Thanks for the help with identifying my faucet as a Sterling 050-10. I have been able to find the valve for purchase on a few websites but have been unsuccessful finding a new handle/knob to go with it. The one we currently have is a dark acrylic/plastic knob and it has cracked.
Have emailed a few places online and looked at Lowes, Home Depot and Locke Plumbing and not able to find one that fits the valve stem. It is not a square stem or round, it is more of a rectangular stem with 2 rounded sides (have attached a pic).
We have tried 2 'universal' handles and neither of them fit. Any suggestions? If I am unable to find a handle, is there another valve/cartridge I can replace the Sterling with? And then maybe it would be easier to find a replacement handle?
Thanks in advance for your help!
