Larsen Supply Co. S-713-2 Union Gopher Cold Shower Stem

Product Description

The Larsen Supply Co. S-713-2 is a cold-side replacement stem designed for Union faucets using the Gopher stem pattern. This stem fits into shower valve bodies where the original Union 4412 stem has worn out or failed, restoring proper shut-off and flow control. Plumbers and remodelers install this part during faucet repair and stem replacement service calls. It ships in a package quantity of 6, making it practical for shops and service vans that routinely stock stems for common shower repairs. Weighing 1.22 pounds per unit, this is a compact, direct-replacement stem built for the cold-water seat position in Union shower applications.

This stem is intended for shower valve repair in residential settings where Union brand faucet trim and valve bodies are installed. The Gopher stem profile matches the Union 4412 series, making it a go-to pull for techs working on older shower valves requiring cold-side stem service. It is sold in a quantity of 6 per package, suited for plumbing supply houses and service contractors who prefer stocking proven repair parts in bulk.

Use the correct stem socket or deep-well socket to remove the old stem without damaging the valve body seat. Inspect the seat for wear and dress or replace it as needed before installing the new stem.
