Moen 486906 Stop Tube Kit Chrome Plated

Product Description

The MOEN 486906 is a chrome plated stop tube kit designed for use in faucet and plumbing repair applications. A stop tube limits the travel of a faucet stem or cartridge, controlling flow and shutoff function within the valve body. This kit provides the hardware needed to restore proper stem operation in compatible MOEN faucet assemblies. Licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians install this component as part of a faucet rebuild or valve service. The chrome plated finish matches standard trim finishes and resists corrosion in wet environments.

This stop tube kit is suited for residential plumbing repair work where an existing stop tube is worn, damaged, or missing. It is typically installed during a faucet cartridge service or full valve rebuild. The kit format provides the necessary components in a single package, reducing the need for separate part sourcing during a service call.

Key Features

• Chrome plated finish for corrosion resistance and trim-match appearance
• Kit format includes components needed for stop tube replacement
• Designed for faucet stem travel control within the valve body
• Lightweight construction at 0.065 pounds for easy handling during installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement stop tube kit for compatible MOEN faucet valve assemblies requiring stop tube service or repair.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply to the affected fixture and relieve line pressure before disassembling the valve. Follow local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC guidelines, when servicing faucet valve components. Do not force the stop tube into position, as improper seating can damage the valve body or cartridge.
