Description
The LARSEN SUPPLY CO. S-244-1 is a hot ceramic faucet stem designed as a direct replacement for the Price Pfister 2077 stem. Ceramic stems provide a more durable seat interface than traditional rubber washers, reducing drip failures over time. This part controls hot water flow in compatible single- or two-handle faucets and is a common service item for plumbers handling faucet rebuilds and drip repairs. It meets no-lead compliance requirements, making it suitable for potable water applications. The S-244-1 ships carded in a clamshell pack with a package quantity of 6 units per pack.
This stem fits new-style Price Pfister faucets calling for the 2077 hot stem. It is intended for residential plumbing installations where the original ceramic stem has worn, chipped, or cracked, resulting in dripping or reduced shutoff performance. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians are the primary installers, though knowledgeable DIYers comfortable with faucet cartridge work also install this part during routine faucet maintenance.

Installation Notes
Shut off the hot water supply at the stop valve before removing the existing stem. A stem puller or channel-lock pliers are typically used for removal and seating of the replacement stem. Work should conform to local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Do not overtighten the stem packing nut, as ceramic components can crack under excessive torque.
