold-side valve body and is a direct service replacement for the original stem in compatible CENTRAL BRASS two-handle faucet models. Typical install scenarios include commercial restroom faucet service, janitor sink repairs, and light industrial plumbing maintenance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing the existing stem. Use a stem wrench or deep socket to extract and seat the stem without cracking the valve body. Follow IPC guidelines for fixture service and verify no leaks at working pressure before returning the fixture to service.
