Tapco Spc 04-0497 Cross Handle Ceramic Cartridge

Product Description

The TAPCO SPC 04-0497 is a cross-style handle replacement component designed for use with Speakman ceramic cartridge faucet assemblies. Ceramic cartridge handles provide smooth, precise control over water flow and temperature by interfacing directly with the cartridge stem. This part is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced fixture technicians during faucet repair or renovation work where the original handle has cracked, stripped, or worn beyond serviceable condition.

This cross handle is suited for plumbing fixture repair applications where a Speakman-compatible ceramic cartridge assembly is present. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial settings during faucet refurbishment, handle replacement, or full cartridge service calls where maintaining original fixture aesthetics and function is the priority.
