Larsen Supply Co. S-203-2C Cold Ceramic Disc Faucet Stem

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO. S-203-2C is a cold-side ceramic disc faucet stem designed as a direct replacement for Delta faucet assemblies using the OEM reference 0271. Ceramic disc stems provide a durable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional rubber-seat cartridges, using hardened ceramic wafers to control water flow and shutoff. This stem is sold individually per card and is suited for installation by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians performing faucet repairs in residential or light commercial settings. At 0.54 pounds, it is a compact, drop-in replacement component.

This stem is intended for cold-water faucet positions in Delta-compatible single- or two-handle faucet bodies that accept the 0271 stem configuration. Typical applications include bathroom lavatory faucets and similar fixtures where the original ceramic disc stem has worn, cracked, or begun to leak. The ceramic disc design resists mineral buildup and wear better than rubber-seat stems, making it a common choice for repairs in areas with hard water.
