Chicago Faucets 1910-005KJKNF
The Chicago Faucets 1910-005KJKNF is a genuine OEM 1" stem extension kit designed specifically for shower diverter valves. This specialized part is used when a shower valve with an integrated diverter (typically the 763-CP or SH-PB1 series) is roughed-in too deeply behind the finished wall. If you have added thick wall materials like marble, granite, or heavy tile, the standard diverter stem may not protrude far enough for the knob or lever to attach. This kit provides exactly one inch of additional reach, ensuring the diverter remains fully functional and accessible without requiring expensive plumbing modifications or wall demolition.
Specifications:
- Used for valves that are roughed in too deep, adds an additional inch to the rough-in depth
- For use with 763-VONF and 773-VONF
Expert Insight:
The 1910-005KJKNF is the "missing link" for diverter handle installations. Installation Tip: When installing the extension, make sure the diverter is in the "down" or "tub" position. This ensures the extension splines align correctly with your trim handle's internal orientation. Pro Tip: If your diverter is hard to pull or push, the extension won't fix the underlying friction. Before you close up the trim, check the 763-XJKNF diverter cartridge for mineral buildup. Lubricating the stem with a tiny amount of waterproof plumber's grease can prevent the extension from snapping under high torque. Need to verify your valve series before ordering?
