Obsolete Kohler Parts Needed


Hey Guys,

Need a bit of help here. I'm searching for a Kohler escutcheon plate made out of brass. It is definitely a Kohler product from 1986. It is also no longer produced.

Does anyone know of a good source for obsolete plumbing parts?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have an idea, go down and pull the gag off of Tom and ask him about one.

Take a little get away. Drive up north, get pampered in Kohler for the weekend, and pick it up at the D.C.

Patty... give these people a call North Shore Faucets, 5628 Dempster Morton Grove, 847 470-0306. They have thousands of parts like that in stock, they have saved my butt many a time, and were recomended by a plumber bud.

Thanks for the help, Rich. I will call them on Monday when I come back from Florida.

As for you two 'others' from the peanut gallery, BE NICE!

If you cannot find them there you could also try Watertown Supply , as they carry many parts that are no longer made.
They also have a website so you may be able to look at the piece before you buy.

Good Luck
