Larsen Supply Co. 02-1710P Shower Valve Stem Packing

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. 02-1710P is a cloth-inserted rubber stem packing designed for shower valve service and repair. Measuring 13/16 inches outer diameter, 3/4 inches inner diameter, and 11/32 inches thick, this square-cut style packing seats firmly against valve stems to stop leaks at the packing nut. It is sold in a bag of 10 pieces, making it a practical stocking item for plumbers who handle high volumes of shower valve calls. The cloth-inserted rubber construction provides durability and resistance to compression set under typical residential water pressures.

This packing is used in shower valve stem repairs where the existing packing has worn, extruded, or begun leaking around the stem. The square-cut profile is a common configuration found in older-style compression and stem-type shower valves in residential applications. Plumbers and pipefitters keep this size on hand for routine service calls where replacing the packing restores a watertight seal without requiring full valve replacement.
