Hi all,
I've been trying for a long time to replace a stem in my sink that's been causing a steadily increasing drip. Posted a separate thread about identifying a replacement but I'm coming to the conclusion it's unlikely I'll find something that matches.
Anyway, plan B is to replace the valve itself, and with it get a different stem. Is this a totally crazy idea to replace just one valve? Figure as long as the broach is the same and the OD of the valve is the same, I shouldn't need to change the handles. If somewhat sane, where can I find replacement valves? Attaching picture of existing valve for reference.
Thank you!
