Tapco 41057 Kohler Hot Ceramic Stem

Product Description

The TAPCO 41057 is a hot ceramic stem designed as a direct replacement for Kohler faucet assemblies. Ceramic stems control water flow and temperature on the hot side of a faucet valve body. This stem uses a ceramic disc mechanism, which provides a tighter seal and more durable operation compared to traditional rubber-seat stems. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified service technicians during faucet repair or valve rebuild work.

This hot ceramic stem is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a Kohler-compatible hot-side stem replacement is required. It is used when the original stem shows signs of wear, dripping, or failure to shut off completely. The ceramic construction helps resist mineral buildup and extends service life in both hard and soft water conditions.

Key Features

• Ceramic disc construction for improved seal durability and wear resistance
• Hot-side stem configuration for single- or two-handle faucet valves
• Direct replacement design for simplified installation
• Resistant to mineral deposit buildup common in hard water environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ceramic stem for Kohler-compatible hot-side faucet valve assemblies in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician. Shut off the water supply at the fixture stop valves or main shutoff before beginning any stem replacement work. Relieve pressure by opening the faucet before removing the old stem. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines during installation and reassembly.
