Tapco LF402742-CP Broadway Cold Stem Unit

Product Description

The TAPCO LF402742-CP is a cold stem unit designed as a replacement plumbing component for Broadway faucet assemblies. Cold stem units control the flow and shutoff of cold water through a faucet body by engaging the seat washer against the valve seat. This part is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians during faucet repair or rebuild service. It is a direct replacement component intended to restore proper cold-water shutoff and flow control in compatible Broadway-series faucet assemblies.

Cold stem units of this type are commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where Broadway faucet bodies are installed. Typical service scenarios include leaking faucets, worn stem packing, stripped stem threads, or deteriorated seat washers. The LF402742-CP is suited for repair work where replacing the full faucet assembly is not required and restoring the existing valve body is the preferred approach.
