Kohler Stem

[TomFOhio]

I had the honor of looking at this old relic of a faucet. Didn't want to try yet on pulling the stem out. Was hoping one of you guys might recognize this faucet.
Where is a good site for old Kohler products?? Thanks

I think it’s a Kohler Valvet, long stem or medium length but I’d measure it. I can’t tell from the pics.

I think it’s this one. You’ll need a hot and a cold stem.

I think that’s it but I’m not sure, I’m going by memory. You can remove the stem to verify.

With kohler and some others you need to know the manufacturer date sometimes in order to know what parts it has inside. They don’t make it easy because they keep the same model number but update the inside parts

Thanks TW. This is on one of those heavy pedastal sinks. Would weigh a ton to get off. I'm hoping I can
just replace the stem and not the whole faucet.

Yes, I believe it to be a kohler Valvet model. I’m not suggesting replace the faucet.

I know. Was just saying this is why I want to repair over replace.

That’s a high dollar faucet that probably matches others in the bathroom. I repair a lot of faucets for this reason. Change one you have to change 5 faucets or more to make it all match.
