Great replacement but hard to remove the old one...
My 25 year old Kohler tub faucet was leaking badly, with the hot lever dripping, and acting weird: all the way closed ran like all the way open, with a drippy low flow somewhere in between. So it was past time to repair/replace. The old parts were all stuck: the screw holding the handle completely rusted out, the lower cone shaped piece frozen solid, and the stem itself? The 5/8” nut part rounded out, and a wrench, visegrips, penetrating fluid, heat, nothing would budge it. I ended up having to cut away the flange below the nut. A nightmare. My advise is use a thin layer of grease or anti-seize on the threads to make it easier decades down the road, and don’t overtighten. I found o-rings for the lever and the top cap. I used a 1-1/2 in long 8-32 stainless screw and lockwasher to secure the lever. I replaced the cold stem because it’s only a matter of time before it would fail, too. Should have called a plumber!

Works as described. A bit pricy though

Bought this to repair on old faucet that was leaking. The faucet is about 20 years old and I wanted the most efficient way to get it back to operating normally again. Thanks to Home Depot as they had the item in stock!

Kohler kitchen faucet needed hot & cold valves to be replaced. Went to Home Depot and quickly found the valves. The kitchen faucet is like new again. Handles work smoothly.

Why was there a difference in price for the cold vs the hot?
The faucet works great. Easy to install.

This is the part in needed and it was in stock, but it was stock with the cold water cartridges. I had to use a deep 5/5 inch deep socket with an impact driver to remove the old cartridge.

Worked great on my 30 year old faucets. Now I don't have to buy all new faucets before putting my house up for sale.

Worked perfectly as a replacement on a utility sink that had no manufacturer identified.
