“Republic” Tub and Shower Stem
Here’s a hard one to find! Measures slightly over 5” overall, with the distinctive 8 point spline count. Fits many Republic in-wall valves made before the Briggs buyout. Republic was one of the smaller plumbing companies working before the Depression, and we’ve not seen anything made by Republic after 1931 or so.

“Standard” Tub and Shower stem
This stem was the first “Re-Nu” style barrel stem made by “Standard”. Used in the 1920’s, in standing waste and in-wall valve applications, this stem measures 6” long overall, and the widest point of the stem is 1 1/2” wide. The barrel itself measures 1” in diameter. These reproductions are American made, and use a o-ring at the bottom to help seal the barrel to the valve body. (the originals do not have this option as they were used before the invention of o-rings.)

Yes, this looks very similar to the Standard stems available at most Hardware stores. It’s actually about 25% larger in both width and length than the common stems.

“Standard” Shelf-Back Lavatory Stem
This stem was used in many 8” center shelf back faucets Standard made from the late 1930’s up to the early 1960’s. 3 5/8” long, 7/16” shank, and 22 spline. The below 80-0100 handles will bolt right on. Both hot and cold versions exist, cross handles normally take two hots, lever handles take one hot and one cold. If your sink looks like the one on the right, (it could be either an integral spout or metal spout), and does not have a canopy handle, this most likely is your stem! (Another does exist, the threads on it’s bonnet are longer, measuring 1/2”, see the below stem). This pictured one’s bonnet thread length is 5/16”.

The Other “Standard” Shelf Back Lavatory Stem
Okay, we give! This stem is the other stem used in many Standard-Brand sinks just like the one pictured above. The only difference between this one and the 86-061 pictured above? The bonnet nuts are different lengths. You’ll have to pull out your existing stem and check the lengths. This one’s male bonnet thread length is 1/2”. The really strange thing, we can set two identical looking sinks side by side, one will have this one, the next, the smaller one. Go figure....
Slightly longer than the 86-061, this one’s 3 3/4”, same stem diameter of 7/16”

“American Standard” Barrel only
These barrels are used in many “Standard” faucets made from the ‘30’s up to the ‘60’s. The actual stem lengths vary, but the barrel length and diameter remains the same. These measure 1 1/2” long and 7/8” diameter. These have been redesigned with an o-ring seal to help seal up the barrel to the valve body. This part has the seat of the faucet built into the bottom of it, and the entire barrel must be replaced when the faucet starts to drip. “Standard” faucets that have metal cross handles take the 15027 barrel, while the lever handles take one each of the 15028 and 15027 barrels.

Note; this barrel does NOT replace the barrel on the above 86-601 stem.

“American Standard” Tub-Shower Escutcheon
Another hard-to find part, these Chrome plated Zinc “Standard” shower escutcheons were used for 30 years or so and ended in early ‘60’s. OD measures 3” and it stands 1 7/16” tall. Over time, the original metal reacted with water and slowly corroded away. Before now, all one could do was replace the valve assembly, and that usually meant a whole new enclosure. Not anymore! Sold Ea.

“Sphinx” Tub Stem
Sphinx valves were used in the 20’s, and are easily identified by the oddly shaped ceramic cover that mounts over the valve body. These were a distinctive application that only Sphinx used. Also, the handles have a floating nut on the spud that actually threads onto the stem. Finally, we’ve found a manufacturer here in the U.S. that is reproducing both the stem and the diverter (Not pictured)

“American Kitchen” Faucet Stems
Also known as “Youngstown Kitchen” or “Crosley” kitchen faucet, these are known by the stems entering the sides of the boxy-shaped chrome faucet. These faucets came on either a 5’ or 6’ steel cabinet and countertop all set up, ready to go.  All one had to do was slap the cabinet in, and hook the water up. Stem measures 2 1/8” overall and is 3/4” wide. Other styles and lengths available in American Kitchen stems on a special order basis
