This is usually due to the fact that the faucets look identical. The only difference in them is the thread pitch at the end of the stem. Which means a 500 series stem would not be able to thread into a 400 series, and vise versa. The best way to tell the difference between a 400 and 500 faucet is by the age. If the faucet was made before 2006 it will be the 500 series, and if it is newer than 2006 it will be the 400 series. If you are not sure of the age of the faucet you can also identify it by the amount of turns the handle makes to turn the faucet on. The 500 series will use a full turn, while the 400 uses a half turn.
