Kohler 43268-CP Tub Handles Pair

Product Description

The KOHLER 43268-CP is a pair of tub handles designed for use on bathtub faucet assemblies. These handles provide the manual interface for controlling hot and cold water flow at the tub valve, and they are finished in Polished Chrome (CP), a standard finish designation in the KOHLER lineup. Replacement handle sets like this are a common service item when original handles become damaged, stripped, or cosmetically worn. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install these as a direct OEM-style replacement to restore full valve function and appearance.

This handle pair is suited for residential bathtub faucet applications where the existing handles require replacement. The Polished Chrome finish integrates cleanly with chrome trim packages commonly found in residential bathrooms. Installation is straightforward and typically does not require extensive disassembly of the valve body, making this a practical service or renovation component.

Key Features

• Sold as a matched pair for hot and cold valve positions
• Polished Chrome finish for durability and compatibility with standard chrome trim
• OEM-style replacement maintains original look and function
• Lightweight construction at approximately 0.708 pounds per pair

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement handle pair for compatible KOHLER bathtub faucet valves. Confirm valve model compatibility against KOHLER documentation before ordering, as handle fitment is valve-specific.

Installation Notes

Handle replacement on a bathtub faucet should be performed by a licensed plumber or a knowledgeable installer familiar with plumbing trim work. Shut off the water supply to the tub valve before beginning any disassembly. Remove the existing handle set screw and handle before fitting the replacement, taking care not to damage the valve stem. Refer to KOHLER installation instructions for proper seating and fastener torque guidance specific to the valve model.
