Will it fit?
Fits
- Delta, Delex and Peerless two-handle and three-handle tub and shower faucets
- Delta H25, H28 and H41 handle families
- Delta 2600 series valves
Not compatible with
- Single-handle Delta Monitor or MultiChoice valves
- Delta R11000 diverter rough-in
- A worn or leaking stem (that needs a new stem, not an extender)
Is this your part?
Back out the handle screw and look at the end of the stem. If the broach is a D shape rather than a round splined post, this extender indexes onto it.
When to replace it
After new tile, backerboard or a tub surround builds the wall out, the handle sits deep in the escutcheon, wobbles on the broach, will not seat flush, or cannot turn through its full range.

Questions
Do I need to shut off the water?
No. The extender threads on outside the packing nut, so the valve never comes apart and there is nothing to bleed down.
Is there a 2-pack?
Yes. Delta packages its own RP12631 as two extenders with screws, and the FourHome 2-pack (Amazon ASIN B0H2BMGS7T) matches that quantity.
What if the stem itself leaks?
An extender only adds reach. A worn or leaking stem needs a new stem, such as the FourHome replacement for Delta RP1740.
