I have a house 1953 with pricepfister stems and no replacement. Need a diverter valve
I just went to a proffessional plumber supply place and he did not have anything and gave me a replacement substitute, but too long unless I leave out one washer. It still leaks. His advice was burn the house down & start from scratch or go to plumbing school. Home depot has been a bust. It is impossible to find washers even. We used to have an old Ace and he had everything, but retired. Help appreciated.
When u put on the shower the water comes out of the faucet and a constant drip drip drip.

Hi Mark, Thank You for answering so quickly. I have called pricepfister and they have sent me some replacements but they were not right and did not work.
These are a bit different as the threads are before the thing with holes in it. I will use the link & try again & let you know.
I will add photos to this question too. Originally, I replaced them and the original contractor poured cement over them if you can imagine so I had to chisel them out. At the time they had an Ace in business for 50 years so he kept all the parts & I was able to replace, but his time he retired.
It is too bad the old timers retire who kept everything. Again Thanks so much for the link.

Hi hkstroud. Thank you for your reply. Yes, I did replace the seat and could replace it again as I bought a whole bag on eBay.
I will take phots of new & old stem next to each other & by itself, but I am not sure how to upload on here. Do you press Embed image?
I appreciate the help.
