Larsen Supply Co. Inc. S-823-1 Hot Tub Shower Stem

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO. INC. S-823-1 is a hot-side tub and shower stem designed as a replacement for the Kohler 5401 H-broach stem. This stem controls hot water flow in a Kohler Shoreham tub and shower valve assembly. It seats against the valve seat to start, stop, and regulate hot water at the point of use. Plumbers and service technicians install this stem during valve repair or rebuild work when the original stem shows wear, corrosion, or fails to shut off cleanly. Sold individually, this stem restores proper valve function without requiring a full valve replacement.

This stem is applicable to residential tub and shower installations using the Kohler Shoreham valve configuration with an H-broach pattern. It is a direct drop-in replacement suited for repair calls where the hot-side stem is the source of dripping or poor shutoff. The stem ships one per card and is packaged six units per package, making it practical for stocking in a service van or supply room.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified service technician should install this stem. Shut off the water supply to the affected fixture and relieve line pressure before disassembling the valve. Standard packing pliers and a stem wrench are typically used for stem removal and installation. Verify the replacement stem seats fully and that packing or an O-ring is replaced as needed to prevent post-repair drips.
