Midwest Fasteners Plastic Faucet Handle Index Button

Midwest Fasteners Plastic Faucet Handle Index Button

The Midwest Fasteners Plastic Faucet Handle Index Button, also known as a cold or hot indexer cap, identifies the hot or cold side on a faucet or valve handle. Molded from durable plastic, this index button snaps or presses into the recess on a compatible faucet handle to restore a missing, cracked, or broken original cap. This family is available in a range of sizes - 11/16", 13/16", 15/16", and 1-1/8" - so repair techs, plumbers, and DIY buyers can match the exact diameter of the recess on their specific faucet or valve handle before ordering. Each index button is sold as a standalone replacement part for common residential faucet repair jobs, letting you restore the original look and function of a worn handle without replacing the entire fixture or hardware set.
