Hello everyone, I have an old toilet from the 1960 era, and the tag in the tank says Sears Roebuck and shows a diagram of the Tilt Flusher and how to adjust it. My problem is a bolt on one side that holds the tank to bowl is dripping occasionally, and I think from what I searched that this...

I had gas logs in my fireplace, and removed them to restore the fireplace. Mine had a shut off at the log set, and another shut off in the house where the gas line originated from. I shut the line off where it originated from and removed the gas line and plugged it, then I removed the entire...

I have found that Chicago Faucet Shoppe has almost any part you can imagine. I have a 65 year old bath fixture that I needed parts for and I searched for parts for a few weeks. One call to Chicago Faucet and they sent me all the parts I needed. Hope your faucet will be good as new as soon as...

Thank you, I appreciate your advice but this is a bath tub fixture and not a car, and even if it were a car like the 1956 Ford Crown Victoria that resides in my garage, and has had countless hours of frustration, dozens of phone calls, and a lot of hard work in getting parts that you can't...

Hello again, I got the faucet seats and bought the seat removal tool, I bought the one that is a kit with 3 long rods with different sizes and shapes on each end and it comes with a small ratchet tool to get a good grip on the removal rod. Problem is, I took the stem out and made sure...

Hi everyone, I got the Wolverine Brass stems, and put them in, they fit perfectly and work. I'm thinking I should have put in new seats since the fixture is from back in the 50's and I assume probably never had new seats in it. I looked up that 30030 bibb seat part, and want to know are...

UPDATE: I just wanted to post an update to thank you for your help and replies. I located 2 Wolverine stems at the Chicago Faucet Shoppe in Chicago, and ordered a hot and cold stem, so I can put them into the tub fixture in the next few days. I didn't get any seats as yet, I wanted to...

Well, I've tried to get a new stem to replace this old one, and I think I have made over 20 phone calls trying to locate it. I talked to Kessler, and they said they make the stems but I'd have to buy one from a supply company, they don't sell them, but they told me to go to faucetshop.com and...

Thank you guys for all the information on this Wolverine stem. I can now go about fixing it , and I 'll have to count the splines I'm thinking it's more than 12, I counted them about 6 months ago or so when I turned the original washer upside down for a fast and easy fix and it held up until...

I have searched and searched and I am still unable to find this stem from my bath tub fixture. There is a stamping on the stem just above where the splines are and with a magnifying glass it looks to me like it reads, " 8 WOLVERINE " . I showed it to a plumber who came out to replace my...

Thank you all for the reply's. I put the packing nut back in and unscrewed that large nut, and got the stem out. Yay for me, I feel like a real plumber now.. ! I do have a question on this stem however, the end of it that has the washer on it swivels around and it feels loose...

Hello all, I'm new here, and I wanted to replace a washer in my bathtub fixture as it was dripping slowly for some time now. I removed the knob and trim bezel, it was very hard to get the knob off because I believe it's been on for about 30 years or more. The house was built I think in...
