Larsen Supply Co. S-115-2NL Union Cold Gopher Stem

Product Description

The Larsen Supply Co. S-115-2NL is a cold gopher stem designed as a replacement stem for Union faucet model 1512. Faucet stems control water flow and temperature by engaging the seat inside the faucet body. When a stem wears or cracks, it causes dripping and loss of shutoff ability. This part is no lead compliant, meeting current safe drinking water standards. Plumbers and plumbing technicians install replacement stems as part of routine faucet repair service in both residential and light commercial settings. Each unit is sold individually and is carded in clamshell retail packaging, making it straightforward to stock and identify at the point of service.

This cold stem is intended for repair of Union brand faucets using the model 1512 cartridge and stem configuration. It is suited for cold-side faucet repair in standard residential water supply systems. Typical applications include kitchen and bathroom faucet rebuilds where the original stem has worn, stripped, or lost its ability to seat properly. The no lead compliant construction makes it appropriate for use in potable water systems subject to current federal and state lead content regulations.

Installation Notes

Faucet stem replacement is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified plumbing technicians. Shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valve or main supply before beginning disassembly. Remove the handle, packing nut, and worn stem, then thread the new stem into the faucet body and reassemble in reverse order. Check for leaks at the packing and supply connections after restoring water pressure.
