Larsen Supply Co. S-115-1NL Union 1511 Hot Gopher Stem

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO. S-115-1NL is a Union 1511 hot Gopher stem designed as a replacement faucet stem for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. This no-lead-compliant stem is built to meet current potable water standards, making it suitable for installations where lead-free materials are required by code. The part ships carded in a clamshell package, standard for counter or service-van stocking. Plumbers and service technicians use this stem to restore proper valve function when an existing stem is worn, stripped, or corroded.

This stem is intended for hot-side faucet service on Union 1511-series valves, a common compression-style faucet found in residential kitchens, bathrooms, and utility installations. It is a direct-service replacement part suited for in-field repairs. The carded clamshell packaging makes it convenient for supply counter sales and individual job pulls. Package quantity is 6 units per pack.

Installation Notes

A stem wrench or deep socket is the standard tool for stem removal and installation. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC requirements for lead-free fittings in potable water systems.
