Larsen Supply Co. S-1159-4 Tub Shower Diverter Stem

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. S-1159-4 is a tub and shower diverter stem designed as a replacement for the Gerber 6470 diverter stem. The diverter stem controls water flow direction between the tub spout and the showerhead in a standard two-way diverter valve assembly. Weighing approximately 2.99 pounds per package, this stem is sold in a carded clamshell pack and is intended for installation by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians performing valve stem replacements in residential tub and shower systems.

This diverter stem fits into tub and shower applications where a Gerber 6470-compatible valve stem is required. It is suited for residential repair and maintenance work where the original stem has worn, cracked, or failed to hold a proper diverter position. The carded clamshell packaging makes it well suited for counter or peg display in plumbing supply and trade distribution environments. Each package contains 6 units, making it practical for stocking purposes in service vehicles or shop inventory.
