Tapco G0098710 Faucet Stem Washerless Hot Gerber

Product Description

The TAPCO G0098710 is a hot-side faucet stem designed for 1/4 turn washerless faucet cartridge applications. This stem replaces the internal valve component that controls hot water flow and shutoff in compatible Gerber-style faucets. Unlike traditional compression stems that rely on a rubber washer, the washerless design uses a ceramic or cartridge-based mechanism that resists wear and reduces drip-prone failure points. Plumbers and experienced service techs install this stem during faucet repair or rebuild service when the original stem is stripped, worn, or seized.

This stem is suited for residential and light commercial faucet repair work involving Gerber-style 1/4 turn washerless faucets. It is typically installed in sink faucets where the hot side stem requires replacement due to dripping, hard turning, or internal wear. Installation is performed at the faucet body with standard plumbing hand tools and does not require specialty cartridge pullers in most applications.

Key Features

• Hot-side stem configuration for proper flow and temperature routing
• 1/4 turn washerless design reduces long-term wear compared to compression-style stems
• OEM-style replacement geometry for Gerber-style faucet bodies
• No rubber washer seat contact, limiting a common drip failure point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement stem for Gerber-style 1/4 turn washerless faucets requiring a hot-side stem.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the hot water supply at the fixture stop valve or main supply before disassembly. Remove the faucet handle and packing nut to access and extract the existing stem. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines when servicing faucet valve components.
