Larsen Supply Co. S-230-3 Valley Ii Replacement Stem

Product Description

The Larsen Supply Co. S-230-3 is a replacement faucet stem designed for Valley II faucet assemblies using the SV broach specification. It covers both hot and cold positions, making it a single SKU solution for twin-handle lavatory and widespread shower faucet repairs. The stem controls water flow and temperature mix within the valve body and is a direct internal component that plumbers replace during faucet rebuilds. With a 0.3-pound package weight, it ships one stem per card and is available in package quantities of six for shop or truck-stock use.

This stem is suited for residential plumbing applications where Valley II twin-handle faucets are installed in lavatory and widespread shower configurations. It is the go-to replacement part when a faucet exhibits dripping, hard turning, or loss of shutoff due to a worn or damaged stem. Licensed plumbers and experienced plumbing service technicians are the primary installers for this type of repair work.

Installation Notes

Stem replacement is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valves or at the main before disassembling the faucet. Remove the handle, packing nut, and worn stem before threading the replacement stem into the valve body by hand first to avoid cross-threading. Follow local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC requirements, for faucet repair procedures.
