I believe the Kalisons are metric which means you would not be able to use them. You could make or have made custom stems. They would have Conn threads where the stem goes into the valve. Then the top would have Kalison threads. Now that I think about it, If I really wanted those buttons I would drill out the original stem, fill the hole with brass rod, and then drill and retap for kalison threads. Of course if you wanted to put the Conn buttons back on, you would have to get new conn stems or redrill/tap again. The best way to do it would be custom stems. Ask your repair technician if he/she could do this. If not e-mail me.
