Larsen Supply Company LARS-726-4 Diverter Stem

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY COMPANY LARS-726-4 is a tub and shower diverter stem designed for use in residential tub and shower valve assemblies. The diverter stem controls the flow of water between the tub spout and the shower head by redirecting the water path when actuated. This type of stem is a common service part replaced by licensed plumbers during routine valve maintenance or when a diverter fails to hold pressure and divert flow properly.

This diverter stem is suited for residential plumbing applications in tub and shower combination fixtures. It is typically installed in a stem-type diverter valve body mounted in the shower wall. Plumbers reach for this part when a diverter no longer shifts water fully to the showerhead or leaks past the seat. It serves as an OEM-style replacement in standard tub and shower trim configurations.

Key Features

• Diverter stem design redirects water flow between tub spout and shower head
• Direct replacement form factor for straightforward serviceability
• Compatible with stem-type diverter valve bodies in residential tub and shower systems

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply to the fixture and relieve pressure at the faucet before removing the existing stem. Inspect the valve body seat for wear or damage before installing the new stem. Do not overtighten the stem into the valve body, as this can damage the seat or stem threads.
