Larsen Supply Co. S-461-3 Roman Tub Water Stem

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO. S-461-3 is a hot and cold Roman tub water stem designed as a direct replacement for Valley faucet model 0375. Water stems are internal valve components that control flow and temperature by moving against a seat inside the faucet body. This stem fits Roman tub faucet configurations, which are deck-mounted assemblies common in residential bath installations. Licensed plumbers and experienced repair technicians typically handle this replacement during routine faucet rebuilds or when addressing leaks at the valve seat. The part is sold individually, one stem per card, and is stocked in standard package quantities of six units for trade purchasing convenience.

Roman tub faucets are deck-mounted fixtures installed on freestanding or built-in soaking tubs. The S-461-3 stem is suited for residential plumbing applications where the original Valley 0375 faucet has developed wear at the stem, resulting in dripping or failure to shut off completely. This replacement is appropriate for both hot and cold valve positions within the same faucet assembly, making it a practical stocking item for plumbing service trucks and supply rooms handling Valley faucet repairs.

Installation Notes

Installation of this water stem is typically performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply to the tub fixture and relieve line pressure before disassembling the valve body. Remove the existing stem carefully to avoid damaging the seat. Inspect the valve seat for wear before installing the replacement stem, and follow applicable IPC guidelines for residential plumbing repair.
