Kohler 486588 Bonnet

Product Description

The KOHLER 486588 is a replacement bonnet designed for use in Kohler plumbing fixtures. A bonnet is a cap or cover component that seals and protects the valve stem assembly, helping to maintain a watertight connection and prevent leaks at the packing area. This part is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians during faucet or valve repair. It is a direct OEM-style replacement part intended to restore proper function to the valve assembly it serves.

This bonnet is suited for residential plumbing repair applications where the original bonnet has worn, cracked, or begun to leak around the valve stem. It fits into standard valve servicing workflows, typically as part of a faucet rebuild or stem replacement procedure. Technicians replacing packing, stems, or cartridges in Kohler fixtures will encounter this component as part of the valve assembly stack.
