M18 Square shaft 7 mm Cermet Faucet Stem (180-degree rotation)

M18 Cermet Faucet Stem with ceramic inserts is a basic element of any 2-handle faucet. This part is located in the body of the faucet and is designed to regulate the water flow rate, its temperature and pressure. Like any other plumbing part, faucet stem has its own specific lifetime and eventually gets worn out. In most cases of water leakage the reason is a worn-out faucet stem. This part is used in 2-handle faucets (with wheel handles). Ceramic Faucet Stem was designed as a modern alternative to a rubber faucet stem, which has already proven itself so far. Its structure is simple, reliable and durable.

The hallmark of Ceramic Faucet Stem is the simplicity of its construction. The internal stop valve consists of two ceramic discs with identical hole shape, which regulate the water flow by being matched or mismatched. One of the discs stays still while the other is movable and can open or close the hole on the first disc. The part is installed into a mixer tap with standard seals and washers. The structure of a faucet stem with 180-degree rotation offers water flow regulation by a half-turn of the wheel handle.
