I'm looking for a valve spline identifying plate. It's a plate with female valve spline patterns to stick a valve into. It helps identify what brand of valve I have. It also has male valve spline patterns to fit faucet handles into. I've seen aftermarket ones that are manufacturer-specific- like Danco, it tells you to see Danco part #xxoo. I'm looking for one that will identify actual makes, not code numbers.
There is also a template that helps identify valves by length.
I work in the plumbing department of a San Francisco hardware / lumber store. All day long, people are bringing in old valves and handles, with no idea what brand of faucet they came from. If they don't match our limited stock of valves & faucets, there's not much I can do for them.
I'm tired of opening valve packages over & over again to see if they'll fit into handles. Does anyone have a good source of valve & handle identifying resources? Our suppliers don't have anything.
Thanks!
