I would like to add a stem extension to the shut-off valve for one of our toilets.

As you can see in the picture, the valve has an integral supply tube that connects to the toilet.


The tube is a corrugated style solid metal tube. The shut-off valve handle has markings 'BOB' and attaches to the valve stem with a single screw.


The valve stem has splines on the end that engage a matching pattern in the handle. The valve stem appears to be plastic (it's grey).

Pretty much all the shut-off valves in the house are this type - on the sinks and toilets.

Does anyone know what make this valve is and where a stem extension might be obtained? (The valve is so close to the supply entrance at the bottom of the toilet tank that there's an interference between the valve handle and the nut on the toilet end of the supply tube)

Thanks on advance on info on this!

I'll try to upload pictures once I'm able to compress or take other pictures - the ones I've taken so far are apparently too big to upload to the site...

Stem extensions do not exist in the marketplace. A machine shop can make anything but I can't imagine screwing into a crappy valve stem.
Get rid of any supply that has integral supply tube to start with. BOB is or was a well known brand.
