Tapco 70442 Stem Extender Kohler Coralais

Product Description

The TAPCO 70442 is a stem extender designed for use with Kohler Coralais faucet valves. Stem extenders are used when a valve stem must be lengthened to reach the trim or handle assembly, typically due to wall thickness variations or deck installation depth. This part is sold as a pair and includes O-rings for a complete, leak-resistant installation. Licensed plumbers and experienced faucet repair technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This stem extender is suited for residential bathroom and kitchen faucet repair and retrofit applications where the original Kohler Coralais valve stem does not reach the handle trim. It is commonly used during remodeling projects where tile or wall material has been added over an existing valve body, increasing the depth between the valve and the finished surface.

Key Features

• Sold as a pair for complete two-handle faucet service
• Includes O-rings for a sealed, leak-resistant connection
• Designed to extend Kohler Coralais valve stems to trim depth
• Accommodates wall thickness variations common in remodel installations

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement stem extender for Kohler Coralais faucet valve assemblies. Verify stem thread pattern and diameter against the existing valve before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified faucet repair technician. Shut off the water supply to the affected fixture and relieve line pressure before disassembly. Inspect O-rings for proper seating before reassembly to prevent leaks at the extension joint. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes during installation.
