Kissler 72-1172 Brass Bibb Screw 8-32 X 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The KISSLER 72-1172 is a brass bibb screw used to secure the stem assembly inside compression-style faucet valves and hose bibb bodies. Sized at 8-32 thread pitch with a 0.25 inch length, this small but critical fastener holds the stem washer firmly against the valve seat to control water flow and prevent dripping. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet plumbing environments. Plumbers and pipefitters keep these on hand as a routine replacement item during faucet repair service calls.

This bibb screw is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications wherever compression faucets, hose bibbs, or sillcocks are serviced. It is a standard replacement part installed during washer replacement procedures, where the original screw is often corroded or stripped beyond reuse. Having the correct thread size and length is essential to a leak-free repair.

Key Features

• Brass construction resists corrosion in continuous wet-service conditions
• 8-32 thread pitch matches standard compression valve stem configurations
• 0.25 inch length suits typical bibb stem washer fastening depth
• Drop-in replacement format for routine faucet and hose bibb repairs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement bibb screw for compression-style faucets, hose bibbs, and sillcocks requiring an 8-32 x 0.25 inch fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified service technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembling the valve stem. Use the appropriate flat-head or slotted screwdriver to seat the screw without over-torquing, which can strip the brass threads or crack the stem washer. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance when servicing potable water fixtures.
