Can't find such a thing on Home Depot or Lowes/Rona so here's my question ...
Installing a new one handle Moen shower handle, and shower arm and head. Going well until I came to the part that once I put the stop tube onto the valve, and screwed the escuteon on, the key stop and adjustable limit stop only go so far into the end of the stop tube extending the stop tube too far out of the shower wall (about an inch) so that the handle adaptor now can't reach to slide onto the cartridge stem and get screwed on.
The install pictures show the cartridge stem out past the end of the stop tube by 1/2" or so.
Is there something like an extender I can add onto the cartridge stem that would lengthen it by an inch so that the handle adaptor can attach and screw to the extender with the slide tube pulled out the the minimum length I need it? Searching on HD.ca and Lowes.ca turned up nothing.
Thanks for any help. This would complete my small bathroom reno project and, as usual, it's the last job that causes a hiccup.
Later edit ... Moen sells an extender kit (96945) that has the one part I seemingly need ... a small brass (metal?) extender the fits on the cartridge end to lengthen it. It is literally that one part I need, not the whole kit (except for perhaps a longer bolt). May need to buy the kit at this point for that one piece.
