So here’s the deal – if your shower handle spins way too far or the water temperature never seems quite right, there’s a good chance your stop tube or temperature limiter is worn out or just plain missing.
This 96987 replacement kit is exactly what you need to get things back in line.


This kit gives you two complete stop tubes with the built-in temperature limiting feature.
That’s handy because you can fix one shower now and have a spare for later, or do two bathrooms at once.
The parts are made from high-grade metals and tough plastics – not flimsy stuff that’ll break after a few months.
They’re built to last and handle the daily on-and-off twisting without wearing down.
Installation?
Pretty straightforward.
If you’re even slightly handy with basic tools, you can knock this out in maybe 15–20 minutes without calling a plumber.
The kit is designed to be DIY-friendly, but pros won’t have any issues either.
And the chrome finish looks clean and polished – it matches just about any bathroom style without sticking out like a sore thumb.

What’s cool about this kit is that it not only stops the handle from spinning all the way around (which is annoying and can mess with your valve), but it also lets you set a max temperature so you don’t accidentally scald yourself or the kids.
That’s a nice safety touch.
Just make sure your existing valve system is compatible before you buy – it works with most, but double-checking never hurts.

Overall, if your shower handle feels loose or the temp is all over the place, this 2-pack stop kit is a cheap fix that makes a huge difference.
