    Some filing of brass square head may be needed
  

*by P***G on Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2019*

This is the third PK80xx series Replacement Stem for c1993 Arrowhead faucets I have ordered.  What the manufacturer and seller do not disclose is that the rectangular shaped brass end that holds the flat washer requires some filing down (at least for older product) in order to fit into the hydrant housing.This is not a "deal breaker" as it is much easier to file the end so that it fits than to cut into a wall to replace the entire faucet.Filing the ends: Recommend filing and rounding off the sharp rectangular brass edges only a little (aprox 0.005") at a time.  Take the same amount off each end to ensure that the attached washer remains centered on the rectangular end.  Also, use an inexpensive caliper to measure how much brass is filed off, and to make sure the cross-dimensions remain equal.Other notes:Stem seal on the old product and new replacement are different.  The old stem seals utilized a packing gland, while the replacement uses a sliding O-ring mounted to a piston that moves in & out of a cylinder--This may be a good improvement--Time will tell.Also, on one replacement stem, I could not screw the existing faucet handle/knob completely tight.  A washer under the head of the screw took care of the problem.  I did not chase the stem internal threads with a tapping tool to see if it had been fully tapped.  Fully disclosure, I reused the faucet handles & screws that were on the old hydrants rather than installing new handles & screws as the instructions directed.  If the handles and screws really need to be replaced, they should be part of the stem kit.One more thing, I would recommend using a food-grade silicon grease to lubricate the faucet washer and O-ring & cylinder prior to final installation.
