Shower Valve Recessed Too Deep Into Wall – Help!

Have you ever installed a shower faucet only to realize that the valve is too deep inside the wall? This common issue can lead to difficulty in operating the handle, leaks, or an improper fit with your trim kit. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution: a shower valve stem extension.

Why Does This Happen?

• Incorrect rough-in depth during installation.
• Thick wall tiles or additional layers pushing the trim further out.
• Valve positioning that doesn’t align with the manufacturer’s specifications.

How Can a Stem Extender Help?

A stem extender increases the length of the faucet handle connection, allowing for proper function without requiring a complete reinstallation. Brass extenders, like those designed for RBROHANT shower valves, are particularly durable and easy to install.

Choosing the Right Extender

• Check Compatibility: Ensure the extender fits your shower valve brand and model.
• Measure Your Existing Stem: Determine how much additional length is needed.
• Opt for Adjustable Extenders: Some extenders can be trimmed for a perfect fit.

Installation Tips

1. Turn Off the Water Supply before making any adjustments.
2. Remove the Handle and Trim Plate to access the valve stem.
3. Install the Extender and ensure it fits snugly.
4. Reassemble the Trim and Handle, then test for smooth operation.
