So I live in an apartment in a old building, the tub has been leaking from the spout for a while getting worse with time. It is the water hot/cold handles as if I really tighten them it gets better.
I finally took it apart to fix it last night. I discovered that it is a Crane brand shower. I took the stems out and noticed the rubber washers on the end were completely worn out. I measured and took photos of the stem and did some online research.
So I came across this

It looks to be the exact same stem.
So my question is, does anyone happen to know if this stem is made by other manufactures? If I went to lowes or home depot would they sell it. I really dont want to spend $50 each on these things. Not sure if anyone makes replacement parts for the Crane FB1077 basically, or if I can get one of those shower rebuild kits I saw that would fit in.
Im going to track down the washers and replace them first and hope that that will fix it.
Thanks
