Groen Z009048 Stem Assembly Draw-Off Faucet 2" DIA 1-3/4"L

Faucet Control:
Controls the flow of liquid products through the draw-off faucet by regulating the position of the internal valve mechanism. As the stem assembly is operated, it adjusts the valve opening to allow gradual or full product flow during dispensing. This controlled movement supports smooth operation and consistent flow throughout normal use.

Draw-Off Operation:
Functions as part of the draw-off faucet assembly by transferring handle movement to the internal valve components. As the stem assembly moves, it positions the valve between the open and closed positions to control product dispensing. Proper movement of the stem assembly supports consistent valve operation and reliable control of liquid flow during cooking and serving applications.

Replacement Guidelines:
Replace the draw-off faucet stem assembly when wear, physical damage, deterioration, or deformation affects its ability to support the intended faucet operation. The part number Z009048 should be verified before replacement to ensure the correct stem assembly is selected. Replace the component when its condition affects valve movement, flow control, or its intended function within the draw-off faucet assembly.

Common Failure Symptoms:

• Draw-off faucet continues to drip after the valve has been fully closed.
• Stem assembly becomes difficult to turn or requires excessive force during operation.
• Excessive looseness or play develops while turning the faucet handle.
• Stem assembly no longer moves the valve smoothly through its full operating range.
• Visible wear or damage affects normal stem operation.

Equipment Compatibility:
The Groen Z009048 Stem Assembly Draw-Off Faucet is designed for commercial assemblies. Always verify your equipment model number and part number before purchasing to help ensure proper compatibility.
