Tapco 04-0270 Cross Handle with Binder Nut

Product Description

The TAPCO 04-0270 is a cross handle with binder nut designed as a replacement repair part for Speakman faucet and valve assemblies. Cross handles provide a four-spoke grip that allows controlled valve operation in both residential and commercial plumbing applications. This component is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians performing faucet handle replacement or valve stem service. The binder nut secures the handle to the valve stem, ensuring a firm, rattle-free connection during operation.

It is commonly encountered in commercial restroom service, institutional plumbing maintenance, and residential fixture repair where the original cross handle has worn, cracked, or stripped at the stem connection. Installation requires shutting off the water supply before disassembly.
