Delta Faucet Co RP1740 Stem Assembly

Product Description

The DELTA FAUCET CO RP1740 is a replacement stem assembly designed for Delex-series faucets. The stem assembly is the internal valve component that controls water flow and temperature by translating handle movement into precise cartridge or seat contact. This part is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians performing faucet rebuild or repair work. Keeping a genuine OEM-specification stem on hand reduces callback risk and ensures proper shutoff and flow characteristics after service.

This stem assembly is intended for use in Delex-series faucet applications. It is suited for residential sink or lavatory faucet repairs where the original stem has worn, cracked, or begun to leak past the seat. The part ships in a package quantity of 12 units, making it practical for plumbing supply stock or fleet service inventory.
