Crane “Temple Dial-eze” Metal Spout Valve Body
After years of robbing these valves off of perfectly good sinks, we found a manufacturer who was willing to go the extra mile and mill new bodies using an original valve as a pattern.  While these are not cast brass like the original Crane lavatory bodies, they are milled from solid brass stock.  These will fit onto postwar Crane widespread lavatory sinks using the metal spout.  They include the Criterion, Diana, Norwich, Elayne, and Westland.  Crane originally called this the “Temple” valve, these are an dimensionally exact copy of the original.  We have several ways of buying these valves, one can buy them with or without handles, and there are 3 different handle options.

Crane Pre-war Shower and Concealed deck Valve stem. 5-5/16” overall length. 3/8” diameter.  Fits all Criteron & Rival concealed bath valves made before WW2, and Telsa, Agilis, and Rival Wall sinks.  If the escutcheon is retained by a chrome knurled nut, this is your stem

Crane pre-war Lavatory Stem
5-3/4” overall length, 1/2” diameter.  Fits Corwith, Elegia, Ovation, Nova, and pre-war Diana sinks made after the late 1920’s. Same stem used for hot & cold. If your escutcheon screws on to the valve, and there isn’t a nut holding the escutcheon down, this is the stem for you
Note; For several years in the late ‘20’s and early ‘30’s, Crane used a square broach on the end of the stem.  You have to remove the stem and compare it to both this stem and the 86-511HC stem below.  Both appear identical when installed in valve body.

Crane Early Widespread Lavy Stem
5 3/4” overall, 1/2” diameter stem, always square broach.  This stem is used in early Crane pedestal sinks up to about 1925.  Crane actually used the same valve body casting for both this stem and the 86-101HC stem, they just re-tooled the interior threads.  Both have the screw-on escutcheons.  So, if you have a Crane widespread lavatory, and it has a square top on the stem, you’ll need to pull the stem out and compare it against this picture and the one immediately above.  If it does not match this picture, you’ll need the 86-121HC available just above.
Note; a left-handed version does exist, but is no longer made.  Your only solution would be to replace the valve body with an later version original valve body. Call for Details.

Crane pre-war Lavatory Stem
4-1/2” overall, 3/8” diameter.  Used in most slant back and shelf back wall hung lavatories, including some early Drexel and Corwith-Compeer models. Also, occasionally used in kitchen sink applications.  Same stem used for both hot and cold. Note; overall length can vary by application.  If your stem looks like this one, but is shorter, this one will still usually work, it simply moves the handles out a bit more.

Crane Pre-war Slant-back Kitchen/Lavatory Stem
4”overall, stem 3/8”  Used in many Sunnyday, Kitchen Queen, and Homemaker faucets set at the “odd, 45 degree angled deck on 11” centers” and the occasional Drexel or Corwith-Compeer lavatory sinks.  If the metal escutcheons unscrew off the valve and aren’t retained by escutcheon nuts, this is most likely your stem.
Please note; some early Crane kitchen faucets made before 1928 had a slightly smaller diameter thread on the outside of the stem.  This stem can be re-milled to work, but we’ll need your valve body here to match the threads.

Crane Pre-War in-wall Shower Stem

Note; there are other lengths that look very similar, some are available on a special order basis.

Note, these 6” centerset faucets used a couple of different seats, depending on when it was made.  We’ve discovered that a #2 pencil fits almost perfectly in an X-13 seat, but spins in a X-12 seat.  This is the easy way to tell one from the other.

New Old-Stock Crane Criterion Lavatory Set
We’ve replaced all the rubber gaskets, and polished up the original Chrome plating, but this is an original Crane Criterion faucet, and it’s still in it’s box.  The original handles have yellowed a bit, but that’s the only sign of age we could find.  This set comes with the long supply lines, so it will fit both sizes of Criterion sink.  We’ll probably never see another one....  Do not let it escape!
