Moen 96945, 1" Handle Extension Kit for Posi-Temp Single-Handle Tub/Shower, Chrome

Moen 96945 Handle Extension Kit for Posi-Temp Valve – Chrome, 1-Inch

The Moen 96945 is a handle extension kit designed for use with Moen Posi-Temp® single-handle tub and shower valves. This component provides a 1-inch extension of the valve handle, accommodating installations where the valve is recessed too deeply behind the finished wall surface.

Constructed for compatibility with the Moen Chateau L2351 series and similar Posi-Temp rough-in valves, this kit ensures proper handle clearance and function. The kit includes the necessary hardware and features a durable chrome finish that matches existing Moen trim.
