Steelman 61205 Faucet Reseater Kit Compression Seat

Product Description

The STEELMAN 61205 is a faucet reseater kit designed for plumbers and experienced tradespeople who service compression-type faucet valves. The kit resurfaces worn or damaged faucet seats, restoring a proper sealing surface and eliminating leaks at the valve. It includes three steel cutter heads sized at 5/16 inch, 1/2 inch, and 9/16 inch to cover the most common compression faucet seat diameters found in residential and light commercial fixtures. Three washers are also included to support a range of reseating tasks. The compact design of the kit makes it practical for working in confined under-sink spaces where tool clearance is limited.

This kit is suited for residential plumbing service calls involving dripping or leaking compression faucets. It is a go-to tool for plumbers handling faucet repairs on older fixtures where replacement seats are not removable and must be resurfaced in place. The three cutter head sizes make the kit versatile enough to address most standard compression seat configurations without requiring multiple specialized tools on the truck.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or qualified trades professional should perform faucet seat resurfacing work. Before beginning, shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valve or main shutoff and relieve pressure by opening the faucet fully. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines, when servicing faucet valves. Do not overtighten the reseater tool against the seat face, as excessive force can damage soft brass seat material.
