Compression Stems for Faucet Repair and Replacement

Compression stems are essential faucet repair components used in traditional compression-style faucets to control water flow and shutoff. Commonly found in two-handle lavatory, kitchen, and utility faucets, these stems use a washer-based sealing mechanism that compresses against the valve seat to stop leaks. This category includes hot and cold compression stems in a variety of sizes, thread patterns, and spline configurations to support accurate replacements. Ideal for maintenance, repair, and retrofit work, compression stems are widely used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where durability and precise fit are critical.
