I bought a house with a bathroom that was destroyed by water that came in from the leaking roof. The roof is replaced and the bathroom is remodeled now. I put on newer shower handles that fit on the existing stems. That is when I noticed that the two handle shower stems are leaking. The handles I bought came with compression and seat type stems. I tried to replace the old ones only to find a completely different type of stem that does not seem to have a seat. Everything I have found online has been about compression/seat stems. I can't even figure out what this type is called online let alone anything else. Is it possible that there is no seat in it? Is there a way to use the new valves I have or can I find ones that would match my existing setup? I’m attaching a picture of the existing valve that was already in the bathroom and a shot of what I’m seeing in the wall. Thanks in advance!
