Larsen Supply Co. S-1070-2 Cold Tub Shower Stem

Product Description

The Larsen Supply Co. S-1070-2 is a cold-side tub and shower stem designed as a replacement for Central Brass model 6512 valves. This stem controls cold water flow through the valve body when the handle is turned, providing a positive shutoff and smooth operation. It is packaged in a carded clamshell for retail or counter-sale environments. Plumbers and service technicians install this part when the original stem shows wear, stripped threads, or seat damage that causes dripping or difficult handle operation. Each unit ships individually and is suitable for service calls or stocked repair inventory.

This stem is used in residential tub and shower valve repairs where the Central Brass 6512 cold stem has worn out or failed. Typical installation scenarios include bathroom remodels, fixture upgrades, or maintenance calls where the valve is already plumbed in and only the internal stem needs replacement. The carded clamshell packaging makes it a practical counter-stock item for supply houses and service vans alike.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply to the fixture and relieve line pressure before removing the existing stem. Inspect the valve seat for damage before installing the new stem, as a worn seat will cause premature failure. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
