Aqua Plumb 1787H Sterling Hot Stem

This genuine Aqua Plumb replacement stem fits Sterling kitchen faucets requiring a hot 2L-4H cartridge. It restores proper hot-water control when the original stem wears out or begins to leak. Homeowners and maintenance professionals can use it to extend faucet life without replacing the entire fixture.

Brass Construction and Poly Bag Packaging

The solid brass body resists corrosion and handles daily hot-water exposure in residential kitchens. Each stem ships individually in a protective poly bag, keeping threads clean and preventing damage during storage or transport. The durable finish maintains appearance and function through repeated use cycles.

Verify Faucet Model and Stem Configuration

Confirm your faucet is a Sterling unit that accepts a hot 2L-4H stem before ordering. Check the existing stem for matching spline count and overall length to ensure compatibility. Buyers needing a cold stem or a different spline pattern should look for the corresponding part number instead.

Questions about this item

Does the 1787H stem use a standard thread size for Sterling faucets?

The 1787H is a direct replacement stem for Sterling kitchen faucets, matching the original hot-side thread pattern.

What tools are needed to fit the brass stem into the faucet body?

A deep socket or adjustable wrench fits the hex base; no special puller is required for the 1787H.

Which way does the hot stem turn to open, and where is the common mistake?

The hot stem opens counter-clockwise; installers often reverse it, causing the handle to close in the wrong direction.
