Tapco 490-8586-02C Eljer Cold Handle

Product Description

The TAPCO 490-8586-02C is a cold-side faucet handle designed as a direct replacement for Eljer faucet assemblies. This handle mounts to the cold water stem of the faucet body and provides the manual interface for controlling cold water flow. Plumbers and service technicians install this part during routine faucet repairs or when the original handle is cracked, stripped, or missing. It restores proper operation to the cold water side of the faucet without requiring full fixture replacement.

This handle is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where Eljer faucets are installed. Typical install scenarios include bathroom lavatories, kitchen sinks, and utility fixtures equipped with Eljer faucet trim. Service plumbers working on older or existing Eljer installations will find this a direct drop-in replacement for the original cold water handle.
