Larsen Supply Co. S-1047-3 Tub Shower Stem Gerber 6469

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO. S-1047-3 is a replacement tub and shower valve stem designed to match Gerber 6469 specifications with an F broach fitting. This stem serves both hot and cold positions, making a single SKU cover both sides of a two-handle tub and shower valve. It ships carded and is packaged in quantities of six units per pack, making it a practical stocking item for plumbing contractors. Licensed plumbers install this stem during faucet rebuilds when the original stem is worn, stripped, or leaking. The F broach interface ensures a secure seat with compatible handle hardware.

This stem fits two-handle tub and shower valve configurations where the Gerber 6469 stem is the OEM specification. It is suited to residential bathroom plumbing service calls, valve rebuild work, and maintenance plumbing in older construction where Gerber fixtures are common. The hot and cold interchangeability reduces the number of SKUs a plumber needs to carry on the truck for Gerber tub and shower service work.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber should shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing the existing stem. Stem removal and installation typically requires a stem wrench or deep socket. Follow local plumbing code requirements, including IPC guidelines, for valve service and repair work. Inspect the seat for wear before installing the new stem, and replace the seat if necessary to ensure a proper seal.
