ABSTRACT:
A faucet repair kit for replacing a faulty valve stem, handle and escutcheon. The kit includes an adapter ring for fitting over the replacement valve stem and including an adhesively backed ring for mounting directly on the tile work surrounding the stem to hold the adapter ring in position. The adapter ring is formed with external threads which engage with the internal threads of an escutcheon formed to fit over the valve stem and screw onto the adapter ring. The escutcheon may have a detachable neck to permit the length thereof to be adjusted. A valve handle with a detachable skirt is then provided for fitting upon the valve stem such that the skirt may be detached to selectively adjust the length of the valve handle in accordance with the relative lengths of the replacement stem and escutcheon.
