Description
The Larsen Supply Co S-804-2 is a cold-side shower stem designed as a replacement for Price Pfister 5042 series lever handle shower valves. This stem uses a B broach configuration and is installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians during valve rebuild or replacement work. It restores proper cold water flow control in shower valves where the original stem has worn, cracked, or failed to seat correctly. At 2.93 pounds, the part ships individually and is packaged one per card, making it straightforward to stock for service calls.
This shower stem is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where Price Pfister 5042 lever handle shower valves are installed. It is a direct-replacement stem suited to valve rebuild projects in bathrooms where the cold side has lost function due to stem wear or damage. Plumbers replacing stems in aging fixtures will find this part a practical fit for restoring valve performance without replacing the entire valve body.

Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply to the shower valve and relieve line pressure before removing the existing stem. Inspect the valve body seat and packing before installing the new stem to confirm no additional components require service. Do not overtighten the stem packing nut, as this can restrict handle operation and accelerate wear.
