Jerich 426882 Ceramic Stem Assembly Left Hand Altman

Product Description

The JERICH 426882 is a ceramic stem assembly designed as a left-hand replacement component for faucet and valve repair applications. Measuring 6.58 inches in length with a 16-point configuration, this stem assembly provides a precise fit for compatible Altman fixtures. Ceramic stem technology resists wear and mineral buildup compared to traditional rubber seat designs, supporting long service life in both residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians are the typical installers for this type of repair part.

This stem assembly is intended for use in Altman-branded faucet and valve systems requiring a left-hand stem replacement. The 16-point spline specification ensures correct engagement with the valve body during installation. It is suited for repair and maintenance work on existing fixtures where the original stem has worn, cracked, or failed, restoring proper flow control without full fixture replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply completely and relieve line pressure before removing the existing stem.
