Tapco FB9302 Hot Stem Assembly

Product Description

The TAPCO FB9302 is a hot stem assembly designed as a replacement valve component for plumbing systems. The hot stem assembly controls the flow of hot water through a faucet body, allowing the valve to open and close when the handle is turned. This part is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians during faucet repair or valve rebuild work. It is a direct-fit component intended to restore proper function to a worn or damaged valve seat arrangement.

The FB9302 hot stem assembly is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It is typically installed when a faucet is dripping, the handle spins freely, or the valve stem threads have stripped. This component is associated with Crane-brand faucet bodies, making it a relevant service part for plumbers working on older Crane fixture installations.

Key Features

• Hot-side valve stem assembly for hot water flow control

Use appropriately sized seat wrenches and stem tools to remove the old stem without damaging the valve seat. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for fixture repair.
