I have an ancient shower - I found the stems originally at local Ace Hardware but they no longer carry them and couldn't help any further (I am sure they had a way to look these up but - I think just watching Youtube videos I knew more about it than they did which was scary!)
The issue is with the valve seat its in rough shape - Ace (2 different people) / Lowes / Menards - couldn't help or be able to match it up to get me a model number or at least just get me a new valve seat.
Can anyone identify this and get me a model number so I can replacement parts or just replace it all with proper parts.
I sanded the valve seat down to make it smooth but its got a notch it so it will still leak. This is for the cold side.
This was replaced a year or 2 back but I am 90% sure they did not replace the valve stem considering it was stripped and in rough shape.
Its like a 10 minute fix and I have been at this for weeks.
Lowes suggested just replacing everything with a new kit but wasn't sure if the parts would match up to my ancient plumbing...
I don't want to pay a plumber $300+ to replace a $2 part.
Thanks!
