Larsen Supply S-924-3 Tub Shower Stem Sterling 5223

Product Description

The LARSEN SUPPLY CO. INC. S-924-3 is a replacement tub and shower stem designed to fit Sterling 5223 faucet valves. This stem uses a D broach interface and is available for both hot and cold sides, making it a complete service solution for a leaking or worn valve assembly. Plumbers and service techs install this stem during routine faucet rebuilds or when a cartridge-style repair is not viable. At 2.81 pounds packaged, the part ships individually carded, one stem per card, for straightforward counter or van-stock inventory.

This stem is suited for residential tub and shower applications where Sterling 5223 series faucets are installed. It is commonly encountered in renovation work, rental property maintenance, and warranty service calls where the original stem has worn, corroded, or broken. The D broach drive ensures correct rotational engagement with the handle and valve body. Both the hot and cold stem variants share the same part number, so confirm the side being serviced before ordering multiple units.

• D broach interface for proper handle-to-stem engagement
• Available for both hot and cold sides of the valve assembly
• Designed to replace Sterling 5223 tub and shower valve stems

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing the existing stem. Standard faucet stem tools and seat wrenches are typically required for this service. Inspect the valve seat for damage before installing the new stem, and replace the seat if worn to ensure a proper seal.
