Larsen Supply Co. S-216-1NL Hot Faucet Stem Sterling 2222

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO., INC. S-216-1NL is a hot-side faucet stem designed as a direct replacement for Sterling model 2222 lavatory and wall-mount faucets. It uses a D broach seat interface, which is the engagement point between the stem and the faucet body that controls water flow when the handle is turned. The stem is manufactured as a no-lead compliant component, meeting Vermont and California AB-1953 requirements for low lead content in plumbing products that contact potable water. Each unit ships individually packaged, sold in a case of six.

This stem is intended for residential and light commercial lavatory faucets and wall-mount faucet bodies that use the Sterling 2222 stem pattern with a D broach configuration. It is a hot-side-only replacement. Typical applications include bathroom lavatory faucets where the original stem has worn, stripped, or developed a drip that cannot be corrected by reseating alone. A licensed plumber or qualified service technician handles this type of repair in jurisdictions where plumbing work requires a license.

• D broach stem interface for proper engagement with compatible faucet bodies

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement stem for Sterling model 2222 lavatory and wall-mount faucets using a D broach seat interface, hot side only.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valve or at the main before removing the old stem. A licensed plumber should perform faucet stem replacement in jurisdictions that require permits or licensed trades for plumbing repairs. Confirm the D broach profile and stem thread pitch match the faucet body before installation. Do not overtighten the packing nut, as excess torque can crack older faucet bodies.
