Jerich 411221 Newport Ceramic Hot Stem 5.5 in 16-point

Product Description

The JERICH 411221 is a ceramic hot stem designed as a replacement component for faucet valve assemblies. Measuring 5.5 inches in length with a 16-point spline and a 3/16-inch connection, this stem controls hot water flow through the faucet body. Ceramic stem construction provides improved durability and reduced wear compared to traditional rubber or neoprene seat configurations. Plumbers and fixture repair technicians install this type of stem during faucet rebuilds and valve repairs.

This stem is suited for residential and light commercial faucet repair applications, specifically within Newport-style faucet assemblies. It is typically installed when an existing hot stem shows wear, dripping, or failure to seat properly. The 16-point spline count and 3/16-inch sizing are critical for proper fitment — confirm both values against the existing stem before installation.

Key Features

• Ceramic construction for extended service life and consistent sealing performance
• 5.5-inch stem length for correct depth fitment in compatible valve bodies
• 16-point spline drive for positive handle engagement
• 3/16-inch connection size for precise valve body compatibility
• Hot-side configuration — designed for hot water supply control

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement stem for Newport-style faucet valve bodies requiring a 5.5-inch, 16-point, 3/16-inch hot stem. Confirm spline count, stem length, and connection size against the existing part before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off the hot water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling the faucet valve. Standard faucet stem removal tools and seat wrenches are typically required. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) for fixture repair procedures.
